Xmas – day 6

Fine Sunday. I got my trip to Samoa mojo back today. In deed, I broke my resolution to not take underwater pictures anymore. BH Photo has a great price on Panasonic’s low end “rugged” camera. $99. Which is less than it would cost to rent a low end rugged camera. I did have to shell out nine bucks to get it delivered next week.

And, I went out and collected a few 3 ounce bottles of important potions. Bug repellent, hair conditioner, sunscreen, toothpaste, Dr Bonner’s, baby shampoo, neosporin, deodorant. My 1 quart baggie is stuffed full. I’d best not declare anything else “important”.

I still need to get some dorky reef shoes and a pair of boardshorts. Seems that regulation North American old lady one piece bathing suits are considered too revealing. WalMart will provide cheap dorky reef shoes and the thrift shop will provide boardshorts.

Bring on the enormous bats and huge crabs. Hold the packs of wild (but rabies free) dogs, please.

When going out for an early snorkel – a huge cruise ship showed up. Our little village was stuffed with happy shopping, eating and drinking visitors. Which made for a nice early Xmas present for the merchants.
