|  Trip of a Life time!
Hey Guys
Im going to be heading to Suva Fiji in mid Feb 08. Woohoo!!! I am very excited ill post lots of pics when i get back so you can all check it out. Even better is i got ahold of walt smith international and they said it was fine to stop by check out their operation, and go on a coral collection trip with them! I am very very excited about this. I am hoping that I can bring some corals home, walt smith said if I have a business account with them feel free to pick out what ever i want... so down side im not a business just a hobbyist, but if anyone is interested let me know, sounds like i get to be a cherry picker right from the source!
Happy Holidays all!

Awesome man! In Feb. im going to Turks and Caicos, but sadly wil not see the fish that are encountered more often in this "addiction". I did have the oppurtunity to go snorkeling with triggers, rays, and some other fish in that famous sunken volcano in Hawaii. I cant recall its name, but it was sweet! Ive been to St.Kitts and Nevis, Aruba (and luckily was not stolen by Van Der Sloot), St.Lucia, Hawaii, Turks and Caicos (im going again to the beaches resort that is all inclusive so i can just go any restaurant/bar to get as many virgin bannana smoothies as i want, ah the good life! and its going to be second semester in school, so NO essays this time), Maya Riveria, and da Bahamas. | |
