Nice. Where to? Good time of the year to go--not too humid. Although you'd probably appreciate a little humid where you are.

Southern Caribbean..

Humid... We got 2 inches of rain last week here in the Desert... That's more rain than we got the entire year of 2009.... I have to head to the ocean to dry out....

It is pretty wet all over the US this year. I guess no droughts this summer. Hopefully.

Sounds great! Not the equipment I need where I am with lots of snow...

With your photo skills I expect some really good underwater wrist shots with that Submariner on your wrist!

Best,

A

Looks like the watch could probably go deeper than the camera :)

Have a good trip and post some underwater pictures when you get back or have internet connectivity.

Are you going on a cruise or directly to an Island?

We'll be cruising out of Ft Lauderdale and spend 10 days hitting St. Thomas, Aruba etc... Snorkeling, swimming, whale watching and plenty of good food....

Sometimes I need a break from all this.... It is my only job....
