Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

We are diving on the Great Barrier Reef. The clams are so big they look as though they should be in a Hollywood movie... Journey to the Bottom of the Seas comes to mind. Mark would go very close to the clams and I could invision the clam clamping down on Mark's arm and me winding up a widow. But such was not the case. Its beautiful, its exciting, and there is a little danger with the beauty which just lets you know how great it is to be alive and living with all that beauty. We stayed three nights on the dive boat and took 4 dives a day. Dive, eat, sleep. It was marvolous. No phones, no internet, no television in the room. There was a nice common area where we took meals and could meet other parties diving... but most all were exausted from diving and it was a fairly calm crowd. People of all ages from all around the world.
