Total pain in the ass to get out of the country. Almost as much of a PITA to get back in...but, getting things close to what would be normal.

First dive this morning...14 to 20 more to go.

As always at this time, it's Friday night, lol. Having some drinks and relaxing at the house. Life is good. No first world problems, that I care about at the present time.

I know I'm ''going to'' have a good day avoiding the cockroach thread.

This is the 'String Section' of the Brklyn Phil. Orchestra, giving a 'Pop-up' performance in front of the Brklyn Museum.
It was great to hear them, & they played very well!

Air Transat is finally refunding our cancelled 2020 trip to Cayo Coco. The money is nice but I would rather be there instead...

I'm in Curaçao. Flight to Bonaire got canceled...so changed my plans last minute. Pretty strict rules to get here and come home.

rebekahb · 05-22-2021, 09:51 PM

At the beach again. Busy past few weeks.

We really liked curacao so hope you enjoy your trip! If you are just relaxing one day, Klein curacao is decent boat ride and clear waters. I don't recall it being interesting for diving but not sure

Can look into it...see what its about. Just really nice to get away, First time out of the country since Jan 2020.

TiMSport · 05-23-2021, 09:33 PM

It was a good day because the Atlanta Hawks finally made the playoffs and won their first game against the Knicks with a raucous MSG crowd (which is cool due to fans finally being allowed to attend). It was the first playoff game for Trae Young who lit them up.

It's more of if you are planning a beach day type event, there is a lighthouse or something that we got to walk up, shipwreck on the other side of island, but otherwise nothing to do except swim in clear waters drink and relax. We took the catamaran over.

What's your consulting rate? There is a department that doesn't get that they can't order 16 laptops without telling IT.

If it can be done by Zoom in less than 3 hours, the consulting rate may be as cheap as a trip to In-N-Out (which I have never eaten), some dry ice, and shipping a package to the east coast overnight.....
