Out of Retirement and Back in the Jungle!

Beautiful white sand beach to myself on Ko Samet, Thailand

Wow, it's been exactly sixty-three days since I last posted. Sorry to keep you all waiting in suspense, but I haven't had much internet access over the past month since getting back to SE Asia. I pretty much have been island hopping and blogging took a back seat to hiking, snorkeling, volleyball, and diving. Yes, I am officially certified to go to 30 meters under water. Crazy as I never really had an interest in breathing out of a tank in the depths of the sea, but I stayed on an island in Thailand overflowing with dive shops so I figured why not?

And now here I am in Manado, Indonesia, having just spent a few days on Bunaken Island off the north coast. This definitely has to be some of the best diving in the world! So many different kinds of coral and fish it's incredible. I can totally see how this can become really addicting. In fact it already has as I have also been to Malaysia too. I'll post some photos later, as there are just far too many and I'm about to take off for another island to do some muck diving...don't ask because I'm not quite sure what to expect yet myself!

So now that you know I'm alive and well, expect some more frequent updates in the future. And if you ever want to get certified to dive, Thailand is the place to do it, so what are you waiting for?
