This blog will be all about why my family and friends shouldn’t be freaking out! In all seriousness, I have been touched by the conversations I have had with folks over the last few days and the concern and well wishes I have received. It seems like people are all over the map in what they think about my trip. I look at it from a different perspective.
Something most people don’t know, is that I aborted my first dive ever. Crazy, eh? I was so excited, it was something I had always dreamed of doing (I was 18), and I got in the water and it just didn’t feel right. For me, I can tell in my stomach when I’m not supposed to dive. After that, over the last 17 years, I have aborted two more. I have always made the right decision when it had to be made. My philosophy is that I have a lot more dives that I want to do, so it is in my best interest to make sure I take the high road and at the end of the day, only do it when it feel right. So far, so good.
The other thing people have been asking me about, is if I’m excited. It’s weird. A trip of this length and this depth gets taken care of one step at a time for me. For right now, I’m concerned about getting everything checked and double checked, packed and that I haven’t missed anything. Thursday, I will be concerned with my flights to Dallas and Honolulu and then I’ll take it from there.
This blog has taken on a life of itself. I am always surprised by the amount of people who take time out of their day to check in on me and my adventures. I will publish all of my updates through here, so I encourage people to “follow” the blog, and that way, you will get an email update as soon as a new blog/pictures are published.
Stubs.
