All right, Bert, you asked for it ... selfies(-ish) galore! \o/ (As a stand-in until I get the real stuff sorted - in typical fashion, Kali and I squeezed pretty much every last drop out of a trip. Four water activities, an as last-minute-as-you-can-get horseback ride, and even arts <3 in a matter of 48 hours. We probably spent just as much time in the water as out of it this weekend. Everything is beautifully exfoliated and my hair is soft and fluffy like you wouldn't believe.)
Also, diving down with flippers is like my new favorite thing in water now after learning what I'm calling the mermaid flap (cuz I learned it secondhand from Kali and I totally missed what she said our guides called it). Large bodies of water was never an easy medium for me for all that I like to think I'm an excellent swimmer, what with all the motion sickness (I've gotten seasick snorkeling, much less boating) and ear pressure issues (even today my right ear is still not quite back to normal) and general dislike of wet and sand and salt (o god why even this trip you might be thinking - cuz I apparently like to bang my head against a wall in the same place several times to see if I can break through to the other side? >.>)
BUT!! The key here is apparently to distract myself with shiny new things to try out cuz I was literally the last one to crawl out of the water yesterday and even then it was only cuz poor Kali had a date with some dolphins. I'm pretty much fully onboard with this whole ocean thing now and who knew but if you do some things enough times you might actually get a different result after all! ^_^
