My room









Hi guys!
Well I've finally been able to get online. First of all I forgot my computer charger and mom and dad had to fed ex it to me. Well I got it!!!
My room. It's nice. No air conditioning. oh will. We get a great breeze in the room and have 2 fans, half the time Im cold anyway. I live with 2 others in my room. We have one King size bed, where Betsy and I sleep and then another twin bed, where Danielle sleeps. Betsy is dive staff and Danielle is sail staff. I don't usually see her very often.
We also have a bathroom in our room. Here's some pics.

Back Home!

Well here I am in the BVI again. It is great to be back. Everyone is so happy to see me and I am so happy to see them. I've already met some great new people. I live in a huge house with beautiful pool and I get to sleep in a comfy king size bed. Oh and there is a washer and dryer at the house....YES!!!
I love it here. I 'll post some pics soon, I don't have my camera with me right now. Oh and ironicly the only place I get wireless is at my old house at Sunsail.. Figures.

Back to the BVI- Canceled Flight

Today June 7th 2007. I am heading back to the British Virgin Islands to work for the summer. In addition to that, I will also be taking the instructors course. YAY! Sounds great Huh!
After waking up at 4:00am and driving all the way to DIA, I was shocked to find out that my first flight to Miami had be canceled! What? However, the status board still says "Miami- On time" And now my dad is grumpy because I made him wake up 3 hours early. Luckliy, I did get another flight connecting to Dallas instead and arriving 3 hours later. Could've been worse, I could be leaving tomorrow!
Wish me luck on the next journey

Day 24

Well 24 days have gone by... WOW. I don't feel like I have been here that long at all, I feel like I just got here. It has been amazing though. I have learned so much, met so many great people from around the world. From Jamaica, England, South Africa, etc. I've met people who I enjoy being with and I don't feel scared to be myself in front of them. That is a major accomplishment for me! I was scared to death to come here on my own seeing as how I still live at home with mom and dad, and the first time I move out for a while, I move out of the country... It's amazing, I've deffinitly been pushed out of my comfort zone. But that is what needs to happen sometimes.
Anyway... I have today and thursday off. Back to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then I'm off on Monday April 30th. I can't wait to see everyone again. I miss you guys.
I send my love,
Kara

My Apartment





Here are some pictures of where I live for the month. Sunsail apartments about a 2 minute walk to work. I work in Hodges Creen Marina. Beautiful place, no sunset though, you have to go to the other side of the island to see the sunset.

I am on the bottom level.

The sailboats is the marina on the walk to work in the morning.

Day 16




I've been here 16 days, two weeks to go! I am loving it so far, I still have my good days and my bad days, but at the end of the day it is all better, because we all do up to the bar!!! and relax!

Mostly I've been diving. Morning 2 tank dives and the afternoon dive. I've only been to 3 ohter dive sites besides the Rhone. I've started leading dives now, I'm good at the Rhone Bow, the stern is kind of confusing- first time I lead to dive to the Rhone Stern I got everyone lost. I was swiming around and somehow ended up at the bow of the ship, I casually turned around pointed out some fish and finally found the stern again, and I dont know how in the world I found the mooring line. It was pure luck!

I've finished my Cooper island trainding so the next time I'm there I will be running all alone. Running the compresser, sales, rental all of it. I think it will be fun. It is a beautiful island, I'll enjoy being there.

I still havent spent a whole day at base yet,like I said ive been diving, I acctually have a night dive tonight so I dont have to be in until 12:30

Cheers
