I'm gett'in kind'a antsy... Were leaving for the Keys next Wednesday. When we were last there (2/07) I did SNUBA. Returning north I promptly visited my LDS and signed up for SCUBA. We did our OW last September. I havent dove since then and am anxious to get wet outside a student / instructor situation. We're taking our 8 year old grandson along and plan to stay in Big Pine.

Any suggestions from those who have been there, done that? I'm wide open! I hear Noname Key has great pizza

I'll get some visit time in with my cousin. She has worked with NOAA as a marine biologist for 25 years and lives in Marathon. I hear the water is both flatter and warmer in the summer.. good! Sure hope we have good weather.

I'm borrowing a BC & Reg / computer from the LDS. I plan to pack it in a plain luggage case and check it. I'm a bit nervous about the airline loosing it or someone steeling it. The bag will be too big to carry on though.

I'll post a trip report along with a gob of pictures when we return.
