Island Hopping

I'm finally back at the net. We spent the last week on two islands North of Cebu. the first was Malapascua Island, and I got my Open Water Diver certification there. It was a lot of fun. I saw lots of cool creatures including a couple of sharks. One was a Thresher Shark. I wish I could take my camera underwater with me. The second place we went was Bantayan Island. No diving there but it was relaxing on the beach.
We are waiting for a boat now to Negros, and then we are going to try to go to Borocay. I wanted to take a small boat today, but then we heard it was dangerous. The weather is a little unpredictable. So far it's been nice. Not too hot on most days, and only rain a few days a week. The mosquitoes were in attack mode in Malapascua, but here they are not bad. I was not too worried until I saw the Dangue Fever warning. So now we are just waiting here for the boat tomorrow.
As my relationship with Vernie develops I'm remembering so many things that I heard people say about relationships. It' funny. I can't wait for her to come to CA and visit. One more month and I will be home again. The first thing I plan to do when I get back is apply for her visa.
