This was the last sentence of the last post I wrote many months ago: “Next week should be detox time, we’re off to Utila to dive so no more binge drinking for a while.” Umm, I could not have been more wrong. We did have a mellow nights when we arrived, reading our diving books, going to sleep early to be ready to dive at 7am etc. Then we realized it’s not that bad to stay up until 2 and still make it to the morning boat. Well, it is, but it’s doable, as long as you plan to nap the next day. Long story short, I fell in love with diving, my sister fell in like with it and we decided to stay here in Utila to become divemasters. We met great people that we were doing our training with, some that we were only doing our drinking with and a few that were blog worthy. But between diving every day, sometimes on the morning and afternoon boats, studying for and taking a bunch of tests, finishing everything else we had to do to become divemasters and spending the time we weren’t doing that stuff at the dive shop hanging out with everyone and being hungover from time to time, blogging was the last thing I had the energy for. Once we finished our training, we left the island for a while to meet the other sister in Peru, spent about 2 1/2 weeks there and another 2 1/2 in Nicaragua on our way back here. Now that we are back, life on the island is a little less hectic. Plenty of time for story telling, and in the short week and a half that we’ve been back, I may have more stories to tell than the first two months here.
