Later Gater

I'm heading to a hotel near the airport tonight and I'm leaving on a 6 AM flight Saturday for Riviera Maya, Mexico. DW and I will be spending a week at an all-inclusive resort. White sands beaches and clear blue water...oh yeah.

Sweet!
Enjoy it. The only things you should see frozen are ice cream and 'ritas!

It will be fun Scott. We're staying at the Grand Sirenis resort and many of the reviews mention the great snorkeling right the resort's beach. The photo I posted was taken last year at the Grand Bahia Principe - Tulum resort we were at last year.

"Grand Sirenis"... Big sirens?

By the way, I thought that the photo was from a tourist website. Excellent shot!

Thanks for the compliment Arefbee. That part of Mexico is so spectacular; taking beautiful pictures is just a matter of pointing the camera and shooting.

For Christmas my daughter gave me a swim mask that has an underwater digital camera built into it. I can’t wait to try it out.

What the...?

While exploring the shoreline away from the beach area at our resort I came across this fellow walking the rocky shoreline. It took a little research before I found out what that guy was carrying on his back.

Looks like a Google Maps/Earth mapping device.
