Yeah, good luck with that. My nephew, the tank sitter, is 6'2" and about 240lbs. And if you do get around him, make sure you take the Beagle with the corals. :mrgreen:

That' really funny. Made my morning.

We aim to please or was that tease! :redface:

Lance 02-16-2010 02:15 AM

I'm Back!!!!!!!!!!!

And we had a terrific holiday. :biggrin: Someone had asked me to list the hi-lites of the Mayan Riviera because they were going soon (Fishoholic? was it you Laurie?)

We stayed at the Barcelo Maya Tropical (all-inclusive resort), which is a little over an hour drive south of Cancun. Very nice place. Beautiful, 2.5 km long beach, nice room, excellent food and facilities. I have to agree with it's 5- star rating and highly recommend it.

Some of the excursions we went on were:
-Tulum where we saw some of the Mayan ruins. (I give it a 2 thumbs up)
-Playa del Carmen for shopping, site-seeing, etc. (3 thumbs up)
-Xel-Ha, which is a beautiful park containing a huge lagoon where a fresh water river mixes with the salt water from the ocean. The snorkling was very good here; lots of fishes to see. We also went down the river on inner-tubes which was kind of boring except for the part where my wife got her butt stuck in the tube.:mrgreen: and I convinced her to abandon the tubes half way down the river and hike through the jungle where we got lost and finally came out to a place where we had to swim half-a-mile to get back. :redface: (expensive, but a nice place: 3 thumbs up)
-Xplor Adventure Park where we rode the zip-lines and I scared the living **** out of myself. We also drove amphibious all-terrain vehicles, and swam down an underground river through caves full of stalactites and stalagmites. (I rate Xplor a 3 thumbs up)
-Xcaret Eco Theme Park which was my favourite excursion: great snorkling, river raft rides, animal exhibits, marine aquarium, and a nighttime show in a large theater. (I give it 4 thumbs up)

We took lots of pictures including underwater pics from our snorkling and diving. I will post some in the next couple of days.

PoonTang 02-16-2010 02:22 AM

Hey Lance, glad to hear you made it home safe and sound. Did you bring all the frags I requested? :twised: JK Cant wait to see all of the pictures. Did your babies miss you? :)

Darren, I couldn't have brought you any frags even if I was allowed to. This area of the Caribbean has lots of fish, but very little in the way of SPS. Lots of gorgonians and some LPS though.

Yes, the little bugger is happy to have me back Leah.

Lance 02-16-2010 02:38 AM

My tank sitter did a very nice job. Aside from a little cyano in the 225g everything looks to be fine. And a big thank you to Dave and Marie for being on emergency alert.

Sorry, no shots like that, but the wife took one of a married couple that had to weigh 700 lbs between them. He was in a speedo and she was bare chested. :shocked!::shocked!: Would you like to see that one Leah?
