At a computer again. It feels like forever since I wrote last. We did 10 dives at Matemwe
Beach. It was wonderful. My air consumption sucked. Could barely get an hour on most dives using an 80 cu. ft. tank. What was up with that? The water was a bit cooler and a wee bit of current but that in not a very good excuse.

Anyway, I saw turtles, a shark (baby), leaf fish, nemo's (clown fish), scarface (Morish idols) , turtles, alagator fish. etc etc etc. It was way different than home. Way for fish but the vis was not that great. I did get some photo's but not so many. I totally could not figure out the macro. Chuckie---------------HELP??????? I did get a few nudibranches.

Right now we are at the Mtoni hotel which is only 5km out of Stone Town. I was upset at first to see how far away we were but now that it is raining we would be stuck in our room where here we can still be outside. Both of the places we stayed in on Zanzibar have been awesome. This is a beautiful island.

Well tomorrow we head back to Nairobi. I cannot belive that my holiday is almost over. Two days in Nairobi and then I start my 3 day trip back home. It has been a totally awesome time.

More once I get to Nairobi.

Sorry that this has taken me so long. You all need to know that I am just fine. I have not had a computer for 9 days and I got some devestating news on the one day I was on.

I did make it to the top of Kili. That was awesome. On the 4th of Nov. was the first time I could reach my email. I found out the my totally favorite kitty Rembrandt got out of the house around the same time I was going for the top of Kili. He was hit by a car a killed. I cried for two days solid. All we were looking for on Safari were the cats. Lions, Lepoards and Cheeta's. Needess to say I did even more crying when I saw them. The worst was a few days ago when we found a pride of lions with 3 cubs.

I have written this message a zillion times in my head. Each and everytime I wrote it differently. Now that I am doing it in person I have changed it again. I just cannot believe that my baby is gone. The worst part is going to be when I get home and he is not there to meet me. This was the highest price I could have ever paid to have my dream come true.

As for keeping up on my blog.....well mostly it will depend on if I have access to a computer or not. I can honestly say that I am not as into it as I started. What I am thinking of doing now is to just catch you all up when I get home. That way I can do the photo's easier and I will relive it all over again. Time will tell.

Till when ever...............again.......I am so sorry for the delay. I hope that I have not dissapointed anybody.

Lots of love to you all
Linda
