It's not often I'm excited about a trip. I attribute it to being older, having more experiences in life and and traveling to a fair amount of different destinations.
So a trip is usually just a welcomed getaway or for a specific reason be it visit friends, shopping etc.
But I'm actually excited about Komodo. After the diving re-fresher course yesterday, Jon the Diver, Paul & I headed to Global Scuba in 1U to look at gear.
I don't need a wetsuit since I was so enthusiastic (despite the fear) that I bought it even during my Scuba Discovery Course. And I do have a mask. But they are both black and I'd like to have some distinguishing factor when all suited up under water.
Somehow most dive gear are in black, yellow and sometimes purple. And not very nice shades of those colours either. Boring.
I'm really looking forward to the baby pink fins and mask which I've ordered and should be collecting next week.
Before a trip, I love to prepare for it. Like learning a new language when you're going to a country where English is not the primary language.
So when it comes to diving, I guess it's buying gear since i can't possibly learn to talk Fish.
Tho I'd like to try and swim like a dolphin and talk to them less I get to see one in Komodo.

Lucky you. Trip sounds very exotic and exciting. Bt I wonder what its like being on a tiny boat for several days with several other people. Recipe for interesting times or cat fights? :)
I was worried about that too but the boat is not tiny at all and there'll only be 8 divers excluding the crew so I'm sure it'll be fine. Will post up a pic of the boat later. :D I'm so excited!
