    Goats, it would take forever to water my garden jug by jug! I get DH to use the watering can when he will do it, but it really needs a hose. I'm going to do some container gardening on the porch this summer and will have to use the can.

    My DH hooked up a little pump to our koi pond and I can use a hose and water my garden with 'fish water'!

    Roatan was my favorite Port because you can snorkle the live reef right off the beach.No excursion necessary.By the time we got to Cozumel the weather had turned cold so we did not even bother with a beach spent the whole day shopping.Good thing I had a girlfriend with me and not my DH.

    Lisa, was that tournament close to you? More good shots!



    Meece, dumb question probably, but don't the fish miss that water?

    HaHaHa!  To keep our koi healthy we "change" some of the water several times a week.  It takes the level down about 6-10 inches, and we trickle water back in during the night to refill it.  Since the pond is over 4 feet deep, they don't miss the water.  It's amazing how much I can get watered that way.

    Mumito OH MY GOD love that place (Roatan). Brings back so many memories so that I had to write when I saw those pictures... :)

    Thanks.

    Mumito, what wonderful pics, they bring back memories of a cruise dh and I were on a couple of years ago.  Belize and Costa Maya were great.  DH and I went on a tour that was biking and kayaking.  The day was very windy and the waves were quite high. Well, we were thrown out of the kayak and I did not have any upper body strenght to pull myself in.  So it was a bit scary.  We eventually came upon a reef and I was able to pull myself in.  My sister was taking pictures of us the whole time.  The best part was that I did not lose my glass or visor.  What a relief.  We laughed about it once we were on land and the water was warm.  The trip was wonderful and wish I was there right now. 

    I can't wait for spring, this cold and snow is getting to me.

    Hugs to all, Cheryl

    What is that body of water Lisa?



    I soooo want to do a cruise to Caribbean. Gotta figure out a way to get that on my schedule. I figure finding a roommate will be the easy part!

    Joni, I would love nothing more than travelling with you - truly!

    Lisa, my geography so sucks, I should have known that!

    I just posted this picture on another thread thinking I was on this one! Someone had a beach shot so I should be forgiven for posting it there :) I went to a work conference in Laguna Beach, CA yrs ago and my room was right on the Pacific. This was one of the views I had one night. Tough to have to go out of town for work :)

    I so miss my DD#1 living in Monterey, CA, I love the beaches and all the fantastic ocean views.  Plus it was a lot closer to visit than Japan!

    I have been sitting by the fireside all evening trying to stay warm. Just glad I had nowhere to go tonight so I could stay home and stay warm. DD#1 says that the weather there in Japan is just like it is here in North Carolina! Great now I have to pack for both warm and cold weather and I was so hoping to manage with just one suitcase!
