Well, this is my last day here hanging around on the beach, watching sunsets, and generally thinking that the world is a great place. In about 24 hours I’ll be heading back to Colombo and to the flight that will take me back to reality. In the last six days I’m come to really understand why some people like to go to a resort for their vacation. Where I am at is by no means a resort, but it’s the closest thing that I have come to in my life. I sleep, eat, and relax at the hotel, the beach I swim at is in front of the hotel, I guess that my last week was just like being at resort.

I really don’t have much to do today except to plan my taxi ride to Colombo for tomorrow, maybe get some souvenirs, and drop of the dive videos to the dive center. Speaking of that, have you ever been embarrassed of something that you did that you wish you could just file as, “oh well, nobody will remember me?” That’s what has been going on in my head about screwing up on the dive yesterday. The only problem is, is that they will have a video of me “screwing up” by going through my air so quickly. It’s not really a major screw up, but having it rattle around in my head for the last day, I have blown it into a major issue.

One last thing about diving, I really had a fun time. Although there wasn’t a lot of sea life, the water was really clear, and most of all I didn’t have any problems with my ear(s) on the second dive, and that is saying a lot. It pretty much means that I can go diving now when I want… well, I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but at least I know that diving is a realistic possibility from now on.
