Saturday.....

 I left the Isle of Roatan this morning with mixed feelings. The good, I am going home to see my family that I miss dearly.. The Bad, I'm leaving an island paradise with great friends and the great guests at Coco View Resort. I will remember all of the lessons from my internship, and all of the people who cheered me on, and congratulated me when I achieved dive master.
 I an now sitting in Atlanta at the airport waiting for my flight back to PA. DawnAnn and Sarah will be waiting for me at the airport when I arrive. I can't wait for the hugs that I have missed. Can you ever actually make up for the lost ones?

 We have some close friends coming over tomorrow to celebrate my accomplishment, and also my buddy John, who is joining us in our 40's!

 I would first like to thank DawnAnn and Sarah, for allowing me the time to pursue a passion. You'll never know what it has meant to me.
 I would like to also thank Patty and Alejandra at Dockside Dive Center. Your skills and dedication to doing it right are the only way to go! Throughout my career, I will be grateful for your instruction, professionalism, and friendship.
 Third, Greg. We had a blast. I couldn't have asked for a better "partner in crime". I look forward to diving together in our future.

 And last, Mitch and Deb, the managers at Coco View, Thanks for the hospitality you've shown us interns. The owners should know that the resort is in great hands. Keep up the great work!
