vacation dreams

During my time down south, I spent a couple of weeks in Honduras, learning, among other things, to scuba dive. Sadly, I haven't diven ;) since then. I think this winter, I'd like to remedy that, and combine the remedy with a remedy for the midwinter blahs. So I'm thinking about a tropical vacation sometime in Februaryish. If I go by myself, I'll likely shoot to head back to Roatan, where I learned scuba, as it's an inexpensive, beautiful place to dive, and I liked the shop where I learned, but if other folks would like to join me, I'm open to suggestions of other spots.

Which leads to the question:

Any interest in joining me for a midwinter tropical vacation where at least some diving will be done? Say, oh, Februaryish?

God, I hate Florida. I thought it was just Ft. Lauderdale, but it turns out it applies to Orlando, too. Who the hell holds a business conference in the Universal Studios complex, anyway?

Especially touching are the shuttle arrangements that take 2 hours to get from airport to hotel (normally a 20 minute cab ride).

Yes, I took a cab.
