I paid off our vacation in February.

We’ll be spending a week in the Bahamas diving with Stuart Cove. Most people have heard of Stuart Cove or at least seen their work, even if they’re not familiar with the name.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been getting equipment all sorted and squared away. A lot of that has been camera and diving gear. We still need to buy a bit more luggage – which is just one more thing that I’d rather not have to buy or ultimately find a home for when not in use, but it is what it is.

Sometime this week I’ll be setting up all my underwater gear and making sure everything is in tip-top condition. I’ll also have to do the same with all of the dive gear – maybe do that this weekend. I should also give the dive shop a call and see if they have any pool sessions scheduled just to put a few things through their paces. We’re not leaving for another 5 weeks, but I want to make sure that if any problems are encountered that there’s enough time to get them rectified before the trip.

On top of that, if I focus on being in the Caribbean, I’m not focussed on the snow and 40 degree weather.
