Back from Pohnpei

Hello All:

First off - I have updated my PBASE site with Pohnpei 07 and the Boat Trip on Kwaj.

Well the vacation was very relaxing and needed.. Here's when on:

Left on Thursday and arrived in Pohnpei.. Got a bit situated and relaxed and whatnot. On Friday, we went down to the Carving Village and I watched some of the guys carve some stuffs out of a tree trunk (it was pretty cool to watch), though we didn't stay long, I would have stayed there the whole day to watch them from start to end.. I should have taken some pictures of them.. but didn't have my camera on me. Afterwards, we went out to eat and then walked a bit more. Went by Palm Terrace to pick up some t-shirts and then headed back to the hotel (Village). Relaxed the rest of the day. This brings us to Saturday. Saturday was our dive trip. 2 trips. I went on the first dive and I noticed that I couldn't clear my ears when I was going down, but it seemed like the dude that was guiding us was wanting me to "hurry up" and come down.. So, I was able to clear my ears a bit, but it seemed like it didn't work to well. I saw a couple of sharks and all while we went diving (80ft). That was cool.. I also saw some pretty cool looking fishes too. Anyways.. we were coming up from the dive and my ears are popping and we must have came up too quickily because there was alittle bit of blood around my nose (it happens when you come up to quickily and the capillaries had busted.. so that what happens.. Anways, I got back into the boat and I felt pretty disoriented and all. It kinda sucks.. My ears were still plugged up. Well, I decided not to go on the second dive because of this, and thank god that I didn't.. I'll explain more later on. Sunday morning comes around and sure enough, I'm sick. Head-ache, congested, ears still plugged up, fever.. Not a fun time for SarBear. I just stayed in and sleep and tried to get better before the flight on Monday. Monday comes around and I didn't feel better at all. I stayed over there at Cowboy and Lexy's place that night and. to make a long story short.. I'm still not feeling better. The day before and yesterday, I stayed up for over 24 hours and I'm feeling it now! Went to the doc yesterday and I'm on meds now because of the congestion and the ears... Can't go diving, swimming or snorkling until my ears are better.

Pohnpei was a fun trip and all, though I did get sick at the end of it. Wish David was with us. I had thought about him when I was looking over the gazebo at breakfast and stuffs.. maybe next year we'll be able to go again together.

Moving on.. I'm still not feeling all that great.. I'm so tired.. I could probably go to sleep right now, but I doubt that my boss would like that.. but I think they would understand... Plus.. it's raining.. and that makes me even more sleepier... blah.. maybe i'll take a half day.. i dont know..

Been talking to David lately.. He's doing good. Real proud of him on posting :) Way to go honey! Only 37 more days till I get to see him. I am getting so excited. I can't wait to wrap my arms around him and give him a big ol' kiss. Yeah, Yeah, I'm sure you guys are saying "stop with the mushy stuff".. Well Blah to you! =D

Well other than that. I'm feeling pretty crappy.. so.. I think I'm gonna stop this and possibly go home.. I feel like crap and go figure.. tomorrow is my birthday (June 1st)... bah..

I'll post when I get to feeling better.
