See Jane.... You're getting all thumbs up!!! No problem... It's doable!!!! Hooray!!! Now get that fanny in gear and make those reservations!!!
"Aunt" Debbie (tee hee hee)

Jane - if you could, let me know what you do and how it goes. I also want very much to go back (next winter would be grand!)but the hubby says he'll go only if the little one can go along too (he's 6). I know they'd both LOVE it once there but we've wondered about the snorkeling and what else kids could do if we are out and about during the day. What a great idea though for taking the college-ager. R.

great topic, in june its adult time, but I want to take my 6 year old or 7 i guess next year, the only problem is her entire focus of each and every day is all about playing.

We have an only child and all she wants to do all day is play play play, are there any local kids that hang out that she can spend time with?

Koz,
Bring her THIS year and she can play with Jane's daughter!!!!! I'm so brilliant.
*grinning* I think they're around the same age.
Deb

yup, she is six. and VERY precocious. it was the 4 year old i was more worried about occupying, since he doesnt snorkel, and is a bit more of a baby (don't tell him i told you!). i already checked with a divemaster, they said no problem for a 6 yr old. no scuba, tho. i am dying to take her to shark/ray alley. she is mad that i said she will have to wear a lifevest!!! the only downside of the college cousin is the $$.

jen said her kids played with the locals. hey, kids are kids, right? an only child should be much easier than 2.

So someone said June was adult time - how about early August. A 12 year old and a 9 year old. Snorklelling, they love, but not all the time!

Heidi - get in on this one -

Your wise and amazingly entertaining (and much more attractive sister),
Jen

Your opinion is needed. . .

does anyone know the age for kids for diving??

Padi has a program called "bubble makers" it allows 10 year olds to dive with an instructor. 12 is the age for actual certification. Hope that helps.

I don't have human children but I do have an
older 12-13yr. old maltese!! I would love to
take him with me next time...does anyone have
any info. re: hand carrying(case) on board
the plane...Continental or American, Tropic
and what about the condos any problems there?
He has all his shots, etc. and are there
specials papers he'll need to get into the
country...he's neutered..????
