2 great dives yesterday, and 1 mediocre dive. The first and third dives were really, really cool. All kinds of aquatic life (incl. lion fish and some morey eels!). We took turns with the underwater camera, but haven't seen the results yet. Our secon dive, we ended up fighting a pretty strong current at the bottom and at the surface, where we endured a rough 200m swim to complete our skills tests and earn our PADI open water certification! Which hopefully means that next time we're on vacation somewhere and want to dive we can just spend a day or two in the water without all the prep time.
We had dinner in Kata Beach last night and headed back to the hotel pretty early. Our ride left the resort at 9:30 am local time, (7:30pm PDT) to head to Phuket airport. It's currently 6:46 pm local (3:46am PDT) at the Hong Kong airport. We are in the midst of a 7 hour layover, our flight to SFO leaves at 12:30am on May 16. We're scheduled to land at 10:30pm on May 15. So, one way of looking at it is that we arrive at SFO before we left HK. Might be kind of a long flight.
I'll try and write a summary post and get some more pics up after we get back to SF. Now to enjoy the wonderful eating and shopping at Hong Kong international airport!
