The day was Friday, May 2nd, and it was 1:00 a.m., Perfectpeds had just finished packing all her dive gear into her suitcase which now weighed 70 lbs. (Mind you I still had the carry-on as well which weighed about 40 lbs.). It was time to try and think about sleep, but there was one more thing that needed to be done….her feet needed some TLC…
Then a little lotion to keep them soft and supple…
Pick out what to wear on the plane… well I am going to warm tropical climate….
Just before falling asleep, I checked my pedi one more time and drifted into dreamland.
2 hours later I awoke to my alarm (3:30 a.m.) and I jumped up ready to start my journey. 6 hours later I was sitting on the balcony of the Hotel Barracuda soaking up the warm rays of the Cozumel sun while a cool ocean breeze caressed my already sweating body.
As the heat intensified, I glanced down and saw the dark blue of the corona umbrella
and thought… hey… that’s exactly what I need right now.

As it turned out, my body was not yet acclimated to the intense heat and so I needed to head inside for some shade and air conditioning…
Each of the next 6 days started and ended the same way… Up at 7:00 am; on boat by 8:30 a.m.; 1st dive 80-100ft – back on boat – ride to a beach – have lunch – back out for 2nd dive 50-70 ft – back on boat – ride to marina arriving somewhere between 2:30-3:30… back at hotel no later than 4:00 p.m. Then the intensive caring for your gear commenced…. Mostly the gear took a shower with me – easiest way to rinse all the salt water off and get me cleaned up as well.
Once it was rinsed well, it had to be brought out on the balcony to dry (it sucks putting wet gear on the next day!)

Once the shower was taken, the gear cleaned and put out to dry, it was time to get ready for dinner…
and figure out what to wear…..
Each day as soon as we got on the boat, our shoes had to be removed in order to keep the boat clean from sand, rocks, dirt… plus being under the water for 2-1/2 hours straight each day wasn’t exactly the best venue for keeping the feet pretty…..As you will see next…
Now I know you have all been wondering what I might look like so I’ve decided to show my face in this post…
Pretty cute, huh? LOL

I thought some might like to see what I saw under there and I apologize to those who prefer not to – let me know if this is something you want to see in the future or if I should just keep it to my feet.

During my last full day there I couldn’t dive, so I had to do a thorough job of cleaning and drying ALL my gear……and once that was done I could head to the beach for what is called my “gas off” day – no diving allowed to allow for nitrogen to be released from the body before flying. This is a very gear intensive sport….
So my only souvenirs from this trip, are mostly underwater pictures that do not show feet (for which I humbly apologize) and due to the many hours spent in close quarters with multiple people on a dive boat every day = my foot pics are limited (for which I humbly apologize … again J) and last but not least…. I got my first tattoo! Of a dolphin.
When we asked how long it would take and they said only a few minutes (oh forgot to tell you – it’s henna tattoo) they forgot to say it could take 30 minutes to dry. Damn that meant having a couple more Sol beers – only problem – I couldn’t sit down for fearing of smudging it.
And then it was time to come home….and now I’m back!

Thanks Ophillia... No need to fear. We are among the lucky who have Wu's men to protect us and keep our feet from harm! Just dream that the head is a kind gentle spirit who only wants to worship at your feet!

Oh and Ophillia -- I'm sure those thoughts are not only in your mind so it won't matter if you try to keep it quiet -- LOL
