New Years' resolution

I think I'll have to take up diving here pretty soon... Greg and Lisa have been out diving 3 out of 4 of the last weekends with their daughter who is visiting them. I was invited to go along but never did because I'm not certified, opting instead for housesitting for them while they were away having fun. Their description of last weekend in Sharm El Sheikh sounds pretty good, so I think in the new year I'll definitely take it up. It'll be relatively easy to burn down to Hurgahada, a 3 hour drive, on Thursday and dive all day Friday, then home Friday night for work on Saturday. I should be able to get certified easily this way and then I'll be free to book some more serious dive trips. I really should have done all this before Bryan and Patti came out for their dive trip and then I could have went with them there, but oh well. Better late than never.

Besides, Jacques-Yves Cousteau rated the Red Sea as his favourite place to dive... even above the Great Barrier. I passed on the Great Barrier, I'd better not pass on the Red Sea. I'm calling it, this is my New Years' resolution.
