June 2010

Here I am sitting at home thinking about what I need to get before I leave for Mexico and enjoying the sun that has finally decided to appear after 3 weeks of rain. This month will be a little stressful as I am going to Greece for 2 weeks and will have little time when I come back to pack all my stuff for Mexico.
I leave for Greece in 2 days with my boyfriend and we are doing a road trip around the Peloponnese. It was 1997 when I first went to Greece with my family and I don't remember much of what we saw since I was still young. Since we go to Greece every year in the Summer, we always stay at the same place and never really set out to experience the beauty that Greece has to offer. This is why I decided to just take a car and drive to different sights that are interesting to see. I think that it will somehow help me get ready for my experience in Mexico.
I am beginning to feel nervous about the trip, even though it will be a good one. I am afraid to forget something important or that something will go wrong, but it's part of the experience I guess.
Today (June 7th), I began studying the corals. I learned the basics but it'll take time for me to remember all the details and Latin names.
June 28th. I am now back from my trip which was excellent. We are now two days away from my departure for Mexico and I already packed my stuff. My diving gear is all packed and the total weight is of a surprising 23 kilos.
I got to read through the Open Water book to refresh my memory.
