March 23
Today Annie is due to be at the dive shop at 6:30am for a
deep dive and Paulie will accompany her down to the depths. Only problem is that her itouch is still on
Singapore time and therefore instead of being awakened at 6:00, the alarm goes
off at 5:00am. Paulie and Annie are out
the door and waiting in front of a very dark dive shop at the appointed hour,
only to realize the error of time. They
re-enter the hotel room as everyone has just gotten back to sleep…they tell of their
woes and within another 30 minutes have vanished to return to the dive
shop. The boys and I are only due to
arrive at the dive shop after lunch, so we are free and easy for the
morning. We try to regain some sleep and
then go down to the restaurant for breakfast/lunch around 11:00. Hudson is not feeling well, but we are due to
be at the dive shop and make our way there for the noon departure. I decide to go along with them on the boat
and we are soon off to the Japanese Gardens and Twins dive sites. Once we arrive, they boys get geared up and
they are soon off into the water. The
jump in like pros and soon re-emerge to warm up on the boat. Hudson at this point has taken a turn for the
worse, in fact, he is showing signs of having a pretty serious fever. He opts out of the second dive while Sam and
Ida head back under the water. Once they
are back up, the boat soon returns to shore where poor Hudson limps home and
into bed. We administer some rever
reducing medications and give him whatever creature comforts we can find. We spend the remainder of the afternoon
relaxing as Annie and Paulie will be leaving soon for a night dive. Annie seems very brave and ready for the excursion,
although I don’t know how. It would
totally freak me out to do that, but she and Paulie are really excited. Sam and I have dinner down at the restaurant
and return with Pizza for Hudson. Annie
and Paulie return late and have a dinner for themselves before retiring for the
night.
