Utila in September 2013

Well, we went back to Utila again.......  No matter where else we go, Utila just seems to have a hold on us. This was the 5th time we went and it was still great to go.  It was a huge group of teachers that went this time.... I think almost 30.  We all stayed at different places, so it wasn't too crazy.  We stayed at underwater vision again.  It is nice there with a big sandy spot out front and a dock for jumping off. The staff is nice fort he most part and the rooms are pretty nice.  We do miss diving at Alton's, where we got our first certification, but since the owner sold (a Canadian!), we don't feel bad trying other places.  It was a pretty typical trip.  A day at the private beach at the end of the island, drinks at the dock.  Of course we came home with a few new t-shirts....(4 shots at a bar means you get a free t-shirt... I think TJ has 9 now......).  One highlight was a friend of ours losing her sandal under the dock of one bar and wading around under there to find it. (This was also after she earned one of her t-shirts....)

We didn't get out diving this time unfortunately.... The water visibility wasn't great given that it was September ( I guess it's a bad month for diving here).  

Overall, it was another great trip to Utila.  Although we did miss some friends from last year, it turns out this new crew of people is even more wild.... Maybe a little too wild for us. (We are the old ones now....)
