barnismom Posted August 13, 2012 #1351 Share Posted August 13, 2012 My favorite cousin from SF also cannot swim also - she tried - I only go into a pool that is not deep and that's in the PHilippines with family at resorts = my SIL's and I chat and stay put -- ha!ha! So that's 3 of us I know of who cannot swim - oh, and my other Japanese friend whom I used to work with - she tried too she said... ha!ha! I think we just need those floater mats, lie on them, drink our foofoo drinks and sail away !! carol Carol, Emmy and I have tried to lay on those floater mats in Labadee but sadly they don't really do the trick when you don't float...instead we would hang onto them and hope the current didn't take us out to sea.

kingsnake57 Posted August 13, 2012 #1352 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have big arms = they won't fit!! ha!ha! I would need them on my ankles too, around my hips, waist , neck...... carol That's funny. I love the water and swim real well, but.......Karen can't swim really at all. Just a little doggy padding. She doesn't like her face in the water either, so I'm on my own when it comes to snorkeling Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsnake57 Posted August 15, 2012 #1356 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Sounds like a plan. Karen gets worried when I go too far out. She knows she couldn't help me if I got in trouble. Last time in Hawaii, we drove 20 minutes across a lava field to a secluded beach. I think there were maybe 1 or 2 people on this entire beach. I went for a swim, and heard Karen yelling my name. She was scared because I had gone beyond her comfort zone. ;) Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctn Posted August 15, 2012 Author #1359 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Love it when we talk about Food = love abalone - used to be cheap when I was a 'child' -- ha!ha! my friend will give us some once in a while as he dives - sooo good - easy to cook = when I crave for it and not available, I have to be satisfied with calamari steaks - not the same, but better than nothing. Narce swims in the lagoons on Oahu as it's too crowded in Waikiki and ala-moana - it's more peaceful too - not a lot of folks, just the one who stay at the Marriotts there and some locals who are not working - never crowded ... good place for me to nap!ha!ha!

cctn Posted August 16, 2012 Author #1362 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I don't think we have ever had Thanksgiving in Hawaii - we have been there during Halloween and Easter many times - It'll be warm during your Thanksgiving, that'll be one thing for sure.
