Hi Everyone!
I am so excited about this trip! I will try to answer all your questions. We will be at one of the top reefs in the world! This will be my gift to me for losing weight!

When....i was thinking beginning of May of 2007.... Possibly March if everyone prefers a bit early...but some spring brakes are in March and brings cost up.

The cost will depend on how many people go, but roughly for 1 week at an excellent island resort with ALL meals included, double occupancy....

7 night hotel accommodations
Fish and coral under water ID cards
2 snorkel trips daily by boat with guide in which we can see dolphins
1 dolphin encounter at the resort
Reef ecology lecture and fish ID slide show
Full American meal plan – 3 meals daily
Daily dolphin presentations
Welcome island cocktail and orientation
Tropical picnic on Tabyana Beach
Island Fiesta Night on the Key
Horseback riding
Kayaking and Canoeing
Entrance to Roatan Museum
Airport transfers and airline ticket reconfirmation

And of course time to restore and heal... mini health lectures, discussions, games, and lots of fun!!

All of this for about $1,750-$1,950!
Does not include airfare

Air fare is extra from Houston on Continental, but I can try to get a group discount when I have enough people that sign up. The airfare now is in the $380 area, but don't know what it will be for 2007.

We will need to have a deposit ready for the resort by the end of December or maybe January...they sell out quickly.

It is really one of the best experiences you will ever have!:smilingface
(52): What a great gift to yourself for such hard work losing weight with the help of the band!

Have you looked at the cruise lots are going on in June? It sails from Galveston. You might not get as much participation as you want since there is another event so close to yours.

Yes, I saw that...but there might some people who do not like cruises, but do enjoy the sea and island life. Also i saw that it is quite full and probably not easy to get on the cruise at this point...I was interested but saw there was little space. So far I have receives a couple of possible yes!:)

Thanks!

Just a clarification here on the cruise - there is still space, but only 1-2 rooms at the heavily discounted rate as quoted in the thread. There is plenty of space still available on the ship, though. NOT that I want to take away from this trip; just want to make sure everyone understands!
