Marty-
I checked out your exwifes' website, as well as a few others, about Buck Island, and was hoping you could tell me a little bit more about it. I've been to Jost, The Caves at Norman, and The Baths. So what makes Buck Island "The Topper"? We come back down in October and are looking for a new excursion. Maybe Willie T's...?
Thanks for any input-

MJ

Well, you can NEVER go wrong with the Willie T! But what makes my ex's trip so awesomely cool is the fact that you are driving your very own underwater motorscooter! Your head stays dray, you can reach up and wipe your face or grab your camera for a picture and you're just cruising along on a scooter underwater! What a hoot! I should have stayed ,married to her just so I could get free rides! Haha! That www.bossvi.com is the happenin' thing to do! A GREAT way to spend 4 hours, IMHO.

Thanks for the quick reply, Marty. I tried your ex's website, and it was in Spanish. Did I try the right place?

How much does a tour cost? The website does not say.

I've been divorced for over a year, so I'm not quite tuned in to their daily practices...send her an e-mail or give a call and I'm sure she'd be happy to share the costs with you...

I worked for Andy for about a year. I think I may have used my pocket knife once, but the rest of the time I used his tools. I know that the majority of other employees had their own tools, but my job was a little different than the rest of the employees...I was a driver, mechanic, Gopher, etc., but I did do a lot of the actual work, too...I was kinda like Andy's assistant, ya know? And, yeah, his work load is always constant...or sometimes TOO much! Haha! He's got a very well respected business.

I've been down here over ten years...running from my 5th DUI in the States is what got me here...so I came to where drinking and driving is legal! (Who says us alcoholics aren't very smart??) Since then, I have quit drinking, joined AA, cleared up legal problem, etc., but the islands are now my home. I have to travel to the States for work frequently (I sell medical equipment and supplies to our hospitals and doctors here), so I go to Nashville, Miami, Puerto Rico, etc. and I get to eat at places like Burger King and Taco Bell, Yay! But other than that, NOPE! Don't miss the U.S. at all. Nothing against it for you folks from there, but I never want to live there again...too much daily stress and strife going on up there! Everyone is so wrapped up in their little worlds that they aren't friendly to each other, road rage everywhere, speeding and honking and people yelling, pushing, treating other humans like sh*t....it's not the place for me any longer...I get the feeling that when I am up there that I am all alone, ya know? Everyone is so wrapped up in themselves that they kind of exude an attitude of not caring for other people at all...JMPO, mind you.
