Interviewing for that open "Director of Ship's Recreation and Entertainment" spot I see...

[/B][/QUOTE]Sounds like the same type of recreational and entertainment job that he has now. Just doesn't have to say "De plane, Boss, de plane" anymore.

Ok...I'll give it a shot...1)10 days fishing in Alaska with my 12-year-old-son! 2)Trying to teach 7th graders the importance of Martin Luther and the Reformation (ugh, and you all think coaches are thick-headed)...3)hmmm - I would live to eat with A-Rod and slip a little somethin-somethin in his drink, just like I did with Griffey, Jr. after he left the Mariners...

Hawks Coach · #35 (**permalink**) Mon May 10, 2004, 01:32pm

Don't even put coaches (BBallCoach aside) in the same category of thickheadedness as the 12-18 y.o. set. That's just wrong! There is nothing that compares to that age group. Thick as a Brick indeed (really don't mind if I sit this one out).

Been to the Grand Cayman....

and its VERY expensive !

if you do go, do stingray city. Best vacation time ever.

O' and if the Coors twins cant make lunch, how about Sean Connery. (yesh the one with the cool voice and of course was 007).

Hawks Coach · #39 (**permalink**) Mon May 10, 2004, 03:23pm

Somehow I don't think a male sex symbol is a viable replacement for a couple of female sexpots, but that's just my guess. If I am looking for the twins, I don't want Sean Connery as a substitute.

TPS2859 · #40 (**permalink**) Mon May 10, 2004, 03:37pm

Hawk,

I do agree. IF the twins cant show up and Sean could,I could learn how to talk in that cool shexy like voice that the ladies love, well then...its all good!

Camron - I wouldn't mind having dinner with you under the following two conditions:

1) You're buying
2) We don't eat at the snack bar at The Hoop in Beaverton

Be aware that there are two stingray city's. One is about 12' deep; the other, 3-4'. The former is frequented mostly by Scuba operators and the latter by snorkelers (cruise ship tours). The former is uncrowded (couple dozen people) and a blast...particularly if you scuba. The latter is CROWDED with up to hundreds of people competing for the stingrays...even saw and played with a Green Moray eel.

Of course the best activities on Grand Cayman are found in deeper waters.

We were there last summer for 7 days of diving...4 out of East End (the name of the community...on the southeast corner of the island) ad 3 out of Georgetown (actually launched out of the north sound for north wall dives). Dove with 4 different dive operations: Cayman Dive Lodge, Divers Down, Red Baron, and Red Sail Sports. Best by far was the Cayman Dive Lodge. Worst, RedSail Sports...no service, lazy, not very friendly. Best on the west end was Divers Down. Red Baron was nice but boats were very small....crowded with 8.

I've got some of my photos at Camron's Grand Cayman Photos. The last 10-15 of them are Stingray City.

I'm rooming with my dad, who snores at about the decible level of a jet engine. So sleep is scarce. Since I'm up and out of the cabin before anything is happening on the ship, I can check in here.

I really wanted to do the stingray thing, but the whole family is going, and the oldest ones and youngest ones weren't excited about it. So maybe next time. I'll have to get SCUBA certified first, I guess. Pictures were great Camron.

No job openings on the ship. Ah, I see Grand Cayman off the port now!

Take one of the "Discover Scuba" courses. They teach you on the spot and take you on a guided dive. It's a great intro to diving. It's usually well done (safe, etc.). Most islands have one. By the time you get this though, you'll probably be past Cayman. If you're heading to Cozumel next, they have them...that's where my wife and I took the discover scuba course.

You're rooming with your Dad? Does he think you are not old enough (or tall enough) to travel by yourself?

I hope you and your Dad spend some quality time together. I never had that chance. I was 7 when my dad walked out and I never saw him again. My 2 sons think they see me way too much!
