I’m finally going to take a well-needed vacation. In just 6 days I’ll be heading south for the beautiful Turks & Caicos Islands to go Scuba Diving. It’s been two years since I’ve been down there and I can’t wait to get wet again!

I just bought a new Canon G11 camera and underwater housing and I’m anxious to try it out. As with all new cameras there is a learning curve. The G11 has tons of settings, from all automatic to all manual. Hopefully by the time I jump in the water, I’ll have mastered, or at least learned enough about all the various features and options, to take some kick-ass photos! Stay tuned, my results will be posted.

Life is Balance Gets Away!

I took a yoga class at Club Getaway wearing my Life is Balance Yoga Tee.

One great way to balance out your life is with exercise. Another is to get away from your daily grind, even if it’s just for a nice long weekend. This past Labor Day Weekend I managed to do both! I spent three glorious days in the Berkshire Mountains of Kent, CT at Club Getaway, a weekend sports resort for adults. It’s like going back to camp! During the course of three days I managed to take a yoga class (wearing my Life is Balance yoga t-shirt of course), play lots of tennis, swim across the lake and hike alongside a waterfall, kayak around the lake and even strap on a regulator and scuba tank and go face to face with an inquisitive fish! All the stress of my daily life disappeared the moment I stepped off the bus from NYC and into the fresh country air! At Club Getaway you can practice your favorite sport or learn something new. There is something for everyone: tennis and mountain biking, hiking and rock climbing, kayaking, trapeze, yoga and fitness classes and much more. The food is terrific and there is never a lack of things to do. There are still a couple of weekends left before they close for the season. So go check it out!

Social Networking

I know it’s been awhile since my last post. I’ve really got to make a point of sitting down to write some every day! I’ve been busy expanding my social networking universe. There are so many like-minded people to meet out there! Scuba Divers and tropic lovers will love these two new sites that I have joined: Tropics Nation is a social network for everyone who loves the tropics! Parrot Heads (Jimmy Buffett fans for those who don’t know) abound at this site. You should come and check it out, and while your there, tell them I sent you and add me (DiveArtist) as a friend!

Another site for scuba divers is DiveBuddy.com. You can view my profile here:DiveArtist at DiveBuddy.com. Join the fun , add me as a friend and tell them I sent you!

These are both great ways to meet new friends and dive buddies.
