The Verdict is . . .

Yes!

I am going on the dive trip.

Well . . . it's official! I am going to scuba diving with hammerhead sharks in mid-February. I talked through all of my (highly irrational) fears with Kyle and we reasoned through all of them. I am very excited about the dive and the weekend. It promises to be amazing. We'll be on a little tiny island that is the western most point of Japan. Our friend B is coming on the trip as well and he's a yoga instructor. So, I have visions of waking up and hiking to one of the capes that overlooks the convergence of the China and Philippine Seas and then doing morning yoga with B. Talk about sun salutation!

After the morning yoga session we'll head back t the lodge and enjoy a wonderful Japanese breakfast of green tea, miso soup, rice, and some kind of fish. Before long we'll load up on the boat and out to the open sea!

Wow! I am so excited and a bit anxious. I'll keep you posted with pictures and video once we return. If you are bored and would like to do a little websurfing go to YouTube and search Yonaguni hammerhead sharks. There are a few videos out there.
