I joined a group that's all about exploring the outdoors, and they are going snorkeling in Newport, RI next weekend. I've never been snorkeling, but I love the water, and I've always thought it'd be cool to try it. Plus, if I ever want to actually get my SCUBA certification and get into a steel cage with great white's swimming around me, I figure I should start with the basics first. You know, like learning to swim with fins.
When I went on a cruise in 2005, I wanted to go snorkeling on one of the excursions. However, I was at my heaviest weight then, and I wasn't comfortable with the idea of being the only whale-sized human in the shallows. But now, having lost almost 50lbs, and, I'm sure, being 7 years older, I've got more confidence and more of an "I don't care what you think of me" attitude. Plus, I can move easier and quicker and I have more energy now.
So, yes...snorkeling, here I come! :)
