So it has occurred to me that I never finished my series of posts about our trip to Saba. I believe I left off at the part where I was going to show you my most favorite picture from the trip. But first, you need the backstory.
(By the way, please check this out. [...]
Continuing with the Saba stories…
So you all know I love diving. If I could live permanently underwater, I would (on a reef, that is). There’s absolutely nothing like descending slowly down to a vibrant underwater city of creatures. You feel almost weightless in a giant blue room, and if you’re on a [...]
Well, I guess it’s about time I started writing about our trip to Saba. If you need a recap, try reading the old posts under the “Saba” category over there on the sidebar. I’ll try not to ramble too much, but I’ll definitely have to break this up into multiple posts. I [...]
Guess where we’re going tomorrow? Saba, baby! First vacation either one of us have had in a whole YEAR. We haven’t been out of Atlanta except to go to Augusta in an ENTIRE YEAR, people. So I’m getting more excited by the minute. Have I finished all of my presentation [...]
So Josh and I leave for Saba next Saturday (or “Caturday,” as we call it at our house. We’re weird like that). I gotta say, I’m trying really hard not to freak the heck right on out. I haven’t written any sort of presentation in two years. I’ve hardly even thought [...]
Honeymoon pictures are up. Click here.
And Gallery 2 sucks, by the way. Can I get an amen?
3 days in a row of posting!
I have seriously been a walking blob of misery for the past three days. Josh had some viraly cold thing over the weekend that he was kind enough to pass on to me. It came complete with a fever, mega sore throat, and the feeling that every opening on [...]
I have seriously been a walking blob of misery for the past two days. Josh had some viraly cold thing over the weekend that he was kind enough to pass on to me. It came complete with a fever, mega sore throat, and the feeling that every opening on my head had been stuffed full [...]
Sorry for the delay between Saba Stories. The Management (that would be me) has received complaints that my last Saba Story was sad and/or whiny. Yeah, yeah, nobody asked you. Just kidding. Anyway, maybe this one will be more uplifting.
Tuesday. It rained all morning, but by afternoon it had stopped enough to go for a [...]

I finished telling you about the Sunday of our honeymoon. Monday, Josh learned to scuba dive. He was taking a PADI mini-course that didn’t fully certify him but would allow him to become fully certified after a short refresher course later on. He spent Monday in the Iris House’s oh-so-tiny pool with his instructor Giovanna [...]
As promised, the continuation of our honeymoon saga.
When we arrived in Windwardside (the town in Saba in which we were staying), Marylene was there to meet us. Marylene is the manager of the Iris House (that was a link. My link color sucks, so until I change it, I will give you a written [...]
So I’ve been holding out on posting about Saba until I’m at home because all of my pictures are on our computer there. But I never seem to feel like posting when I get home after work, so I guess I’ll post some more, sans pictures, and then maybe do a big picture post after [...]
Time to continue the Saba Saga.
When we arrived in Windwardside (the town in Saba in which we were staying), Marylene was there to meet us. Marylene is the manager of the Iris House. That’s where we stayed all week. Here’s a picture to make this entry flashier:
Cute, right? No air conditioner, completely open-air. There was [...]
An addendum to the previous entry:
This Wikipedia article about Saba’s “Bar With a Runway”
An excerpt: “Some aviation experts are of the general opinion that the airport is one of the most dangerous in the world, despite the fact that no major tragedies have happened at the facility….It is flanked on one side by high hills, [...]
[I just walked past the autoclave room here on 5th floor NSC, and one of the autoclaves is apparently unhappy about something. It is beeping EXACTLY like the beep when one does not push a certain button on a certain island. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about it.]So the location [...]
So the location of our honeymoon was supposed to be a secret to me until the day we left (Josh’s idea). You know the story of how I found out (see Josh’s blog). Now, most people have never heard of Saba, and you’re probably wondering how we found out about it. About two years [...]
