Swingin' from trees or swimmin' with fish?
I've been talked out of our Ocho Rios excursion of river tubing from the Spanish bridge for a new "hottest sensation" excursion of canopy soaring.
This URL sorta describes the two excursions, but there's just too many good ones to pick from in Jamaica. I'm definitely going to return someday. I want to spend a whole day at Dunn's Falls.
Now, my next big purchase for the cruise is going to be an underwater camera (I think). I can't find one that I like, and time is quickly running the sand to the bottom of the glass. Actually, there is camera that I'd like, but the Canon EOS-1D is a bit outside the price range of electronics I'm comfortable bringing 15 feet under water.
My second choice was the S2-1S, but they don't have an underwater kit available. And it's not likely that they'll have one in the next two weeks.
My third choice (yes, I'm settling again) is an Olympus C-8080. 8 megapixels and 8x optical zoom. Of course I won't use the zoom underwater (less I forget the inverse squared properties of light and magnification - doi!), but I don't want to bring more than one camera on vacation.
