Okay, I’ve got to admit it - I’ve had enough of this snow thing. Perhaps we are making up for last year’s lack of snow. Just keep thinking warm thoughts and our first trip to Dutch Springs in May.

On that note, I was looking at making my reservation down there. We normally stay at the Residence Inn by the airport. Well, it is no longer a Residence Inn. The hotel was rebranded recently to the Sonesta ES hotel. So for those of you who make the trip down to Bethlehem and like us stay at the Residence Inn, you’ll need to book at the Sonesta ES. I am all set for our first trip down there on May 1 and 2.

Have you ever been to Hawaii? Well, last Thursday night I attended a REEF Fishinar conducted by Amy Lee titled - Snorkeling in Hawaii. It was really a great hour of information on many of the unique reef fish you can observe while either snorkeling or diving in the Hawaiian Islands. Having been there quite a few times, I felt right at home. REEF members can watch the replay of the Fishinar online, and it's free to be a REEF member In case you missed it, the Beneath the Sea Show in New Jersey has been cancelled for 2021. Normally, the show runs in late March. Last year it was postponed and rescheduled for October 2020 which was also cancelled. Because of the uncertainty with the pandemic the show has not rescheduled at this time and will wait to see how things progress before moving forward. I will pass along any updates as they become available.

Who’s ready for Nassau in May? Stay tuned!
