Snorkeling lessons - Day 3

Sunday, the 4th, we were awake quite early with all the time zones.  David and I headed to the beach for some Tai Chi.  The girls headed to the pool to swim and sit in the hot pool.  We had been given a huge fruit basket from the hotel, and Trish and Doug had left us lots of other food choices in the room, so we snacked and relaxed.  After lunch, we met Trish and Doug under a huge and beautiful tree by the water for our first gathering.  Here we talked about the week and did our first meditation to call in the dolphins and ask for their assistance for the week.  Then Doug took us out to snorkel in the lagoon.  The hotel had free snorkeling gear as well as surf boards etc., so we headed out to get acquainted with the coral reef and fish.  We saw all kinds of fish from "Finding Nemo", as well as sea cucumber and turtles.  It was great.  The water was like a warm bath, and we loved it.  After snorkeling we went for dinner with Trish and Doug, with our lei's and all.  We finished the evening off with a gathering in the room to talk about our goals and our dreams.  This was a very emotional time, as it was a chance to bring our fears, dreams, and wishes to voice.  We had tears and Michellie was overwhelmed with it all.  We finished off with a video of the dolphins and what to expect through the week.  We were all excited to bring on the swimming!  Also, Larry, our favorite down at the desk, sent up to the room two little dolphins with lei's stuffies for the girls.  The timing was perfect and the connection he made with the girls was awesome.
