    I always thought the one at the Polynesian would be fun. Ohana, I think it's called. Wife wants to do Tea with Mary Poppins. She's a bigger nerd for her than my kids. Cinderella's Castle is a decent one. Just having a meal in the castle is kind of cool. Some of the princesses are hot. 

    The main thing is take some time to get you some beers and drinks at Epcot and Hollywood Studios. I mean you're treating your kids. Treat yourself too. That's why I like Biergarten. You can get some nice German beers in a fun setting. Mexico has good tequila and margaritas. England has English pubs. France and Italy have wines. There are some spots at MK you can get beer and wine though it's limited. The new Star Wars Land has Star Wars specific drinks. Why not grab one if you're about to stand in a 3 hour line to ride the Millenium Falcon?

    Ohana is great, easy to get to with the monorail, good food served like a Brazilian steakhouse. Ongoing entertainment for the kids that isn't too over the top to be annoying. Basically they have a "Polynesian" person walking around with a ukulele leading the kids in hula dances.

    I have heard that it is booked up far in advance all the time.

    With this thing moving South, guess I’m going to fly down this weekend and make sure everything is buttoned up at the house and get back out before it cranks up. I was planning on going in two weeks and making sure everything was clear after renovations were complete, but it is what it is. Should be good on the West Coast, but we left things out that probably need to be put up and/or locked down.

    Brew - where are you on the west coast?

    Night Court is worth it for Dan Fielding and Markie Post’s tits. Bull is pretty good, too. Harry Anderson is actually the straight man.

    Just don’t get attached to the elderly female bailiffs.

    MTM is a classic, just remember this stuff is 40+ years old, so it may not all translate, or a comic theme may seem familiar... that’s because others have stolen it. 

    Both Bob Newhart series are excellent.

    I’m rewatching Cheers right now, Coach just died and Woody has entered the picture. It’s probably my favorite series of all time. Brilliantly written. I never appreciated her as much as I should have, but Shelley Long killed it. And it’s great to once again enjoy the surprising emergence of Kelsey Grammer, who stole so many scenes, he became a star in his own right.

    So, if you haven’t watched Cheers, that would be my next move.

     

    I am working my way through Cheers now as well. Holds up incredibly well. Also I am watching with a bit of a different perspective now as the first time I watched I was too young to be in a bar. Its is a commitment, 11 seasons with at least 22 episodes per season.

    Are you saying I can pay for and pass the classroom part tests online on my own, then take that to any place that does "check out dives" to get certified whenever and whereever I choose?  I would get the basic open water certification doing that and then at a different time I could do the other levels if I wanted? Would that require different online certification, as well as different check out dives? Is the basic and advanced an option to do at one time if I wanted? Because the basic open water cert is a prerequisite to for the advanced, correct? 

    If I did the online part and then waited to do the check out dives where I turned it into a vacation trip, wouldn't that cut into my diving time on my trip a lot by having to do the check out dives there instead of just doing it around here? 

    That's a lot of questions, sorry. 

    Yes you can do all the classroom stuff online through Padi e learning then schedule your dives with a PADI dive center whenever you want. If I remember right you get 1 year access to learn and complete everything including dives. 

    Yes you can get your open water (basic) this way and do other levels on line later as well at you own pace, you can roll right into advanced open water from open water. Open water requires 4 dives, over 2 days. You can do 3 dives a day max. Advanced requires 5 specialties - deep, navigation and 3 of your choice. All are fun dives, classroom is not as intense for these as open water. 

     

    Regarding cutting into vacation time, the skills part of a dive typically take 10-15 minutes and the a good instructor will spend the rest of a dive swimming around.

     

    let me know if you have any other questions 

  6. I am an instructor (used to work for a shop in Houston) and I would say get the advanced level at least allows you a little more freedom and the additional training is valuable - I always recommend if people are going to dive a lot that they go up to rescue diver. 

    The best way to get certified is to do the online book work and then do your check out dives somewhere other than lake travis or quarry in Texas - the best place to dive in Texas is probably blue lagoon in/near Huntsville (it has the best visability). as some one mentioned before the dives in Travis suck do your check out dives in the Keys or the Caribbean is a lot easier and more enjoyable. The PADI open water dives are a little more involved than the advanced dives but they are all not too bad and if you have a good instructor they can be a lot of fun. The advance dives are great

    Also most scuba shops are going to make you buy mask, fins and snorkel which adds to the cost (and if you don't like it you are stuck with them) if you do it with a resort or dive boat operator they will often rent or give you that equipment to use.

    I live in SW Florida, if you have any questions about the area.

    Not exactly a pet peeve, but I always chuckle when the actor pretends to be playing a video game.  The constant button mashing makes me wonder what the hell game they are playing.
