Snorkeling Vacations
Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean are popular locations for snorkeling vacations, along with Australia and Bali.
Bali is known for its temples and volcanoes. Rich in culture and mythology, a world of sensory delights is opened to travelers of all ages. The island boasts of mountain streams and beaches lined with palm trees where Technicolor fish, including the kingfisher are in abundance. There are also tropical retreats famous for their spas, cuisine and pools.
The Ayung River in Bali is located amidst a rain forest and surrounded by teak trees.
The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is one of the most accessible reefs offering snorkeling opportunities with many guided tours available.
Many of the day trips take place at the inter-reef islands like Michaelmas Cay, Green Island and Fitzroy Islands.
Some tours offer a chance to simply walk onto a beach and into the water instead of jumping from a boat. Resting buoys are placed a distance from each other, giving the tourists a chance to come up and rest during their tour.
Float coats, designed to give extra buoyancy are also available. Many of the sites in the Reef are very shallow with warm water.
The requisites for these snorkeling vacations are medical certificate, proof of identity, sunscreen, hat and protective t-shirts, preferably Lycra, to be used while snorkeling. Water should be kept handy to ward off dehydration while playing under the hot tropical sun..

Ultralight Backpacking - Testing Skills
On Lake Michigan, at the end of the Stonington Peninsula, there's a stretch of empty beach. Part of the Hiawatha National Forest, it's framed on either side by private property, with no easy access. To walk on the beach, however, is legal. Past the last cabin, the public land starts, and goes for six or seven miles. This is where I would test my ultralight backpacking skills and gear.I hiked a few miles the first day and explored the woods, where I ate wild blueberries for an hour.
Then I set up camp behind a small ridge on the beach. I collected dry grass along the edge of the forest, which made a nice mattress. I pitched my backpacking tarp fairly high, so the breeze would keep out the mosquitos. When camp was set, I went for a swim.This area has many crayfish, which look and taste just like miniature lobsters. After swimming I caught a dozen under the rocks in shallow water, and carried them back to camp in a whipped-cream container I found.
You never know what will...
