Back!
I’ve been back from the AMAZING Donsol trip (where The Husband and I swam with whale sharks) for nearly 4 days now, and I’ve been meaning to blog about it – really, I have. And I will, I promise – as soon as I kick my deadline’s ass. You see, that’s the downside of going off on holiday in the middle of the month: you almost always come home to a million and one things that you forgot to do with all the excitement of packing and getting ready for the trip . . . on top of all the other things that you haven’t even done yet (it’s mid-month, after all)!
So I’m just dropping a quick note to let you know that no, I haven’t been mistaken for krill and swallowed by a butanding. I’m not only very much alive; I’m also a year older (I celebrated my 28th 25th on the 13th) and hopefully, a tad wiser. And I promise I will blog some more about the trip for the benefit of those who would like to go to Donsol, too, as soon as I get the demands of my employment sorted out for this month and before I have to commence next month’s campaign.
But for now, meet the lovely, (not-so) little fellah that we met on holiday.

Good to hear you had a nice trip
Wow whale sharks are MASSIVE! I might not have the courage to swim with them. They might think I’m a new breed of fish and just eat me whole 
Cheers!
@Bored and Crafty: They’re very docile, whale sharks. They’re filter feeders, so they don’t eat people. Oh, and the guides are awesome. They’ve got all these rules about how you should stay a few meters away, lest you get hit by the tail, and they won’t let you touch ‘em. Really, you’re more in danger of getting hit by someone else’s fins, but that’s another story!
@CouponWebz: They’re about 25 to 50 feet long, on average. And don’t worry, they only eat krill (teeny shrimp) and plankton!
@Dea: Hello, hello! Welcome! I’ll be poking around your blog, too, within the next few days. And you’ll love Donsol. It’s fantastic!
