Hello Everyone...

Guess it is about time that I have come out from lurking on this forum.

My name is Diane but my nickname is "Gecko". Got that nickname because whatever life throws at me, I just keep hanging on!

I have followed Bob a year now and recently had a meet up with him for lunch here in Florida.

I have traveled extensively most of my adult life. The past 17 years has been in RV's but this year I have changed to a van. I am disabled and can't afford having the luxury of two vehicles. My van has almost everything I need except a shower. LOL
My traveling partner is my service dog Diablo (pictured with me).

I will be at the RTR this year and also the Woman's RTR. Hope to gain more ideas and meet new friends.

Yes, I am a certified Divemaster but no longer can dive (per Doctors orders). I have dove just about every Island in the Caribbean, and all through the state of Florida (oceans, rivers and springs). I am just allowed to snorkel now. Not too bad since a friend of mine showed me where to snorkel and get lobsters in the Florida Keys.

I have lots of diving stories but my travel stories are much better I think. Trials and tribulations of traveling from blown tires, being hit by rock slide in Death Valley, breakdown in British Columbia (stuck on the side of the road for 2 1/2 days). LOL

Hope to meet you and others at the RTR.
