We ended up sleeping in until about 10am this morning, which may have been a waste of a morning, but we needed some sleep! We took advantage of the breakfast buffet (by far our favorite meal every day! LOVE breakfast foods!) and waited to get aboard the boat that had to take us to the dock.

I am merely posting it to show you what a Whale Shark looks like.*** If it is possible to have the best experience of your life and the worst experience of your life at the same time, that is what today was.
