Artificial reefs
Thirty-two students from the Paquera High School, in the Nicoya Peninsula, built 90 artificial reefs that now lie on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in Camaron Bay, Gulf of Nicoya. Through this effort, the students aim at fighting the deterioration of natural reefs in the area and to generate information for future scientific research there. Also, the project is aimed at teaching the youngsters about the marine ecosystems that develop around reefs. Both students and teachers agree that the project has been an excellent experience, while it represents a major contribution to the preservation of marine life in the Gulf, which has been a mainstay of the economy of the area and, in no little degree, of Costa Rica.
...The resorts and dive sites are located south of the hurricane line and Costa Rica has not experienced a hurricane during the past 100 years. When is the best time to dive in Costa Rica? Whenever you can get here! Bill Beards Costa Rica

Tahiti Meals

Tahiti and her islands, Travel Tips
It is quite expensive in Tahiti for meals. For example, Breakfast is about $25 per person, $30 for Lunch and about $50-$60 for Dinner. Suprisingly, wine is not that expensive and sometimes cheaper by the glass than it is in the states.
I recommend you purchase meal plans on most islands, except in Moorea. There are so many Restaurants to choose from on Moorea. Right near the Moorea Pearl Resort, with in walking distance, is a local grocery store. You can stock up on fruit ($8/grape bunch) and bread for a light lunch or breakfast. Moorea also offers Te Honu Iti and Le Cocotier for French cuisine, Alfedo's for Italian and Le Mahogany for Chinese.
Bora Bora offers excellent dining in a unique atmosphere. Bloody Mary's, almost an institution on the island, is a bar and restaurant that has seen many international celebrities walk throught its doors. La Bounty serves excellent pizza and Ta Manuata is famous for its fresh tuna dishes served with vanilla, pineapple or coconut sauces.
Upon my return to Tahiti in April, I will give you a review of Bloody Mary's!

Please read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to referto it someday. A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in hiscompany.1 . The next time you order checks have only your initials(instead of first name) and last name put on them. If someone takes yourcheckbook, they will not know if you sign your checks with just yourinitials or your first name, but your bank will know how you sign yourchecks.2. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put "PHOTO IDREQUIRED".3. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts,DO NOT put the complete account number on the "For" line. Instead, justput the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of thenumber, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes throughall the check processing channels won't have access to it.4. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone.If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do nothave a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your SS# printed onyour checks. You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have itprinted, anyone can get it.5. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine. Do bothsides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had inyour wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call andcancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a photocopy of mypassport when I travel either here or abroad. We've all heard horrorstories about fraud that's committed on us in stealing a name, address, Social Security number, credit cards.Unfortunately, I, an attorney, have firsthand knowledge because mywallet was stolen last month. Within a week, the thieve(s) ordered anexpensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, hada credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN numberfrom DMV to change my driving record information online, and more. Buthere's some critical information to limit the damage in case this happensto you or someone you know:1. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately.But the key is having the tol! l free numbers and your card numbers handyso you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them.2. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where yourcredit cards, etc., were stolen. This proves to credit providers you werediligent, and this is a first step toward an investigation (if there everis one).But here's what is perhaps most important of all:(I never even thought todo this.)3. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and Social Security number. I had neverheard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me anapplication for credit was made over the Internet in my name. The alertmeans any company that checks your credit knows your information wasstolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.By the time I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after thetheft, all the damage had been done. There are records of all t! he creditchecks initiated by the thieves' purchases, none of which I knew aboutbefore placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done,and the thieves threw my wallet away This weekend (someone turned it in).It seems to have stopped them dead in their tracks.Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet,etc., has been stolen:1) Equifax: 1-800-525-62852) Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-37423) Trans Union: 1-800-680-72894) Social Security Administration (fraud line): 1-800-269-0271We pass along jokes on the Internet; we pass along just abouteverything. But if you are willing to pass this information along, itcould really help someone that you care about.Ellen Keralla, Centennial, CO 80112 720-200-0243 1-800-691-0243Ellen@specialoccasiontravel.com www.specialoccasiontravel.com
