Happy 30th Birthday to me!

Semporna, Malaysia
May 15
The big 3-0.

During our first day of diving, our dive master found out that my 30th birthday would be in a few days. He said that a party had already been planned for that day for two of the employees who were completing their dive master certification. He also said that I should stick around and the party could also be for my birthday!!! Staci and I really hadn’t planned on spending so many days in Semporna, but once I decided to do my underwater photography class and the extra night dive, it worked out to be able to celebrate my birthday with them.

After spending several days diving with Scuba Junkie, I was lucky enough to have made many friends, both at the dive shop and other travelers. I’m so glad I stayed because we all had a wonderful time celebrating. Of course, I missed spending the time with family and friends, but it was a birthday party that will not quickly be forgotten.

(Sorry, no pictures. I’m still mourning the loss of my old camera so I haven’t bought a new one. And even if I did….what happens at a 30th birthday party in Malaysia, stays in Malaysia.)
