MMMM...to swim in those waters. Well, if there weren't any jellyfish around. I'm allergic!
Tracy, we were just snorkelling in the British Virgin Islands and a jellyfish hit my goggles! I 'jumped' over my hubby who was right next to me! lol - it was a very small one, but it still took my by surprise ;-) I saw quite a few that day. This was by far the best snorkelling I've ever done. We were on a tour boat called 'Bad Kitty' out of St. Johns in the US Virgin Islands. It was a great trip if you're ever out there.
