1st Impressions - one word.

AWESOME!

Got off the plane yesterday and the temperature was exactly 90 degrees difference from when we left Minnesota. -5 to +85!

Went snorkeling at Boca Catalina this morning. Lots of fish. I would say it rivals Kauai, where we have snorkeled lots. Here are a couple of pics, more to come!

It is a Pentax Optio W30. Not too expensive, I think around $250. It is good up to 10' deep only, though.
