When we first arrived
here, I was afraid we had planned too long a stay. Now, as I sit here on this
final evening in paradise, I am feeling as if it was not nearly long enough.
Such is life!
We had a very nice
day at Maho, where we saw two stingrays and a big group of flying fish. I tried
to take a video of the fish but it is pretty hard to see. To be honest, I did
not know what they were called so I put “jumping fish Caribbean” into Google
and was able to read about them. We live and we learn.
A funny thought
occurred to us today. On a number of occasions, Barry has run out to the car to
retrieve oxygen cylinders for me. Carrying that oxygen around on a Caribbean
island may give the impression that he is on his way to a dive (although divers
usually have much larger tanks). This got us to thinking that maybe I should be
walking around in a wet suit looking like I am about to go on a dive: what
better way make supplemental oxygen look cool?
We are not especially
looking forward to returning to the cold. We left our coats and boots behind so
leaving the airport to get into a taxi will not be fun. But I cannot complain.
It really has been a fabulous, warm, fun, and relaxing ten days. We are grateful that we were able to return to
this breathtaking place.
We have long been
planning to drive up to Sharon this Friday, but the weather does not look like
it will be cooperating with those plans. If not on Friday, we are hoping to
drive up on Sunday morning. Barry will need to return to New York for Tuesday
through Thursday but I may just stay the entire week, since the children have
February vacation.
Keep the warm and
sunny thoughts coming!
Love,
Rebecca
