One Week Ago

Vacations come and go so quickly. Today was a return to reality and a mountain of work on my desk. I would catch myself in daydream thinking back to where we were and what we were doing one week ago. The temps were in the mid 80's with a gently blowing breeze as we strolled along the streets of Key West FL. The liberation of being on vacation lightened our mood and all thoughts of work and responsibilities back home quickly disappeared.

Doughboy and I walked along historic Duval Street stopping to window shop or catch a cool drink. We sipped on a margarita at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville and another at Hog's Breath Saloon. {sigh} We even hopped aboard the Conch Train as it wound around through narrow streets and historic neighborhoods for more than an hour. It was the perfect day...and a perfect beginning to our week-long cruise.





P.S. To all my bloggy friends, I have not forgotten you. I will visit soon...after I finish unpacking and getting through my mountain of laundry. Thanks for being patient with me...

Sigh...I can't believe I missed out on all of the fun. I'm soooo on board for the next one though. I'm sure Jason won't mind that I leave him behind with our 3 kids:)

For those that keep are interested, Key West was a blast (having something to do with the booze companionship I suspect. Grand Caymen is nothing but a big sandbar with 500 banks, a few stingrays, and a rum cake factory. Ho hum. Jamaica has phenomenal natural beauty that is totally overpowered by obnoxious street vendors and aggressive beggers. Every island has T-shirts, sun, and turquoise blue water sand but most can contain their treatment of tourists to civility. Jamaica apparently cannot. My advice, skip Jamaica til they grow up.
