Recipe for a Perfect Caribbean Vacation

Image
By
Ingredients:

 1 awesome divemaster (Mac) who also happens to be a rock 'n roll drummer


 6 days of sunshine with 85 degree weather


countless palm trees
1 hotel swimming pool
1 poolside restaurant
3 beach chairs
3 Musketeers (John, Glo and me)

 Directions:

 1.  Wake up at 7:30 each morning.  Throw on swimsuit, and head down to hotel breakfast.  Grab a quick bite to eat before meeting Mac at the dock.

2.  Board Saffron, and sail for ten minutes to one of 365 diving sites off Grand Cayman island.

3.  Dive twice, seeing the most amazing things--turtles, eels, neon-colored fish, stingrays, jellyfish.  Be reminded that a greater being (than a Big Bang) created this world, both above the water and under it.
We found this unusual creature back on the boat :-)

 4.  Return to the hotel, walk directly to the pool, jump in.

5.  Hop five feet out of the pool, sit down at a table, and order lunch.  While lunch is being prepared, jump back in the pool.

 6.  Eat.

 7.  Head over to the beach chairs and sleep the afternoon away.






8.  Wake up.  

 9.  Shower.

10.  Eat dinner.
A newly renovated Hard Rock Cafe!  Good thing we went here our last night, because I would have been eating here EVERY night!
11.  Watch a movie.  
12.  Sleep.
13.  Repeat.

SURPRISE!!

By
When the pizza guy came to the door last night, here's what John saw: It took a few seconds for John to process who the pizza delivery man was, but when he did, he was incredibly happy (and couldn't stop saying "heeeeyyyyy....".  It was Jared Moran, John's best friend. And me, I just knelt down, right then and there, and began repenting of all the lies that I have told over the last four months, hiding this most amazing surprise :-)  I told Sarah the other day that I was glad to see the light at the end of the falsehood tunnel, because if I kept this up much longer, I was destined to end up in liars' hell... Jared ran the Air Force marathon with John last year.  It was his first marathon, and from what he told us, his last.  However, he called in June and said he was coming again, but I was supposed to keep it a surprise from John.  I'm not sure what changed his mind, but we sure are glad he did.  John hates runnings marathons alone, and ther...

Getting Hannie Home

By
Knowing that Hannah was leaving on her mission to Ecuador February 7, I needed to get Hannie home.  To her credit, she took care of mostly everything out in Utah, including finding someone to buy her apartment contract.  When I got there, it was all about driving her around so she could take care of last minute things (selling back her books, mailing back a rented book, turning in her work stuff at the library), but really it was about some good old girl time too.  Eating at some of Provo's great eateries and buying cupcakes. Kitty, sampling some of the goods. Ah cupcakes.  Sweet Tooth Fairy bakery has become a tradition every time I visit Utah.  Seriously, they sell the most delicious cupcakes and cookies there.  It made sense to me to buy eight cupcakes for the two of us for a three day drive home.  Little did I know... One of the things that I have done too many times to count now is helping my college-age kids move in and out of their apart...

A Quick Trip to Mackinac Island

By
 Allow me a pity party for a paragraph.  As much as John is earning buckets of money for us and for our retirement, his weekend calls have been infringing on our time together.  Like I said, it's a complete pity party, because my logical mind reminds me that I should be happy he's making so much money, but my heart feels rather lonely at times as I reminisce about trips we have taken that we don't have time to take again. I love John.  I don't need him around all the time, but I find that the best quality time with him is when he doesn't have other distractions like work, and call, and hospital credentialing. Anyway, I guess that was two paragraphs, and I don't need to take it any further than that, because I don't want the body of this blog post to be about me and my loneliness. I've been wanting to go to Mackinac Island for two years now (I can hardly even believe that it's been that long since I was there).  With Lake Michigan getting colder and t...
