Best
Moments
1-(by far)- Soulkeeper getting on the
plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2-The hotel sooooo much more luxurious and amazing than
my expectations. Far far surpasses what I was thinking
3-the Jacuzzi on our balcony fits two (in bathing suits
of course!)
4-the food is totally delicious and neither of us (since
her airplane ride) has had even a minor tummy ache
5-The weather has been literally perfect
6-I have slept so perfectly (minus one night that the air
conditioner went crazy for a few hours and made loud banging noises)
7-I ventured out and got a little news from home
yesterday and my daughter seems to be adjusting well to her brace
8-Soulkeeper crying at airport for leaving her little
kids for first time and 2 days after saying best week of her life and that she
would easily stay 10 days if we couldJ)) I
knew she would love this!!!
9-Our rose petal bath that our butler prepared on the
balcony for us. I guess he thought we were lesbians!!! We went in it anyways of
course and thought it has a lot less pressure than taking a bath with our husbandsJ
10-The spa!! Totally amazing like paradise….
Funniest
moments (so far)
1-Soulkeeper giving our money and gifts to the wrong
vendor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2-Every black guy on the island telling Soulkeeper she
has the most beautiful lips
3-Every black guy on the island telling her he wants a
picture with her
4(the black guys saying I look like Jennifer Aniston!) Yahoo!
5-We pretending we have any interest in the disco that
starts at midnight just to pretend we are totally young
6- Us getting lost here every which way we turn continuously
7-Me telling Efrain our butler NEVER to call and wake us
up again. EVER!
8-when Soulkeeper “was a real heel” and asked her Hubby
on Facetime how Beauty was (he and my hubby had lunch that day). And I cried bc
I didn’t want any news from home as was too scared. When her Hubby said “was a
bit of drama with Beauty” I cried and cried and cried and Soulkeeper went out
and called my Hubby to make sure all was ok and report back to me.
9- We both joke often that if my Mom was here we would
have a serious sleeping dilemma as beds are way
too small for two people! And she sleeps totally naked every night. I don’t
want to have to spoon my naked friend !!! Ewwww!!!
10-The flipping phone is bathroom that falls off hook every
time we pee. And the clock that has no concept of keeping time.
11-No clock in room. Iphones locked away in vault and no watch certainly
make for a very free trip with no schedule!!
What
we miss from home
1-My MommyL((
She should have been here with us as planned. SO many moments we go through the
day and say..if she was here then….or she would have loved this…We both wish
she were here with usL((((
2-We miss our kids and families. We are although both so
happy however to have their Daddy’s take care of them. So good for us and so
good for them.
3-Absolutely nothing else
Ways
we are soooo similar when travelling
1-Total same rhythm for sleep, rest, sun, shade, food and
fun
2- We both love sleeping in on vacation and not having to
wake up at any time in particular. Most days have been 10 am surprisingly!
3-We both despise the use of IPhone on vacaction and can’t
even stand to pick ours up to take picture even! (We enjoyed a really nice
night though last night of room service and computers and iPhone all evening and
that was great but we are happy to get back to being in the present)
4-We both love wearing no makeup and having greasy hair
5-We both only take about 7 minutes total to get ready
for dinner
6-we both like shade way better than sun except for when
in water
7-We both never run out of things to say to each other
(on vacation or anywhere else for that matter) and we both always tell the
truth
Ways
we are sooo different on vacation
1-She loves talking to all strangers and locals on the
trip and I am thrilled not to utter a word unless really in the mood and I
really, really like the person
2-Soulkeeper loves hearing about other people’s kids and
I am very happy to not talk about their kids all week! (only hers and mine all day
long)
3-Soulkeeper likes going to the going to the gym. I don’t
on vacation. Even at home…do it but can’t say I like it. She adores it.
4-I read every single moment I can steal. I read and read
and read. Soulkeeper likes reading but doesn’t read much on vacation
5-She went on an excursion at 8am today for the whole day
on and non-air-conditioned jeep in the jungles and mountains to see the locals and
the schools and the caves and see the locals dance and sing. I am going at
11:30am on a Dr Fish Spa Boat where you get 7 spa treatments and fish in the
ocean eat the skin off your feet to make them soft.
6-She will speak to everybody on her excursion today. My
plan is to speak to nobody. Bliss for us both.
7-She has all natural organic products. I have whatever I
can find and works most efficiently and quickly
8-She forgets her beach bag, purse, waterproof sunscreen
and t-shirt in Canada and I even have a sewing kit packed just in case (which
we used BTW!) and have two beach bags in case she forgot hers (she did)
9-Her vacation vibe is friendly, interested and keen.
Mine is please leave me alone so I can read as much as possible (except for
talking to her and a little our butler)
PS:In Europe I am totally different and love the
exploration and locals and culture and people. Not at the beach-I hibernate
completely.
Things
to still look forward to:
1-Our individual excursions
today
2-Casino tonight and my lucky streak
3-Our photo shoot at 10am on the beach. First hair and
makeup of the week
4-Our second bargained spa bali bed and hydro circuit
relaxation that we bargained for Sunday night for free
5-Everything in between all of that
Things
we will never forget from this vacation
1-the precious time we had the strength to carve out for
ourselves
2-The way that I think she has cured me (I think-no
promises). I think I will go back in a different state and mindset. Hopefully forever?
3-The way she has led me back to my beautiful daughter
4-The way we have both come to realize that we are way
better mommies when we forget our kids sometimes completely.It is a must.
5-the way we know technology is both a blessing and a
curse and have decide to control the curse part more effectively
6-The way we know for sure that we could never live
without each other..or never tell the complete truth to eachother..or never lie
to eachother..or never hold something back from eachother. This is real all the
way and always will be. Soft love..tough love..real love. This girl above all
has reserved most of her kind spirit for….me..even more than the locals. I will
love her endlessly for this perfect gift
7-The way that both of us can be exactly who we are and
still be unconditionally loved by eachother
8-The way that we made time for this important trip and milestone
in our lives despite every single factor and obstacle in the world almost preventing
us to come here
9-the way she got
on the plane eventhough it was almost impossible to do so while barging and
green. She did it for me. She did it for her.
We
are both smart enough to know….we need this week.
Onto the last three days!!!!! No don’t end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
