Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go, Jamaica
Lyrics for Kokomo by the Beach Boys
Oh my gosh! The water is actually the most beautiful I have ever seen. The deepest, brightest aqua blue. And the foliage…oh man, lush, like a tropical rain forest. The people were very friendly, love their smiles.
Now let me tell you that I know what “no problem mon” means. It means I’ll get you that drink of water in about 2hours. I know that the island life is a laid back kind of life, but get over yourselves. Laid back is one thing but this was just unedited laziness.
We stayed at an all inclusive resort. Sandals at Ocho Rios on Jamaica. There were several restaurants available, but only a few worth eating at. They love to overcook their food, which I like my food cooked, but I actually like to stop chewing it at some point in the evening. We had one absolutely delicious meal, of course it took 3 hours. No! I am not kidding. 3 hours. Of course we were in an air conditioned restaurant overlooking the Riveria, so who’s complaining. The humidity level was at least 123.8%. It did no good to “put your face on”, because the humidity took it right off! Oh and forget the hair! I wouldn’t give up, I continued to curl my hair every night and within 10 minutes you could find the curl on the ground.
One evening we dined on the pier overlooking the Riveria on a moonlit, star bright night and it was the most romantic evening. I even saw a shooting star. The only thing missing was Terry actually reaching over to kiss me. Oh well you can’t have everything. He said he was mesmerized by the water! So go kiss a fish! Guess I should have made a better wish on that star.
I am very thankful that we had the opportunity to go and I was also thankful to finally travel on a vacation with my inlaws (Terry’s brother and wife). I will say that we are all still speaking to one another and I still love them very much. This comes after they told us they have only gone on one vacation with another couple and after they returned home, they have never spoken to one another again.
I am very glad to be home. I suppose I’m getting old, because after 4 days I was missing my bed, after 6, I was missing everything.

Sounds "mav'alus" dolling! Wow, the water is blue isn't' it? So, what's with the big "T" holding out on the smooches? Next time, mabey you should lean over and plant a nice big wet one on him. LOL!
Going away is nice but coming home is just as nice. In my case I'd like to go further away, LOL!!! :):)
Beautiful! What more can I say!
