So many different "AHHH" moments...the first happens (like many of you said) when you see the color of the water turning from dark to aqua....then the first step out of the airport - the heat, the busyness, the smells. Again, hitting Lucea with all of its activity. But my real ahh moment happens as soon as we check in to our hotel, the first thing I *MUST* do is walk to the water and put my feet in it. My husband used to want to take a few moments and unpack, get situated, but now he knows....drop the luggage, grab a drink and head straight to the water in my travel clothes...ahhhh now, I'm home.
