LOL – your writing style has me cracking up – I was literally snorting to hold back my giggles while I was reading this at work. My co-workers kept glancing over at me curiously.
Yes, that smoking room IS like a death room! You can’t even breathe in there, it’s like a torture chamber! I can’t believe you missed your connecting flight! Ahhh no! So glad it all worked out in the end. Samsara looks beautiful and I so relate to your desire to drop your stuff in the hotel and just head out of the room. Toiletries can be arranged later, there’s only so many hours of sunlight in the day! I basically dump my suitcase on the floor, pull on my bathing suit and break into a run to the waters edge like I’m on fire!
OMG! that belly flop picture!! Ack!! she must have been hurting after that fall!!
Enjoying this trip report so much! Can’t wait to read more!
P.S. you are so FIT! And you have two kids? (they’re beautiful btw!) You have to share your secret w/us, Tizzy~!
