So we took a little trip to The Pelican Bar and look who came out to play on our way home!

hey_mon, thanks very much for the Irie vibes from Jamaica!! That first image of Pelican Bar is that a photo or a photo of an image of it?? Cool in any event and seeing the dolphin brings good luck!! Well maybe you get lucky and can't leave the island?? Don't know about the Prairies but this F'en virus is getting crazy here in the States. I just heard they identified somebody in Kingston in the past day or two?? Anyway forgive the bad vibe. Look at the bright side you have St. Paddy's Day to look forward to on Tuesday not that you need any excuses to scoff a few Guinnesses. HaHaHa!!!
Have a safe trip home and stay healthy!!
Just enjoying my cup of coffee in a cool mountain breeze kind of way, smelling breakfast being cooked and wishing we were stranded here, however, our flight is on its way down so assuming they will take us all back. The virus is now on the island with 8 confirmed cases, all from travellers from the uk and such. We have one confirmed case in Manitoba and three presumptive, which I assume means possible but no positive results as yet. Apparently we have zero toilet paper in our stores. So nice to see the sheeple being idiots. Have checked in with my workplace and I am good to go back Monday morning, so life will resume. The pic of pelican bar is an actual picture I took as we were pulling up, but I put a funky filter on it, so that might be why it looks like a copy. And sooooo many dolphins came swimming by, probably a dozen or so. Moms and babies, several groups, so close we could have touched them off the side of the boat! Had a great stay in treasure beach as usual, so many laughs and friendships made, sad to leave but always ready to return!

Random pics......gals having some bevies while the guys listened to the Jets and Oilers game, who knew it would be our last game for a while, and a round of dirty bananas that may have led to some full moon skinny dipping shenanigans ��

Glad you are home!!
hey_mon glad to hear that you made it home safely and that you had a great trip. Stay healthy!!
We did but are doing the self quarantine work from home thing. Is very surreal for sure. Walking into the Mobay airport and it was so quiet for a Saturday at 2:30. Usually you are struggling to get through the masses. So far so good, we are all 11 of us healthy, and this too shall pass. Pining for warmer times though, that’s for sure.

So we are officially into day 8 of self quarantine since returning. My windows have more nose prints from me these days than the dog or the cat! All kidding aside, this is a very uncertain time for sure and we will continue to stay inside, only venture into the yard or go for a walk when it gets to be too much. When we see someone coming towards us we cross the street so as to avoid any contact. Have been working from home for the past week as our whole office has been sent home, thankful I am still be working and saving for next years island adventure. This year was fun but 11 people under one roof is an interesting experiment in human dynamics for sure. Marblue was lovely, love the location and the rooms, and it prices out well. Seaside villa was very nice as well. Cannot complain about anywhere we have stayed in Treasure Beach, that’s for sure. Never did see Kory when we were by Sunset, only Janette a few times. It seemed pretty quiet there, and people were saying it was a quiet year overall this year. Hope things can return to normal soon. I know this will take a while to get over and the implications will be felt for much longer. Speaking of, what will happen with your youngest sons wedding this April Johng? Has it been postponed? And your anniversary trip to New Orleans Rumghoul? Will you chance it in May? I know they have a really good music festival down there as we did the Beale Street music festival the year I turned 50, but I feel like that will all be cancelled this year. 2020 is really turning out to be a year to remember, and not in a good way. Here’s hoping you guys are doing okay, staying put, and this will be a bad memory and we can move forward with our lives.

Hey_mon (I got it right!!) - Glad you had a good time (hopefully all 11 are still talking, that can take a toll on some people) and even more glad that you are home safe and sound (even though you are seeing more of your home than you wish at this crazy time). Things were very quiet in TB when we were there in February as well. People who live there now are very worried about the future as everybody has cancelled and they will have nothing coming in. It is a great community and they will pull together to take care of each other. Michigan has just issued a 3 week shut down starting at midnight tonight - my husband and I will be able to continue working in the office as we are essential to keeping the business afloat - plus there isn't anyone else left in our building right now. We are not cancelling New Orleans but it doesn't look good - will wait and see how everything plays out. We were in Arizona a week ago - came home last Friday. Easy to keep distance apart on plane as there were only about 30 people on flights. Airports bars/restaurants were open - keeping people seated a distance away from each other. Was also wondering about Johng's sons wedding - have read so many stories about cancelled weddings, what a shame. All that planning time, money, excitement to be cut out with nothing. I agree 2020 will be a year to remember but not in a good way. It is like a bad dream you cannot wake up from.
I did book Villa Du soleil for next year so I have that to look forward to, and spring is coming - we went for a couple walks yesterday, then it snowed last night.
STAY SAFE!!
