And I’d never seen a shower like this in my life…It was HUGE!




Every stretch of wall had windows on it with wooden blinds that opened to reveal the sunshine streaming through the bright green tropical landscape…

She was walking around showing us everything “Here is the remote control for the flat screen, we have a ipod stereo here.. You can make complimentary phone calls here, international or local…” She kept going but her voice kind of faded away and I started feeling dizzy, like I needed to lay down… this was all very surreal… I couldn’t digest it. I looked around and covered my mouth…

Was this really happening? Were we really going to be spending our anniversary in this over the top beautiful honeymoon villa? How could we be so blessed to be able to experience this? How do we even deserve this?

And that’s when my eyes filled with tears…

(Note: My eyes will fill with tears many times during this trip. You could make a drinking game out of it –“Read Clarity’s trip report and take a shot each time she starts to cry tears of joy.” You’ll pass out drunk before you reach day 5.)

Kimi looked concerned “Is everything okay with this villa? Is something wrong?”

“No.. I’m just, it’s…incredibly beautiful…” I whispered “thank you for upgrading us… this is…I..”

“No crying now. Stop that”, Kimi said with a smile and a wave of her hand. “I’m very happy you like it here,”
