What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding?
There may be a way she doesn't have to change careers (though I like your thinking GG)
Is it unheard of to call in sick for a week?
Day 2- The South takes over Coco's Beach
I wish I could remember the exact FB posting made by Boardie X, but it was something similar to this. Since he is from Missouri, we decided to adopt him into the fold anyway!
We met another guest this day, a really nice lady that we will call L (it's the initial of her first name, which I'm sure you gathered haha). L and I had an adventure later in the day. Let's just say a combination of a really persistant sub salesman and a woman whose hormone pills weren't working up to par makes a bad situation lol.
So, I'll preface this by saying that I'm the kind of person who goes, goes, and goes. Vacation is no excuse to sleep late! No sirree! So I was up at SIX FREAKIN' AM every morning, even after the pub crawl. I'll just act like this was by choice. Anyway, I was up early and out on the beach at six AM. C and I made our way to the beach and staked out our spot which we claimed for the entire time we were there. If you're on my FB, you'd see the same picture I posted every morning. Here's an example:
Me, on a lounger under the sea grape tree, looking out to the ocean...bliss! Digressing, sorry. After we had sat for a while, we decided to take a little stroll down the beach, south-ish, towards town. We really didn't get very far, past White Sands, when we saw a small needlefish frantically swimming/jumping out of the water. It was neat! Not so much for the little fish, because there was a HUGE needlefish chasing it! Honestly, it was the coolest thing. They were jumping so fast, it was crazy. The bigger fish chased the little one right up on the sand....he leaped and flying through the air....landing in a big plop on the sand! Oh no! Somebody save the fish, LOL! So because I'm a nice person (there is a backstory to this, I saved a turtle one morning and I told my daughter that I saved a turtle, so I must be a nice person, don't laugh...she didn't believe me either), I told my husband to pick it up and throw it back. He has experience with that nature stuff, so he did. One of the workers at White Sands saw the whole thing, so we talked with him for a few minutes. Poor C was afraid that he threw the little fish to his death, in other words the big fish had a good breakfast.
After that, we walked a little more. I had no idea what time it was so we turned back and headed 'home'. It was a nice little walk. When we got back, I walked to the front office to check about guests. Now, I know Coco doesn't have the best reputation about allowing guests on property. They sure make you jump through hoops to have visitors! I worried that Steph and Gary (still Gary at this point, the metamorphosis is approaching!) wouldn't bring their IDs. Apparently not everyone wakes up at the crack of dawn (who knew?), so I ended up waking Steph. Steph, I really did feel bad....I swear! Anyway, after informing them of the need for IDs, we packed up the essentials for the beach (cooler and Red Stripes). Oops, I almost forgot to describe breakfast!
Generally speaking, breakfast was the same for us every morning. We didn't deviate much from the same meal every morning....which is cool. As long as I had Coco's crack, I mean Coco's banana bread, then I was good. Seriously, that stuff is addictive. Best banana bread EVER.
Ok, anyway....C and I were chilling on the beach. I hate that word, truly I do, but I can't think of another one that is so appropriate. Boardie X comes up and the three of us are talking. I will leave out the numerous times I ran back and forth to the front office to check if Steph and GARY had arrived yet. I'd have to sign them in and they couldn't come on property until I did so (which wasn't exactly true, stay with me). That worried the tar out of me! I was afraid I'd miss them and then what?!?! C and I were super excited that Steph and GARY wanted to come hang with us that day. And of course, we planned on walking down and checking out the Fun Holiday webcast at noon. Well, I shouldn't have worried because I hear my name yelled out in that SC twang, "Tracieeeeee!" I look up and there is Steph and GARY! WOOHOOOOO!
After all of that business was taken care of, the five of us were hanging out on the beach. Details aren't important, truly, I can't remember what all we talked about! But what I thought was great was the five of us just got along like we'd know each other forever. I guess it's the constant interaction on the board, whatever it is, it's wonderful. It just felt right. C and I started passing out cold Red Stripes and the only reason I bring this up is because our beer multiplied throughout our vacation. Seriously! IDK how it happened, I guess it was MAGIC haha. I know we went through at least two six-packs that day, so it was spooooooky. Ok, sorry....I was getting carried away.
Coming up, our trip down to Fun Holiday!
Oh, I forgot to add...C had a nice story to tell GARY, Rob, and Boardie X. He told them he went HANDGRABBING (or noodling, whatever it's called) in Negril lol. They must have had some kind of a conversation about that the night before because they all just died laughing. The husband was so proud, I couldn't tell him to stop telling that story haha.

Love that picture, I miss Negril beach so much!
I think it's sweet that your hubby saved that fish... Well, at least gave the little guy a fighting chance at survival.
