I watched my husband a lot this trip. It was just bliss seeing him so happy & relaxed. My Gary was letting go. Something he hadn’t done in many years. He is the good responsible one in this house… always my voice of reason. It was so good to have him back. Laughing and joking, and making me laugh like he did “back in the day”. He still makes me laugh, but this was 25 year old Gary making me laugh. And he's just damn funny sometimes!! .
I loved this part and it made me smile
I know exactly what you mean, Jamaica does this to Markus too. He's the responsible one in our household as well and it's nice to see him stress-free, so blissful, laughing and letting loose.

I'm really enjoying your trip report, looking forward to the next update.
