Love it Clarity! Your stories and emotions always touch me and I thank you for sharing them. I too am feeling your sadness as your trip is coming to an end....it's like I am feeling that all too familiar feeling I get at the end of each of my trips, no fun!
You know I have actually cried either on the plane, at the airport, or on the way to the airport at the end of each one of my (so far) 10 trips. Even when I have already booked another trip there is just such an overwhelming feeling of sadness every time I leave that beautiful island.

So glad you made it to the cliffs...Xtabi is one of my faves too and I agree so far it is my all time favorite Dirty Banana as well!
