Happy party day! Are you ready to show off your mad talents? I’m super excited you’re here!! This week I’m partying with you from St. Maarten (again). This is our sixth year to vacation here — and when I say vacation, I mean a true blue-let’s-be-beach-bums-for-a-week vacation! It’s glorious. I found this ‘We Travel’ quote and thought it was kind of awesome. “We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” (Anonymous). I love it — and I think it’s so true! Breaking away from the day to day grind breaths life back into us… we need those escapes every once and a while.
I had every intention of pulling together features for the party this week as we traveled here; however, I ended up getting sick! My shoulder was bothering me, so I took a pain pill. DUMB IDEA! Apparently the meds and the elevations weren’t a good combination. I threw up on the first flight — and let me say that I’ve never thrown up on a plane in my life, that was mortifying! I then sat for 2 hours leaning over a plastic bag. I thought it had passed, leaving a god-awful headache that I refused to take anything for. NOPE. Flight two ended with a replay and I was sick all the way to our condo. I collapsed on the bed and slept for 3 1/2 hours after taking a couple of Advil. Talk about a rough start to vacation. However, I’m finally feeling better — “what a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.” I’m so grateful we arrived safely, but I sure wish the day could have played out a little differently.
So, now that I probably shared way too much information, let’s party!! (hee-hee)
