Vacation Ends Now...
I'm now sitting in the Ft. Lauderdale International Airport taking advantage of the free wireless and awaiting my re-entry into reality. The forces of fantasy almost kept me in paradise a little longer. When I arrived at the airport my ticket was supposedly mistakingly marked for December 1. Apparently I missed my flight by a whole weekend. The company made a small mistake in my travel arrangements. Oops. The ticket lady was able to fix it and there was space for me on the flight. Drat! Freezing temperatures here I come. I'm still looking forward to seeing my friends I haven't seen in over 6 months which is nice. Too bad it's the wrong season.
The final part of the cruise was exciting. Bags in the halls, costumes hanging all over the place with a mixture of funk and Downey freshness, and still last adventures. In Costa Rica a bunch of us went on a water rafting adventure. It was exciting indeed. We were warned at first that we would be going into level 5 territory and that we could die!! Sheesh!! Now that's a way to scare your panties off. We headed down the white water and hit our first whopper of a wave. It was thrilling and we made it!!! The rest of the trip was so much fun. I can't wait to do something like that again.
We all said our goodbyes on Thursday. It was a long and grueling day for me since everyone was leaving and I was staying in town for a bit. I had a nice drive up to Orlando where I stayed with an old college friend and went to the wonderful world of Disney the next day. I shuffled over to Tampa to see my San Diegan friends who were very pregnant now. She's expecting in Februrary. It was such a pleasure to see them again. They're father gave them a lovely home to stay in until she delivered that was the epitamy of a southern ranch. Right down to the moss hanging from the trees and the river going through the backyard. We spent a delightful day together strolling the beach and devouring food. It was lovely catching up and sharing pictures of the past 6 months. I made it back to Orlando where I got to spend more quality time with my college friend and his partner. I'm glad everyone's doing well and I hope to see them again.
Now I'm off to the wonderful world of snow. NOT!! I've become such a snow bird. I'd get away from it if I could, but the money and friendships that I need to catch up on are in NYC right now. Off I go into the wild blue yonder out of the warm clear skies of Florida and into the gloomy and busy ones of NYC.
