Hola My Friends!!
Well Dan and I finally got to take another international vacation! And let me tell you this was long overdue! With working 12-14 hour days 5 days a week for the last year and a half I really needed some time away. And Dan works so hard all the time he deserved this time away! And thanks to Dan's wonderful Aunt and Uncle, which by the way we happen to just Adore! Two of the most loving, giving and fun people I have ever met! We don't get to spend as much time with them as we would like. But we deeply cherish the times that we have together. They are always filled with laughter, and life lessons.
They have a beautiful time share down in Ixtapa, Mexico. And they have been telling us for years that we should come down. Well, this year we finally just did it! Just cost us our airfare and spending money. And I can not tell you just how beautiful this place is! We spent most of our time on the beach enjoying cold beers and a beautiful view. The people were so kind and generous. It was beautiful.
When my Mom passed I swore that anytime we went somewhere that they had never been I would take some of their ashes with me and spread them. I did just that on this trip. I went out in the ocean as far as I felt comfortable and spread their ashes in the sea. I am sure that by now they have been all over, the ocean tide carrying them to different places that they never thought they would see. I hope to continue this tradition and take their ashes to many more place that money allows us to travel.
I have beautiful memories of our time in Mexico and the amazing people we shared it with. We are hoping to take another trip to Europe some time in the next couple of years.
We will just have to wait and see what the Gods have in store of us.
I started this blog in 2011 before my husband and I began our first ever European vacation. I had actually forgotten about it. Now it will be a place for me to keep my random bits of writing. Should something I write strike you please do leave a comment. As I enjoy hearing what emotions if any my writings might stir in someone. So, grab yourself a cup or tea or pint of ale, sit down and enjoy!
