I am Home .... and so many WOW moments

Some of you know that I have been away for about 2 weeks . What started out as a trip down to Boca Raton , then to Key West , then on to a cruise out if Puerto Rico ... had its bumps .,
While in KW .. I developed a kidney stone .. so when  I got back to Boca I was admitted to the hospital for 2 days .... Way to go !! Thank God they did the cultures as now I know what my body is resistant to . Then on Friday the 9th we took off to Puerto Rico .... to catch a Royal Caribbean ship called the Serenade of the Seas . In those 7 days we managed to visit : 
Barbados
Antigua - St. Johns
St. Lucia
St. Thomas
St, Croix ''

AT 6 years out , I had a WOW moment I will never forget . I took an excursion that called for me to take a tram to the top of the rain forest ., Then zip line down to the bottom , What I did not realize is that  would have to climb back up just to get to the tram that would take me back out if the rainforest's .
I will be honest , I teared up when I seen the step climb and the rocks and trees before me . I prayed and asked God for the strength , After I  began the climb out of there . Thanks to my husband he encouraged me all the way to the top , not to mention I had on my new Timberland's and boy did they help . Well for the next 3 days my butt cheeks hurt so bad, I thought I would die ... this called for Hot Tub Time .

The next day Tuesday , we landed in the beautiful island of Antigua , St, John . We had a snorkeling adventure lined up . They took us out to ta protected reef ... and we snorkeled for about an hour . The sites I seen , where nothing less than a God Send ... I seen blue fish , Nemo fish ... and I tried to go after this really big blue fish and Alan pulled me back ... as I was over top a reef and if I had gone any further I  would have cut my leg . So he pulled me back .. but I till chased him ... I went around the cavern and seen him again . Once back on board .. the drinks began to flow .. Rum Punch ... you name it they had it .. but I am not a drinker so I stood back and I watched the others . I learned how to do the BELLY DANCE , THE 5 CENT , 10 CENT , 50 CENT - DOLLAR DANCE ... Let's just say it was a hoot .

Upon leaving the reef we went to an exclusive beach I was too tired to get out ... so I slept on board . I did get to witness a big sea turtle , she was amazing ,

Once back to the pier , I was thrilled ,, as I had never seen such beauty . 
I am glad to be home and back with you all . Vacation is great ,, but now the aftermath begins . I am unpacking and cleaning ...
I would not change a thing ..I have made so many great memories .

Here is a Link to me zip lining down thru the rain forest . NO giggling .. we had to do this 25 times , each one getting more dating thnan the other .
6 Years ago , I would have 1. never been able to get into the gear , let alone zip or carry my fat butt out of  that jungle .

As I read your note I felt excitement just thinking about these wow moments that are now memories and part of who you are. The video is great.
Glad you are home safely.

WOW!  For both the fact that you could physically do the zip line but that you were brave enough as well.
