::sigh::
In less than 24 hours I will no longer be back in South Jersey and no longer on vacation. Yuck. I really dont want to return to reality. I dread going back to work, Im exhausted at the thought of my new exercise regimen, and I am especially displeased with the thought of no tropical foliage in So.jersey.
I wish i could hang around in my "dream world" a little longer, surrounded by palm trees, white sand, blue water, spanish music, flip flops, bathing suits, mopeds, 24 hour pizza and ice cream, constant flicker of camera flashes, and good looking men to dance our own interpretation of the salsa with before walking with me around the moonlit ship decks.
I couldnt have asked for more on a vacation: Clubbing, drinking, lounging, tanning, siteseeing, eating, hauling luggage from ship to hotel to hotel, speeding mopeds, swimming, climbing water falls, tubing with the natives in pristine rivers, jumping off of little cliffs, touring, feeding chickens and romancing ( a little)...
At the finale of my two week adventure, I've been inspired to make a list of all the places I've been in the last 22 years - nationally and internationally:
United States:
New Jersey (eh, duh)
Pennsylvania (Phila. and suburbs)
Delaware (Wilmington)
New York (NYC)
Maryland (Ocean City)
Washington, D.C.
Massachusettes (Boston, Salem, Plymouth, Cape Cod)
Rhode Island
Connecticut
Maine
Virginia
Tennessee (Gatlinberg, Dollywood)
South Carolina (Myrtle Beach)
Florida (Key West, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, Coco Beach)
Colorado (Denver, Boulder, Golden, Aurora)
International:
Puerto Rico
Mexico (Costa Maya [2], Cozumel)
Virgin Gorda
Tortola
St. Thomas
Bahamas
Belize
Jamaica
Grand Cayman
I am sure this list will be ever growing.
My vacation day-by-day recap is sure to come in the next few days when i get settled at home with my photos.
