I'm still (literally) on island time.
Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2007 8:06 am
That's why I'm home but still up at 5:00 a.m. My body thinks it's 7:00 and if I even think of that sunrise over Coral Bay and how it's happening and I'm not seeing it, well, I just want to cry like a baby.
My time on (and around) STJ was wonderful, fantastic and all those other words we try to use for things when we just can't really find the right words at all.
Everything about it was just so easy. Anything I was nervous about beforehand (driving, safety, etc.) simply faded away within moments. This past ten days have been the most reassuring of my life.
What I must do before anything else though is say a huge THANK YOU to all the people that "adopted" me during this trip. Vicki and her crew, the Wishweweretheres, Karen and Ian (not forum members... yet), Ruth and Ron, Randy and Marcia, Rob & Cindi, Pia and Les and everyone else I met along the way (I hope I'm not missing anyone)! It was truly amazing to have a little "island family" during my trip. It made for the perfect balance of time alone and social time- I loved it!
And I'd honestly encourage anyone wanting to head down there but unsure of going it alone to DO IT. There are a few things you have to be smart about and once you've done that, you are set and you won't regret it. (To tell the truth, my list of people I'd now "allow" to join me after this trip is very short.)
Thanks again, all! Report and a billion photos to come!
