A storm is in the forecast for today. Do I care? Not one little bit.
In less than 2 hours, we’ll be heading off for our annual fun-in-the-sun get-away. This year’s destination is Fiji.
It’s so much like Tahiti why are you going to Fiji? you ask. You’ve already be to Tahiti — twice!
Why not go? I reply.
My goal is to visit as many of the tropical places in paradise as I can — before Alzheimer’s sets in. Or before my body goes kaput (more than it already has).
While yes, Fiji and Tahiti share the same South Pacific ocean location, and yes, they are both tropical paradises, and yes we had to sell off our first born to afford to go there, they are different cultures, different histories, different cuisines, different things to see.
As I bask in the sun, play in the sea, and frolic on the beach, I shall think of you, Dear Reader, who is stuck in the daily grind of normal life wherever you are in the world. (Except for you, Julianne. You live in a tropical place so you don’t count!)
A moment of silence for all of the rest of my readers.
Au revoir.
I’m so jealous!!
Have a wonderful time!
It’s true. You would not have had to sell your first born to come visit this tropical island. Alas, you have missed the chance of a lifetime. Still, I hope the other island treats you well.
Julianne,
I’ve missed the chance of a lifetime?? Are you leaving your island??
