Concluding thoughts on vacation...

Well... if I could be doing what I'm doing at 3:39 on every Monday... this would definitely be the life. Sitting here on the plane, coming home from Ixtapa... no just people watching, but people wondering... how cool it would be to be fluent in another language (not that I have the money or the patience for that... but cool nonetheless)... When Sheilah and I left the Capella resort, the taxi driver, Albero, took us back to the airport. We drove by some less than fortunate parts of town, that left little to be imagined as to how they lived. I am so blessed to have been born in America, raised in a loving family, and given the talents that I have been given...

And kudos to Sheilah.... because without her, I wouldn't have seen many of the things that I have seen over the past year. A lifelong friend to say the least, but no matter where life may take us... know that mine's better... and it all started with us volunteering for HLSR and heading out in the Egypt known as Pod 5... :)

At Capella Ixtapa... well, first of all, it was beautiful... tucked back off the beaten path, on the rocky coast... in playa linda...something you would see in a movie... very dramatic, yet peaceful... there were multiple levels, and they had a little "elevator" similar to the tram/cable track such as the one at the Royal Gorge... so, it was steep... but fun.

We actually walked down to the water for photos, but I think it was too bright... and then... ugh.. my camera was splashed and that was the end of photos for that portion of the photo shoot. And then got a calf workout walking back up the steep steps to the elevator...

Amazing that one trip can helped put my life in perspective... well, both trips to Mexico this month... Just take a look at this...



Can you imagine waking up every day, stepping out onto a private balcony and catching a glimpse of the whitecaps slamming into these rocks? (Well, it was nice while it lasted)

More to come...
Good to be home... better to be on vacation. :)
