Here's my Caribbean 2009 Top 10 Things I Learned on Vacation (in no particular order of importance or impact on my life):
10. Cate does not enjoy showering.
9. Danny does not know how to whisper.
8. My children will never share a room. (I actually already knew that. This trip just solidified it for me.)
7. I am not elegant.
6. Diet Dr. Pepper doesn't own me as much as I thought it did.
5. A glass elevator can provide hours (ok, maybe just minutes...but it felt like hours) of enjoyment.
4. It is very possible to have too much of a good thing (that chocolate cake).
3. Do not let Danny enter the room first. If you do, the towel animal will be destroyed before it can be enjoyed.
2. It is hotter than Hades in Cozumel.
1. The drunkards at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville are quite entertaining (and a little bit scary).
And since I am not capable of having a pictureless post...

Is elegance like grace? You know how you can't have "some" grace. You either have it or you don't.
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too much chocolate cake, you just need to learn to pace yourself.
I learned that when you talk to Danny in his "D" language he actually understands you. For example:
Me: "Danny, du du dant du do don da dairplane?"
Danny: "Des, di dant du do don da dairplane."
The cumulative time we spent on the glass elevators had to be over an hour, but still not quite hours.
ReplyDeleteI learned that even though MacDonald's has free roaming chickens in their parking lot, they still are not as good as McDonald's. (The chicken sandwiches may be fresher, but the orange soda is bleech!)
What is the Clearfield High School mascot (circa 1980's) doing in Jamaica?
ReplyDeleteDan, I spent some time on the elevators without you. It might have been hours.
ReplyDeleteTony, it's airdane.
