We are back! A great time was had, and lots of money was spent. Some of the things that happened that were memorable on the trip: James and Brian were stung by jellyfish (which still freaks me out). We outran a storm on our sunset dolphin cruise… BARELY (it was neat to see the storm roll in, though). Dave took a poo in the bushes by a hotel called Xanadu (which was rechristened Xanapoo as a result). I did manage to see ONE alligator on the island. I realized that there is a limit to how many daiquiris one can drink; Dave, on the other hand, has no limit; seriously (they were good, but way too much sugar!). Sometimes, it is just fun to relax and sit out by the pool with friends.
All in all, I would say a good time was had. As with many vacations, I almost need a vacation from my vacation… travel, drinking, and having fun can wear one out! It was nice to come home yesterday to see our little boy Sydney, whom I missed more than I imagined, and it was true to say that he was definitely glad to see us. After picking him up from the sitter, we came home to discover that our HVAC unit had crapped out while we were gone, and was no longer functioning. Nice. Needless to say, we sweated our balls off until bed time, which, luckily enough, we have a window unit in the bedroom, so it wasn’t that bad for sleeping. The AC people are coming today, and I hope it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to fix. It probably will though, these things are never cheap. Ah, the joys of home ownership. UPDATE: Looks like we are looking at $5000 worth of AC repairs. Jesus. Anyone have any money I can have? A lot of it?
Hope everyone else’s weekend rocked! I can’t wait till we get our AC back!
