Reality Is Over Rated....ROATAN


Amie and Kara are served our favorite "typicos" breakfast for their send off. After breakfast, we have a downpour, good timing for rain, since we are laying low today and many adventures have transpired in the past week in decent weather.

The humidity goes up as the day warms, as sweating Amie, Kara and luggage are loaded in a taxi and airport bound. Via con Dios! Happy and grateful we had the time together, sad we go to our separate lives.

Us remaining 3 die hard vacationers take this day to relax at Land's End, we have a whole week of Roatan ahead of us. We watch the squalls approach from over the Caribbean and test the waterproof capabilities of the palapa during intermittent downpours. We float on rafts in the salt water pool. Swings in the hammock lull us into a nap. Late afternoon pool session on the raft and now comes a downpour. What a titillating sensation to feel the warm rain on my exposed skin.

"Reality is overrated" are the words from Kara upon her return to Santa Barbara. Mom, Karen and I are content with another week of Roatan. To return now to reality would be much too soon.
