I have dreamed of a nice tropical vacation for years now.
My dream consists of strong drinks, colorless sandy beaches, a swim in the ocean, & lots of relaxing.
So when my husband surprised me with two tickets to the tropics I was blissful, but unfortunately, my dream vacation didn’t take into account the fact that even the tropics have their off afternoons. It was cold, windy, & rainy the entire time. My pal and I spent almost the entire vacation in our hotel room or in one of the nearby bars. So at least my buddy and I still got the strong drinks however that was it, however, the day before my buddy and I were tied up to depart it finally stopped raining & I decided I was going to go for that swim. It was still entirely cold out however I donned my bikini & dashed down the colorless sandy beach to the water. I then jumped in & splashed around for a bit before running back into our hotel room & warming up in front of the heater. My teeth were chattering & I couldn’t stop shaking however at least I could say I had swam in the tropics. I ended up falling asleep, still in my bikini, on the floor in front of the heating system in our hotel room. I had a dream that I was on a chair out in the sun. I wish. Instead of the sunshine I had a heater. Instead of sand I had a hardwood floor. I feel my buddy and I will just have to take this trip again someday. Hopefully when it is a bit warmer.
