On dry land...
Jan. 23rd, 2011 07:07 am...only my inner ear/brain still think I'm at sea, despite two intervening airplane rides (remember when going on a plane was a fun experience?) and a harrowing drive home through an attempted blizzard. (Oh human physiology, you are a laugh riot!)
FYI:
- Holland-America cruises - awesome. They try to feed you to death, but it's still awesome.
- meclozine is my friend.
- soaking up the sun while watching civic workers take down Christmas decorations - disconcerting for a Northern hemisphere native, but also awesome.
- several years ago (and I think at least twice) the government of The Turks and Caicos proposed an economic union with Canada. Canada turned them down. Dear Canada, mostly I love you, but that was a dumb idea. Reconsider.
- St. Thomas, USVI - someplace I'd barely ever heard of, but would consider running away to (vacations apparently make me end sentences and clauses with prepositions - oh well!)
- while snorkeling, I swam with a school of squid! SQUID! (It was so much cooler than it sounds. Really.)
- The Bacardi factory in Puetro Rico was CLOSED! This was both the greatest tragedy and keenest disappointment of the trip, cuz, yes, rum is yummy.
So now I am back - what have you all been up to?
