December 28, 2009

Day 8-Monday, December 14, 2009   Well, today was our last full day in Curacao and I truly believe that we made the most of it. First, I have one more bodily injury update. This morning when I woke up, the first thing Shelli said to me was “I am ready to go home now.” [...]

Curacao Honeymoon: Day 7-Scuba & Rescue

December 25, 2009

Day 7-Sunday, December 13, 2009   The word of today is ADVENTURE. Today seems crammed packed with it, beginning with our early morning introduction to Scuba diving. A tense night of sleep, fearful of mosquito bites, made us quite willing to pounce out of bed at 8:00 a.m. this morning and head down the shore to [...]

Day 3-Wednesday, December 9, 2009  Now at the time of this writing we are awake SUPER LATE (at 4:30 p.m. local time to be exact so much for the shuttle to town–we were waitlisted anyway) and kinda hungover.

Curacao Honeymoon: Day 2-Grand Opening, Grand Closing

December 22, 2009

Day 2-Tuesday, December 8, 2009 Shelli and I woke up at 1:45 p.m. I opened the curtains and we both rejoiced at the sheer perfection. A partly cloudy day and truly the bluest water I’ve ever seen. We got dressed and left for food. More mediocre Jimmy’s Buffet, but the BBQ chicken was actually tasty. [...]

Day 1-Monday, December 7, 2009 So it begins…A rare rainy and cold morning in LA made me relieved that we were leaving. A great ride to LAX in prepaid luxury sedan was a nice touch–thanks Shelli for the idea and Connie Self for hooking us up with a discount through a local affiliate. The car [...]
