THE END...for a while at least...

11/15/09

Life has taken an unexpected turn. While Diego expects the arrival of his best mate, Michael, on the island shortly, Corazon and I have used our AA frequent flyer miles and have flown from St. Thomas to California for a surprise visit to see my parents. Corazon just left this place about a month ago, but I could use a break from the boat right about now, and a visit ‘home’ sounded like the perfect idea.

Our trip was long, but we broke it up with a luxurious overnight at the Hilton Miami Airport. We arrived in Miami at 8:30 p.m., grabbed some sushi from a vendor in the airport’s terminal, caught a shuttle to the hotel, checked in and snuggled under our plush, snow white, egyptian cotton comforters while we ate our tuna rolls and watched some mindless T.V. until we both crashed out from our long, long day.

The next day, after a five hour flight from one coast of the United States to the other, we arrived in L.A. and met my parents who waited for us at the airport baggage claim. Both Corazon and I are looking forward to our time here with them, especially since we’ve now decided to stay for the holidays and quickly realized that this means decorations, parties, food, and all around good fun....

I won’t be updating the blog on this portion of our lives, since it was really just intended to give our friends, family and others a glimpse into another world--the life of a sailing family. You all know what it’s like to live on land--no need to inform you on what you already live on a daily basis. Besides, not much has changed here in Rowland Heights, California--not much to tell.

Oh, right, P. S...just in case anyone is interested--a fun tidbit, if you will...on our flight from Miami to L.A., we flew in the presence of ‘a porn-god’--OK, I don’t get it, cause that’s actually the last thing I’d call him--but as most of you probably know, he is known for his size...definitely can’t be his good looks.... Anyway, I thought it was kind of fun walking through business class and passing right by Ron Jeremy. Anyone know him? Ha. Hilarious. Good times...good times.

So, that’s it for now. Wishing everyone a holiday season filled with happiness, peace and love--cause that’s really all that matters in life, isn’t it?
