In the states it is 12:20am on 12.14.10, but here it's 1:20pm. I'm sitting on our perfectly made bed, with the doors to the deck wide open, listening to island music, drinking a freshly brewed cup of coffee....while Eric is laying on the deck sunbathing. It's a beautiful day in the Maldives. The sun is shining, the wind is blowing more than a breeze, but far from the hurricane winds we had last week.
We woke up this morning, laid around, then headed off to breakfast about 9:15am. I wrote 10 postcard and realized I needed 10 more. After breakfast we went to the main island and bought 10 more. Sorry to say that it will take two weeks for your postscards to come. We should have sent them the first day we were here. Now we will beat the postcards home.
We met a new couple (John and his wife)...and he and Eric sat around talking about points. Seriously, "points" and "rewards" and "redemption stays"...all words of a serious illness which I call BEING A POINT WHORE. This is a group of people who are obsessed with gaining and spending points. I could spend hours writing about it, but it's better to see it in action. Better yet---put two point whores together, or three, and it's like a point whore convention. They sit together and talk abouot all the ways they've used and saved and gained points...how many places in the world they've beenon redemption stays (using point to get a hotel room)...and what class of redemption they've stayed on. I've had my fill, but glad they're into it. I get to reap the rewards of Eric's illness. :) Thanks, hubby!
While Eric and John got a fix, I walked the beach and took photos. Being one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, I want to take photos of everything, in every different angle, in every different light. It's soooo gorgeous here. Words don't even really describe it. You just have to come here and experience it for yourself.
The rest of the day looks like this minute. Sitting down, working on the blog, and working on our digital scrapbook. That damn thing is going to cost about $200, but it will be awesome! I'm going to wait for a 50% coupon! :) Eric is going to lay out in the sun for a while, read for a while, sleep for a while...then tonight we will go night fishing again. THIS TIME I will opt to bring the camera!!!
Ok, time to catch up on our days here and our "wild" island adventures! ;)
