In the Caribbean for a week, snorkeling, scuba, hanging with friends, all very nice, a good time, but it’s good to be back and to work.
I guess I’m not one of those who could embrace that island lifestyle for very long. Much as it’s offered up as some sort of ideal or “paradise” I would find it rather one dimensional.
I like the cool air up here and the seasons and even the grittiness of urban life.
And I really like working, I am very happy with our profession and feel very lucky/grateful to have found it.
I do appreciate this organization and this message board and participants, I have learned here and have passed on some things as well.
So, here is a Holiday Greeting to all and best wishes for a great, prosperous and serene New Year!
Getting right back to it Paul!
Doing two today but should be a quiet week with Xmas on Thursday.
Even down on the island I didn’t laze about much, my friends can just hang out on the beach for hours but I prefer doing something like snorkeling. I had a rental gas golf cart for getting around and would give rides to locals and tourists.
Gave a ride to mother, father and son from Ukraine. The father is a radiological scientist and was one of the first people in to Chernobyl after the disaster!
You never know who you’ll meet…
