SOME VACATIONS WILL MAKE YOU FORGET WHICH DAY IT IS...

What a glorious, PERFECT, vacation we had last week.
Going to the Keys with our boating friends was a wonderful time of activity, stimulation, inspiration and FUN.
Melissa and Kurt have a condo/time share in Islamorada, which they have had for 20 years. Since they are a family of scuba diver/lobster ‘lovers’, they use their condo for this family sport. The Collins Family is so generous in all they do and I call them my “Walton Family Missionaries” even though they look like “Barbie and Ken”. This is the second year that we have gone to their ‘tropical paradise’ in the Keys.
Dockie, Ann, Sam, Sally, Cindy, Charlie and I were all together in the land of enchantment. Some stayed in other hotels along the way but we brought three small boats for our exploration of the emerald seas.
On Sat. the 5th, Pammy, Melissa and Kurt’s 14 yr. old and Marina, Todd and Nancy’s daughter, swam with the dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center in Marathon. With Nancy, Cindy and Melissa looking on they had an unbelievable aquatic experience which they will remember all their life.
Day after day we traveled the waters around our island paradise cove.
There are 42 bridges connecting 126 miles of Florida Keys.
Nautical experiences are infinite.
Each day was filled with boating, eating, laughing, loving and even some .....crying.
To be sure.....it was simply a touch of heaven.....on earth.
