I know. It makes no sense to be going on “vacation” right now. But we committed to a trip to Orlando months ago when we had no, absolutely no idea we’d be doing what we are doing today. We prepaid the trip. That said — we are driving to Orlando tomorrow (Saturday) for a week of fun and sun. Our friends, Mary and Greg are joining us on Sunday. They will stay until Thursday morning. This down-time vaca sounds wonderful. Our plans include a glass-bottomed kayak trip along one of the clear, fresh spring rivers of central Florida (possibly at night-time) and a tour of Cape Canaveral and then a blank agenda on Wednesday. . Just great, quality time with sweet friends! We hope for great food, relaxation and the generation of more wonderful memories.
One additional thought. I received an invitation today from my sweet friend, Lourdes to attend the Quinceanera for her granddaughter, Joana Ozuna. This grand party is a very important event for not only the young girl but for her whole family and the community. It is like a coming-out party for young Hispanic girls as they celebrate their 15th birthday. I deeply regret having to miss this beautiful celebration. I will miss seeing Joana in her heavenly, pink dress and most of all, I will miss holding the hand of my friend, Lourdes, dancing with her and watching her witnessing her granddaughter’s beautiful coming of age moment.
