I lost my sunglasses while on vacation in barbados. I don’t know what happened to them. I had them when I got back from golf but then I couldn’t find them. I want new one’s anyway, and I am going to the eye doctor on monday but I still didn’t want to loose them. My parents and my sister got back yesterday and she HAS MY SUNGLASSES!!! I am not sure where she found them, but I am happy that she did. I need to go over to my parents house and get them.
Barbados
Vacation Day 3, Wednesday
Today Mike and I went and played a round of golf. I have never played and he didn’t want to go by himself. I thought it would be fun so I went. The course was empty since we went late in the day. We had to travel half way across the island for this course. The course turned out to have sucked (according to mike). We had a bad golf card so we had to go get help between the 10th & 11th greens. Mike was pissed that we didnt get anything for free out of that. I had a good time. It was my first golf outing and I did ok. I cant drive for my life but once on the fareway I did a little worse than ok. I probibly will try it again sometime. This course was expencive. It was cheap compaired to the course by the house we rented, but it was still $100 a round. With clubs the one by our house was like $160 and that was a special deal. Golf in barbados is not for the cheap!
My only problem with golf is that I can’t see the green’s from most tee’s and I also have trouble finding the ball. Thanks mike was my lookout.
Unfortunatly I was fighting a head ache the whole game. Thankfully the meds worked for the game, but I started crashing on the ride home. I made it to the house just in time to lie down and sleep from like 7pm to the next morning. I ended up taking 2 Bextra throughout the day. At least this migrane didn’t stop me from having a good day of golf.
Vacation Day 2, Tuesday
The house is awsome. My sister out did herself on this vacation. I don’t know if she did this by luck or if she planned it, but we are in a huge house facing the ocean. it sits on a golf course in (supposedly) most exclusive part of Barbados. We even have our own maid and cook. The food is awsome too. We lounged around today. It was hot, go figure! We lied by the pool and just played it lazy. I like doing that on vacation, doing nothing.
Vacation, Day 1 Monday
So far so good. The ussual excitement, but everything is ok so far. We got to the airport and got through security without a major problem. You move very slow when you have a baby. Also some of the people I am traveling with are not the fastest people (dad, mom, & carrie). The excitement for the day so far is that my dad forgot his insulin for the trip. How a diabetic forgets that I will not know. He will get some when we get there, or that is the plan.
I am writting this from the plane. Lunch was actually not bad. I had some chicken. I just watched Mission Impossible on DVD, and have about 30% battery life left on the laptop so I decided to get some blogging in.
The weather report says it will probibly rain at least part of the day every day I am on vacation. I am not worried yet since islands like barbados ussually rain for a bit and then are nice out. I will have to see when I get there.
Morgan has been very good so far. She slept for most of the trip. I just got a screaming baby sitting a few rows in front of me. Hopefully they quiet down soon. The plane is pretty empty. We got switched from a 757 to 767 a few weeks ago. Had some issues with seats because of the change. Everything worked out though. Since we moved to the bigger plane it is pretty empty. I am in front so I still have someone sitting next to me. It is not bad. I have had worse trips. I hope that does not jinx me! I will let you know how it turns out later.
tech to bring on vacation???
So I am getting ready to pack for my island vacation. The question is what to pack tech wise. I will bring my mobile phone. It wonít work in Barbados, but it will work in the airport before and after the trip. No charger is needed for it though. I checked. No service provider has a ROAMING agreement down there so no cell phone would work. I would have to get one down there. Not going to do that, so I am out of luck.
I am bringing a laptop so I can get some work done, and more importantly watch some movies on the plane. The question is what laptop do I bring? I can take the work thinkpad. It has a DVD player, and I can play with vmware on it. I can also take my Powerbook. The powerbook also has a dvd player on it, but it also has all my personal files, and I can download and edit the photoís I take on the tirp while I am down there. It will probably be a last minute decision. Not sure what to do just yet.
Besides that I am bringing my Pocket PC just because it is handy to have around, and my digital camera. My sister is bringing theirs, but I want to bring my own anyway.
