Let me go back to, what we have dubbed "The Best President's Day Ever". Seriously, it was the best. Ever.
I had returned from my Mexican adventure over the weekend. It was about 10:30am on Monday when the girls rolled up out front and invited me to lunch at the Roadhouse. (ok, so maybe they said "come drink with us at the Roadhouse", I don't clearly recall.) So, off we went to have some tots and a beer.
Well, we decided on a 2nd beer and some hummus, then a Maker's Mark...or two. The bartender brought over a 30 year old bottle of scotch and convinced us that we needed a glass of that too! Why not!! After another drink or three, we headed for the nail salon and pedicures, then back to the Roadhouse for another beer. It was President's Day, we were celebrating!
Sometime in the middle of our party, Mary got a text from her friend Lars saying he couldn't make their planned trip to the Bahamas in a couple of weeks. He was very sorry. (shout out to Lars....I love you!) I would say it took Carla and I about 17 seconds to agree to taking his spot on the trip. Not only is this a trip to the Bahamas, but it is 5 days on a 66 ft private yacht that Mary's friend owns. (notice that Mary has some incredible friends, other than the Orenco girls.) The yacht is moored at a very small remote island. It really didn't take much convincing us! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
So, this afternoon I will board a plane with my 3 besties and head out on our next adventure. It is an all night flight into Maimi so we can catch the commuter plane to Eleuthera Island, where we catch a water taxi to our little piece of paradise, Harbour Island....home of the world famous pink sand beach.
Photos and stories upon my return!
