I find myself dreaming about living in the same fishing village in Mexico that I lived in 20 years ago. I wake up and I want to shout "Yes! I can't wait!" I worry that I will be disappointed when I get there. The good news is that we don't HAVE to stay there. We will be 'footloose and fancy free' and able to go wherever we want to go. So I keep a list of those places that seem most promising.
While I yearn for a beach, warm water to swim in and the cool sand that makes up the beaches in the Yucatan, I then think: "Who am I kidding? Do I really want to venture out on a beach at 66 years of age in my granny bathing suit?" There is a big difference in venturing out on a beach in your 40's and then showing up in your 60's!
I have to stop and remind myself that it doesn't have to be all about the beach. I can just simply enjoy the laid back lifestyle, find a comfortable hammock and read a book with the soft gentle breeze and sounds of the Caribbean wafting over me. Sounds like heaven to me. I can still smell what it feels like. If that doesn't make sense to you, then you have never been there, done that. I have and I must say that I can't wait to go back.
And I also look forward to going to sleep every night so that I can dream about 'Mi Caribe' and all that awaits us when we get there. Es muy tranquilo en la Yucatan. Mi alma es aya...
Buenos noches mi amigos, hasta manana o otra dia....
