I didn’t even know I NEED IT
Day 2 and it is a full day. I made sure that I packed my workout clothes so that my rhythm of walking could continue. I walk 3 miles and discover more than the fresh ocean breeze, but I discover the rest of the resort, food, shops, and lots of entertainment,
I return back to the room feeling energized and ready for the first full day of being away. Today is my girlfriends birthday; it is a birthday girls celebration getaway and so far…good times!
I take a shower and banter a bit with her getting ready for breakfast and it is still early and I am glad, this means I will have more of the day to enjoy. We leave for breakfast and I have somehow become the tour guide. As we walk I begin to point out spots we walked past on day 1; and more importantly I point out where to eat and drink.
I packed a bag before leaving the room keeping in my mind I had no plans to return to the room until dinner time; that means my bag was packed. I only wanted to wear my bathing suit, but I knew I would need my cover up otherwise I would not be able to enter some of the eateries. I also had a massage scheduled later that day and I knew that once done I would need a change of clothes, so to say the least my bag was packed.
Breakfast and there is a line, well what can you expect folks are hungry and it is all you can eat and drink. My girlfriend and I walk up to give our names and sure thing I needed to put my cover up on; no problem I am prepared…I am ready for DAY 2!
Where finally seated and we get settled, who has the first watch…the watch of our bags while the other heads to the buffet. No straws need to be drawn, it was my girlfriends birthday, but she lets me go first. I walk into the buffet area and immediately I begin to think “ok Shay don’t pile it on, you have goal; and then I giggle to myself and say, girl you on vacation; and then my legs say oh really this how we eating after your hot girl walk”. Ok, I had fruit and then asked for a egg white to order with spinach and then added a bit of cheese and bacon bits. I return to the table and now its her turn, but before she leaves she tells me someone came by to offer coffee or tea and the sky parted. The sky parted because it was in that moment I remember previous trips to this island and the blue mountain coffee is everything.
Food is good. The conversation is great. As the day goes along the heat rises; and we wrap up the conversation and head out to the shops. First stop, a jewerly store, what girl doesn’t like jewerly. We continue to walk on and my girlfriend sees a hat and we turn around and head inside the next store; easy, fun, leisure stroll.
Off to the beach, funny thing as we were headed to breakfast we stopped and picked up our towels and as we were walk they began to get heavy. Along the way we stopped and put the towels on two chairs; who knew we were actually saving our seats on the beach. We were headed back from breakfast and sure enough the towels and the chairs were waiting for us…WIN!
We hang out at the beach for several hours; I know because I am 2 shades darker. I brought my camera and tripod like I know how to capture broll; I gave a good shot “no pun” and had LOTS OF FUN!
The jerk hut opens up and I go and get lunch jerk chicken, jerk pork, hot fries, and rice and peas; everything is easy, relaxinging, and enjoyable. Did I mention the adult beverages; let me say, just enough.
The time is moving along and I get ready for massage appointment. At the time I made the appointment they told me that I could come early and enjoy the hydro pool, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi. I start my walk and then begin to think I really like one of this golf carts to pick me up. I see one out the corner of my eye; the driver is waiting to get food from the same jerk hut; I wouldnt dare ask, oh but I did. He was polite and and smiled and pointed me in the direction of the spa (LOL). I continue to walk on and all of a sudden I hear an engine pulling up behind me; yup it was him. In that moment I realized that I wasn’t needy but had my need met, you know what I mean.
I arrive at the salon and it begins…I didn’t even know that I NEEDED THIS! The hydro pool almost took me out, the sauna and steam room was HOOOOT, and I wanted the jacuzzi to myself or maybe wishing I had someone to share it with (giggle).
Three o’clock stikes and I am now lying in the relaxing lawn area when I feel a soft touch on my foot; it was my masseuse coming to get me for my massage. They lead me to a private elevator that takes me to another floor. I use the restroom one more time because I don’t want to get on the table and need to go. The room draws me, they leave the room, I get undressed and get under the sheet. They return and ….I didn’t know I NEEDED IT… back…front..head to toe… they touched every part except…
One last rub and then 3 chimes; its’ time to get dressed. As I get dressed I am thinking how do I show my appreciation for great service; not hard, you tip and let your tip express thanks.
Stay tuned
