When You Know You Know
Day 3 and the light and shine and fun and food is still full throttle.
I am thinking about the commitment it must take for me to be on vacation and still be committed to wake up like I am at home. Only God knows and I just say thank you.
I have been on a journey and I have lost track of the days since I have been away; that is actually a great thing, it means that I am not keep track of the day but being present and enjoying every moment.
I come and sit out on the balcony for longer than I thought considering how hot is was and the bugs was loving this sweet smelling body; not sure how because I had not had a shower after my walk.
I love sitting with me, the thoughts and quiet are more than I could imagine. As I sit the thoughts of me being here, writing, looking out at the water, thinking about what is waiting for me at home…I’ll save that for another time.
I hear the staff “Yeah Man”...hostpitality on 10. Food great! Drinks great! Conversation Great!
I am away with a friend and we both are finding what we need to make the trip enjoyable and we come together when it feels natural; it is perfect. She is married and I am single I would be silly if I thought she and I would have the same experience.
I come in from the balcony and she is sitting on her bed and ask “so what you ready to do?” I replied “I am thinking about room service”. She jumps up from her bed and hugs me. The hug lingers for a moment because I could sense that she didn’t want to go out for breakfast and me suggesting we have room service meant that we would hang together; she is one the best women I know and I want to be a good friend.
I am now ready for a shower. She is taking my order…french toast, pancakes, bacon well, coffee, mimosa…I just want a taste of everything, no intention of eating it all; again I just finished my hot girl walk (LOL).
Prito to the food arriving we were discussing Sunday’s while on vacation. I shared with that I would stream or catch the replay. I could tell she wanted to have Sunday service; so I grab my iPad and search for my church; internet acting up, but we got it together.
Worship begins, the room feels light, there is a knock at the door “room service”. My girlfriend gets up and lets the staff member in. There is enough food for at least 5 people. The staff and my girlfriend lay the food on the dresser; because of course all my stuff is sprawled over the dining table; I told you I changed my suitcase and packed like I was staying for a month.
We eat and continue to watch the service online.
Service ends and my girlfriend and I continue to reflect and discuss the message. The day continues moving on. I look out the patio doors and I spot 2 chairs by the pool. Oh no, someone is heading towards the chairs. We still prepare to put our swimsuits on and head out. By the time we were heading out 2 more people had sat in the same chairs. We walk towards the pool and both scanning for 2 chairs, BINGO we see 2 chairs, not in an ideal spot, but we make it work…no complaining we are on vacation!
Music is pumping, bubbles are filling one side of the pool; we stay on the side of the pool where the seasoned and laid back adults are,but in enough proximity to still hear and be part of the vibe. I get in the pool and realize I need an assistant to follow me around and catch broll; who do I think I am; Shay Shay and its okay for me to want someone to capture in the moment with me and…I call my girlfriend over and she begins to snap and return. And then as good friend would do; it’s her turn and I do the same for her, snap, turn, snap, turn, and waive. I am thinking we both could invest in a waterproof camera.
The temperature continues to rise and we both are feeling a bit parched, time for a drink. We gather our things and begin to head down to the barracuda (a little spot) to sit away from the sun and refresh…lovely. We don’t stay long because as we are headed down we spot 2 chairs on the beachfront; BINGO twice in one morning!
We get our drinks and then hang out at the beach until we turn another shade.
It begins lightly rain, and then it feels like larger and faster drops, we don’t move right away because it feels sooo good. Then finally we gather our things, we were more concerned about our things getting wet than our hair; good sign.
Back to the Baracuda we go. We take 2 chairs that are on the patio area and bring them under the hut closer to the bar area; great proximity to sit and stay dry but still out and enjoying.
All of a sudden, we hear YEAAAAAAH! We turn a look over and the bartender turned on the Chiefs football game; who knew unbeknownst to us we would end up at Sunday football party; at least that is what it turned into. The Cheifs won 16 - 14 against the Broncos. Now I see a man walking in a green jersey; this is a real fan. Who packs their football jersey to wear on a sunday while in Jamaica; A REAL EAGLES FAN! Boy I know what REAL EAGLE FANS look like, smell, and what they were on game day. Eagles and Cowboys game is starting soon.
YEAAAAAAH! YEAAAAAAH! YEAAAAAAH! YEAAAAAAH! YEAAAAAAH! YEAAAAAAH! YEAAAAAAH! YEAAAAAAH! Is erupting at the Barracuda; clearly all Eagle Fans. At least that is what it appeared, it could have been the Dallas fans were just a little quiet. Eagles win 34 - 6 against Cowboys. I could only imagine all the Eagle fans back in the states; we fly into Philly later this week.
Day 3 and so much more…stay tuned…the evening has not even been told; and time was had, for sure!
