Roatan - not worth stopping at.....it was depressing and it rained so I didn't get to Sea Kayak (boo hiss), but I did discover the spa has a great water treatment room that I can use anytime for $75 - it is pure heaven (hoo ha!). I couldn't stop staring at myself after my hour is hyro heaven.....I looked so relax - something I hadn't seen in on my face in a good long time. They will ahve to pull me kicking and screaming from the spa on Sunday - wait taht would ruin the good calm - they will have to pull me from my peaceful protest when we land ho.
The boat seems very excited that Obama won.....and people seem surprised, which surprises me. Leslie is glued to the big screen tv - I went to a musical review ("Sea Legs" HA! they crack me up with these titles). I think some people get annoyed by teh fact that I am not passionate one way or another about a canidate. I'm a big picture kinda gal...will this canidate keep my life similar too or better than my current life situation. No one has stirred the political passion in me, I've never wanted to go out and campaign for anyone, donate any money or get in huge fire breathing debates. Which is why, I annoyed this lady I sat next to last night. After the Sea Legs show, I walked back to the big atrium where CNN was on the screen and a large chunk of the boats population was situated. I was able to snag a seat at the bar to watch Obama's acceptance speech. The lady next to me was clearly not thrilled about the outcome and kept making loud references to having to move to Italy if she ever got a brain tumor because the US was heading to a socialist hell. When she found out I voted for Obama it became a game of 20 questions of why. References to me drinking the Kool aid were made and she asked if I felt bad that I wasn't black. When i answered no to both she kept the questions coming. Now I liked McCains approach in 2004 - but not thrilled with him in 2008 and picking Palin was the nail in the coffin for me. When I told her that she asked if I didn't like Palin because she was prettier than me. And that is when I decided this bitch was going down with my mental mind warp power. I was going to make her mind explode with blase answers to her questions.....and it worked. I won't bore you with teh whole conversation but the best was when she told me that we were all going to lose our jobs because of Obama and I said that was OK because I have 3 jobs and losing one would still allow me to pay my mortgage like a responsible adult. And when she brought up that she and her husband (who already pay over $200K in taxes...and they were finacial planners, obviously not good ones eh??? Hide that money!!) would ahve to pay more taxes and aren't I upset that I would have to pay more taxes - I told her that actaully with Obama in office my taxes would go down. Seriously, I think I saw smoke come out fo her ears and heard "does not compute"
In other enws, I find myself being very Daddy like. I am happy typing on teh computer - reading my book adn ignoring people. However, people seem drawn to me (naturally) and keep coming up and chatting. Now I am a good chatter for sure, but I would much rather be reading or sunning or sipping my drink.
Today is Belize, off to put on my swimsuit and get ready to photograph teh fishies.
Oh and Lovely Lisa may be going to Spain next week....maybe i will jsut tag along and extend my vacation by a few days. ole!
