Jamaica
The grocery store has been watching my purchases and has stopped carrying the things which I buy. Example: pita chips. I bought spinach artichoke dip and I wanted the damn pita chips but instead was forced to buy melba toast. On the bright side, I bought strawberry-cream gelatto.
I caught a ride to the airport with a friend from work, we got pulled over for speeding but she used her cuteness to not get a ticket, only a warning. I had no trouble getting to Jamaica, all flights connected and were on time, it was a miracle. The beach was beautiful. I took a banana in with me and was feeding the fish, they would swim by really fast because they knew I was trying to get them and they were right. I pretended I was a bear, I grabbed one and was so surprised that I caught him I threw him straight up in the air.
We put our beach chairs under a coconut tree, one fell down and almost smacked my mom, it just hit the edge of her chair! Those things are deadly. My brother and I took it in the water and used it as a football but we found out that it is very painful to catch a speeding coconut but continued nevertheless until it disintegrated. When it split open my brother said, "Hey, this thing smells like coconut!" I spent half the time at the beach and half at the pool bar. There were girls there and they were liking my sexiness. I went out with three of them, two were from brazil and they knew how to wear a thong. I think I was the only single guy there, the married guys were dying with envy when I showed up at the evening show with the two brazilians!
I went snorkeling with my brother, swallowed a lot more sea water than I would have preferred. There were tons of fish but not that many different varieties. Different tropical fish, some eels (eel?), a stingray... red, blue, yellow, yeah. There were cannons and an anchor down there in the reef, an old pirate ship I think, and there were caves, spooky.
We didn't make it out to the cliffs, I really wanted to go cliff diving and I would have got some great video from that but we kept putting it off and putting it off until it was too late. It was just so great at the resort and there was always something going on and we never found the time to go, I guess one week was not enough. Pictures are coming, I am relying on my parents for the photos since my camera never left the room. I did bring out the video camera one time during lunch, I am not in the video but look at the dancing girls, you might like. I regret not getting more pictures, I am so terrible about that but I'm sure my parents have some good ones and I will post them.
My first video:

A friend of mine went to brazil (marines and so e sort of consular security posting) and he came back with a wife! He is in nyc this week. Can't wait to see pictures. Will write more tomorrow. Have to finish cleaning and get ready for work tomorrow.

Roy ducked me over. He went to ac by himself And I am home with the baby. Girls weekend it looks like. I am hoping he will find a new wife. Off to bed now. How was your week back?

Why would he do that to you?!? You don't need him, you and L will have more fun without him I think. All he does is make a nuicance of himself. My week was busy, it was short and I had so many things to do playing catch up. I'm moving in 2 weeks! I still have to finish my classes and get everything ready to go, I'm glad I had a nice vacation because the next few weeks are going to be crazy. I stayed home last night, watched Lost and The Office. I decided to save electricity while in Jamaica and I unplugged eveything including my DVR so none of my shows got recorded last week. Didn't think that through properly, then I couldn't figure out why nothing recorded. Oops. Season finale of Lost was good though!

He is an idiot. Now I am not going to Turks and Caicos either. It seems we will do that in the summer.
Instead, I will be going to VA in two weeks. I will go to Williamsburg with Lu so we can watch history as it happens. Should be interesting. I really am looking forward to Busch Gardens, I have never been and heard it is great!
How is your packing and getting ready coming along?

VA with L will be fun, I hope you like it. Busch Gardens is fun too especially for L, she will love it. I'm sorry your trip got ruined.
My days are going to be so busy until I leave, it is 8 now and I haven't even had a chance to sit down yet. I'm not done with the day either, still a few hours of work to do and I need to fit dinner in somewhere. My legs are sore too because I ran hills today, I am miserable. I am starting to get excited about Japan though, we've been talking about the things we're going to do, eg climb Mt. Fuji, eat a blowfish, go to the salmon festival where you wade into the stream and catch the fish with your hands when they jump out of the water. I've got some Jamaica pics, will post them as soon as I get a chance. I hope you had a nice weekend with L.

Who is going to japan with you? I am confused now.

People from work, we have a small group who is going. Not future wives, don't worry.

Whew! I really was worried. I thought you were going by yourself.

No, no. When I went to Jamaica I was travling alone, I caught a shuttle from the airport out to the resort and was talking to a couple during the ride. She thought I was doing the trip by myself and she said, "Wow you are brave!" I told her no I am meeting my family there I am not that huge of a loser just because I am not married.
