The drawbacks have been as numerous. I obviously don’t have him to take Scout on walks / play ball / swing in the blanket / etc….. I don’t get as much adult conversation in the late night. I can’t send notes to him via Scout, that are too cute to pass up, and allow me to shirk some of my duties. There hasn’t been a constant flow of adoration and genuine compliments (oh yeah….that is in my dreams!). I don’t get to my feet rubbed every morning before he leaves to work — and NO that isn’t in my dreams — eat your heart out ladies! There are a ton of others, but one of the biggest is that I don’t have my Jeopardy/Wheel of Fortune challenge every night.
Micah is the curent world record holder, but when the subjects in one game are “Sports Venues”, “UCLA Alumni”, “Triathlons”, and “Hot Red Heads”….I guess you can call yourself the winner, but I wouldn’t wear it with as much pride as he does! Babe — when you return…..it is on! No more of this “I want my husband to feel really smart and good about himself, so I am letting him squeak out the win” stuff anymore!
Can’t wait for your safe return. And it sounds like you are having a total blast. This part of your Email made me jealous I wasn’t with you……
“yesterday we were on contadora island the whole day. we swam across the channel to the other island and it was the highlight of the trip. it´ll make for a great story and it will be totally different from each of us. basically, it was awesome like anything else where you almost die but don´t. we checked out the tide chart and talked with the locals about the currents and everything else. we were supposed to take a boat out fishing in the morning and get dropped off at the island around 8:30. we had to be finishing our swim back to contadora by 9:30 or the tide would start coming in and wipe us out to sea. unfortunately, we didn´t get into the water until 9:45 and we were swimming from contadora to the little island-against the current. we asked our boat guy, pedro, to pick us up at 11am, but nobody was there until some other people came out to snorkel at noon. so we got a ride back with them. luckily,because i never saw another boat go out there the rest of the day.
the little island was where they did tribal councils for survivor so it was cool.
we found a great restaurant that a little german lady ran on the island and they had the best food so we ate there the last two nights. the rest of the food has been mediocre.
this morning we caught our flight back to the mainland and took a cab to our hotel in the gamboa rainforest. it´s a 5star resort so it´s really nice (but not really 5-star nice). you wouldn´t believe our view of the chagres river. we just came in and had pina coladas while we were waiting for our room. then we went in our room and sat out on the hammock on the balcony during a huge rain storm. it poured for about 20 minutes, then stopped completely.
we have a quick tour of the resort tonight and a jungle cruise to monkey island tomorrow. we might end up doing another tour later in the day tomorrow, either a canopy tour or a night safari. but we also might just hang out by the pool all day, then we come home the next day.”
