SHAMROCK SHAKE VIDEO
This video is one of a bunch we took... but because this computer is so slow I'm only uploading this one for you to view until I get home. Wait until you see the drum circle vids and the parasailing videos! You will be blown away!
Forgot to blog yesterday... hehe - SHAMROCK SHAKES!!!
So yesterday was melancolhey... (spelling... um...) because I had a hard time staying in the day. It was that last day with the "banana split" and I was so loving driving that thing around! Boy do I miss the freedom already...
Anyways, we spent the day at Siesta Beach and had a great breakfast followed by tanning and swimming in the Gulf. The sand is crystal quartz beautifulness... bringing some home! I made a sand penguin... We also shopped and met some very nice people who gave us some GREAT deals on trinkets! Don't worry, all of you will be spoiled when I get home (lol). I bought an extra suitcase. Seriously. Worth it tho!
Went to a meeting at a beautiful AA club with Capt'n Ken and it was fantastic! Best meeting, totally relaxed and mixed up with NA, CA, AA members. No AA nazis anywhere - and the sharing was incredible - testing your sobriety/clean time. Honest and open, great people.
Afterwards, Ken invited us to go to karaoke, which Sean LOVED. He's not bad either (just don't tell him I said that hehehe...). We had a lot of fun hanging out and at the end of the evening, Ken invited us to go out on his boat the next morning for a FREE parasail and boat ride!!! WOOO!!!
Discovered that Shamrock shakes were out and Sean almost died! We videotaped it... I'm going to try to post it all.
And... now I'm going to spill into today!
We got up early and took back my bebe (the car), then went down to the docks to meet Ken. (Thanks again Aunt Jan for the lift!). And off we went with two girls from Buffalo. Because it was just us we got to fly for half an hour and saw dolphins swimming and gorgeous views. We tried doing flips in the air, but I'm just not coordianated enuf (LOL). The girls from Buffalo were awesome at it tho (skinny beautiful girls... damn). It was awesome.
Said goodbye to Kenneth after the wonderful morning and had lunch at a place where they didn't know what "au jus" meant. We had a laugh! Then came home and had a long nap!
Got up, went down to Lido to watch a beautiful sunset among the first clouds we have seen since we arrived! Then took Jan out for dinner at this gorgeous restaurant with valet parking on the water sitting along the shoreline listening to a live band and sipping virgin daquiris. What a way to end the trip!
Tomorrow, I am NOT looking forward to. Jan's friends are having a party next door for St. Paddy's and they call it "DRUNCH". Needless to say, Sean and I will probebly duck out for a meeting if possible. These women LOVE to party!
Anyhoo, enuf blogging for this evening. I'm going to try to post more pics and videos we've made over the past few days and then relax to watch a movie and read more of Twilight. You may not hear more from me until I get home because after the drunken party we leave for home around 7pm. We will probebly arrive in Hamilton around 2am Monday morning. Booo... it was great while it lasted though!
Thank you so much Aunt Jan, and Sean! I feel so grateful and blessed to have such wonderful friends in my life today. This vacation was absolutely phenomenal... thank you thank you - from the bottom of my heart!
See y'all back in the Hammer soon!
Luv, Beth

A hard day at work
Thursday
We worked so hard to day , We went to Venice beach , our goal today shark teeth and tans.
So we set out and hit the beach . As soon as we got there Beth set out to find shark teeth in the surf. 20 min. of wacthing her I decided to give her a hand . So like any Veteran traveler I told her I would be right back and then headed for the local store and baught a bag full for $5 .
I returned to see her still sifting through the sand .
I decided to have some fun and took some teeth out of the bag and act like I was finding them in the surf.
The more i would find the more pissed she would get at me . I couldn't keep this up because eventually she would figure it out and of course then kill me.
I let her in the joke and she didn't hurt me that much.
So we caught some rays and then did some shopping .
We came back home to a nice chicken diner. Got changed and headed out for some comedy.
The show was good . we got some giggles . I bought a dvd if anyone wants to see.
Then got home in time to wacth ER WHAT A *!@#en rip off.
All in all a good day of laughs.l

Just Chillin'
The day was another cloudless sunny perfect day!
We visited Venice Beach today, the most southern key we have visited so far. Venice Beach is known for people finding shark teeth, so I was excited to go. We visited Venice Inlet last weekend and saw dolphins if you recall from a previous blog.
I'm going to let Sean tell you all how he tricked me with the GD shark teeth LOL (that BASTARD!!!). It doesn't matter... my kids will be happy when I go back to work! Woooo!
We suntanned and relaxed, then went shopping! That was FUN! I now have to take a trip to walmart and get me another suitcase tho... seriously! HAHA. But I am bringing presents!!!
Had a delicious dinner with Jan, then went out to a comedy club for the evening! It was really cool, except for when they tried to card me even though we were VIP status (Jan's next door neighbour knows the owners). I still got in LOL. It's all good!
Sat and watched ER with George Clooney last night eating cheesecake with whipped cream and strawberries!
OOoooh... I got guatemalan worry people!!! They are soooo cool! I can't wait to share all of this in person with everyone! ...but I don't wanna go home either!!! Oh mann......
Blog ya later!

As serene as a buddas fart
Day 5
Today was an adventure in serenity. We went parasailing which if you have not done, is one of the most calming things one can do for themselves.
Beth and I had one of the best times . I really can't descibe the feeling a calm came over me and i started to look at things differently. the world seems to come in focus when you look at it from a birds eye view.
After we whent up I started to talk to the Capitain( KEN) . He noticed beths' service ring and asked if we were in the program. It turns out he's 18 years clean. "It goes to show we have friends everywhere" he said.
Beth waqs surprized and talk to him for a little while. He asked us to exchange numbers , i hope we talk to him a little more before we go.
Then we went for a massage . I was like puddy . I didn't think I would be able to get up afterwards.
Then we treated ourselves to a decident diner. Mmmmmm. good.
After that we really didn't want to do much else . Who would ? So we headed back home and ate cheese cake and wacth a movie.
Sounds like a self-centured day, and it was . you have to try it .
If you think it's too self indulgent well, what can i say call your sponsor. :)

BEST DAY EVER!
Um, on a scale of one to ten I would consider the day a 100 LOL.
We started off by going to Dennys for breakfast! Mmmm...
Then headed to Siesta Key for parasailing! OH MY GOD!!!
It was the greatest thing I have ever done and the "highest" I've been clean! WoOt!!! Absolutely beautiful view, 500 ft in the air above everything. The colours of the water were breathtaking and the serene sense of floating was overwhelming. I didn't want to come down!
Ooooh and I found my CABANA BOY!!! First mate on the ship! He's the guy in the red shorts if anyone is following the pictures. Its in the Parasailing Album. Yum...
Capt'n Ken (Kenneth) noticed my ring as we climbed aboard and called us over to have a ciggy at the stern while he was driving out a boatload of us. Turns out he's in recovery 18 years this month! How cool is that?! Tell me there's no Higher Power! Anyhoo, we exchanged numbers and hope to meet up within the next few days that we are here.
Ok, so after the beautiful and exhilirating experience of parasailing we went to "The Little Day Spa" for massages! Sweeeeeet! Ahhh... so relaxing!
Then hit a hot spot downtown on a patio for dinner where I had the best bruschetta in my life!
Went to Publix and bought about 5 pounds of Grits for Aine (lol, see pics). I am going to have to buy another suitcase just for those!
Also, bought cheesecake, whipped cream and strawberries to munch on at home.
Oh, and in the pics there is a small manatee swimming on my comforter in my blue/green room! I never introduced you. This is Morty the Manatee (I named him myself). He likes to stare down Sean after a long day LOL.
BEST DAY EVER!!! (teeney "orgasm" here lmfao!)
