decompression~ day one & two

hi fellow friends & family~
day one and i did not realize how much i needed these 2 days between my life in Santa Barbara and my life starting tomorrow on the ship for the next 4 months!  day one was transition day with an early 0415 alarm and ride to the airport at 0445 (thx to dru, my cabby at that hour!),  4 airports, 2 taxis we got to our destination-nassau, bahamas…i was uncomfortable all day long, tired, short of breath, a bit dizzy and ready to be on land…we arrived at the hotel  at 2200 and were in bed within 20 minutes! It took me awhile to fall asleep, but then as i settled into decompression day one, i became one with the wonderful sheets and down pillow and I was out like a light…
day two, i woke up with a refreshed sense of myself, ready to make decisions like what beach chair to choose, which way to face the chair, the beautiful beach or the gorgeous pool
and what fru~fru drink would i like for an afternoon snack? the day was filled with magazine reading, ocean dips, walks on the beach and fruit snacks…mom and i had dinner at the black angus restaurant in the hotel. mom decided to drop a few dollars at the casino next door and i hung out with some sasers.  we stayed up to skype with my sister, niece and brother in law tonite and went to bed in anticipation of the next day and being on the ship. It was an amazing day ~running into sasers everywhere all day long, slowin down the heart rate and decompressing some more…
 home tomorrow,  home tomorrow, home tomorrow… worldlyheart ro on land and soon to be at sea
