Just like the piles of stones for the OT's Jacob marked major occurances in his life, Mike and I wanted to mark his selling his company/ retiring from alternative energy world full time stressful working with our own pile of stones... a fun seven to nine day getaway. I'd been lloking at websites and travel blogs for weeks, couldnt find the perfect place. I wanted the balance of exotic, fun, festive, not too expensive, but luxury. And also, as it was getting hot in Winter Park, I didn't want too hot.
What a lot of pressure. Finding the one perfect place. When planning the wedding three years ago, I managed my stress level by reminding myself "there are many options that will be fabulous, just find one of those many." And with colleges, " there are many that you will like and be the right fit for you, just choose a few and see who chooses you."
Well, I finally listened to my own advice. " There are many resorts that are fabulous, just choose one of the many." Within an hour I pulled the trigger on Bermuda... sweater weather, Mike's never been, great golf, luxury hotel w villas and balcony overlooking Castle Harbor, British like Downton Abbey. Preseason rooms are half price.
Yesterday it was cool when we arrived. I was abit nervous it wasn't elegant / exotic enough. And would Mike's softball finger injury be healed enough for golf. Well, dinner last night was delicious, cards afterwards in bar, spectacular golf w wild roosters today. Yoga in room overlooking harbor. And in a few minutes we try out the motorized bikes. Ah! This is pretty, pretty good!
