hee. my baby and i are such bums. we'd meant to take the 130am bus to Tampico, get there at 8am, spend the whole day at the beach then take the night bus back home.
That was the plan.
Then we spent the whole day bumming at home- him playin computer games; me watchin the last season of SATC...
over dinner... both of us were commenting abt how lazy we felt; neither daring to suggest not going to Tampico.
hee. finally- I won! he mentioned it first... but turns out both of us arent too keen. and we shall spend tomorrow bumming around more... and maybe going bowling.
sigh. i've already said so many goodbyes to my already... but somehow none of those goodbyes compared to today's.
the final goodbyes. the final hugs. the final kisses.
as i walked away, i couldn't stop the tears from falling.
Goodbye Luis. (El Presidente/Dictator!) I'll always remember you for my first frisbee battle scar. You've led our team well....and I'm quite sure the club's gonna grow leaps and bounds under your leadersip.
Goodbye Andreas. :) I'm glad we broke the you+me=losing team curse today. Your kindness and generousity will be forever etched in our hearts.
Goodbye Hector. I'll always remember your deadpan jokes and your shy smile. (Ansen will be dreaming of your carne asada for many more years to come.) You're one of the ones I'll miss the most. I only wish you'd been there during the last two trainings.
Goodbye Bobby. What can I say? I'm quite sure I'll never meet another American who loves the French the way you do. heh. Complaints abt MExican beaurocracy, Risk, MP3s and of course the shouts of,"Come on! Catch that frisbee!" will always remind me of you.
Goodbye Chava/Jorge/Sebas/Adrianna/Tonio/Victor/Ricardo/Angel/the other Andreas and all those with names I can't spell.... I'll really miss you guys.

BAHAMAS
Yup, spent the last 4 days on cruise from Miami to Bahamas. Unfortunately; because of the choppy waves we were unable to visit the first island we were supposed to (Cococay)... but we got to go snorkelling at the Rainbow Reef in Nassau. Man, it was SO cool. no digi-fotos there... Hopefully our underwater camera didn't suck... might scan in some photos once they're developed.
sucky weather so didnt get much sun.. :( sigh. but the cruise was fun... lotsa good food, crappy/crazy/fun activities and... of course; the gorgeous carribean sea!
would love to go back there and go island-hopping one day. :)
**photos to come**
After the cruise, we had one day to kill in Miami. So, we basically spent the whole day shopping at Bayside... (shopping area overlooking the sea. where CSI Miami and Bayside-The Show and Miami Vice was filmed).
God indeed works in wonderous ways. We were so dead broke after the cruise (literally no money in our wallets!).... but we had a whole day left.... so we HAD to go to Bayside. Anyways, we went to the tourist booth to ask for info but they just kept trying to sell us tour packages (which we obviously couldnt afford). Whilst walking away; the lady called us back and said that if we were just tryin to kill time; we could get a $50 Hard Rock voucher and a 3d/2n getaway voucher for attending a time-share talk. (something like those MLM recruitments.)
We figured why not since we had no money for lunch anyway. heehee. convinced her to give us $50 cash instead. To get it; we had to lie to the recruiters that we were over 24yrs; MARRIED; earned more than $40k a yr and were open to buying property. The woman got her commission; we got our 50 bucks (and wasted 2hrs listening to the agent) and the company..... well they got nothing. =D
sadly; within 15mins of "earning" our 50bucks, we blew it at a shoe sale! Ansen bought $30 brown formal shoes whilst i got $15 flat pointy-toes. :D so cheap right?!
(in the end... went to draw money from an ATM.)
all in all; a pretty good trip. i *heart* Bahamas! and also.... i *heart* my baby... had a lovely time on the cruise with him. :)
**trip updates** the belize trip is cancelled! too expensive la... but... may go Cancun instead to get some much-needed sun!
