RE: Just the little things

in The MINIMALIST3 years ago

Hey there!😁
Wow, that was a lot of travelling.
We were in Jamaica from November to February; It was great to reunite with my parents. Only disappointed that there was so much negative happening on the island, and my parish was under a state of emergency for most of the part. I really hope that things will improve on that island.

Yes, Egyptians than to have 2 names:) I was surprised to find how lovely-natured they are. They are pushy with selling everything under the sun, but they have a jovial and engaging way of it. I found them more pleasant than how the Moroccans were.

We are worth the fuss and it feels nice!

Yes indeed! I always feel that we can take the time to treat ourselves and feel good about things. I love using nice tablecloth, fresh flowers too. Why not?

We absolutely loved Egypt and make great connections there. In Cairo, right across from the pyramids. It was great to have the guys meet us at the airport.

It would have been nice if we were in Jamaica at the same time. Another time maybe, and hopefully the island will be in a better state.

It's still cold and miserable here in the UK. It's been a long winter. Two years ago when we returned at this time, it was much warmer and more like Spring. Even last year too, so we hope that it will warm up pretty soon 💞 🌸

Pfft. I need to stop commenting when I am tired. I went to check* and you were long gone. But, we weren't allowed there at the time. I have got to bow down to the State Department's words: A high degree of caution in Jamaica due to the high level of violent crime.

I am always sorry to hear that anywhere. Usually, lately, places have been canceled due to high outbreaks of Covid, but, high levels of crime, especially when violence has been ongoing in many places. Covid has really hit the islands hard. I could go on and on about how tourism is a double-edged sword, it harms more than helps.

Anyway... It sounds like you got some good family time in. You stayed a long time!!! I love the beautiful vibe of the Jamaican people, but, what has happened in the last few years? 😭

I am surprised at how cold and rainy and snowy (yes! that too!) many parts of the US are experiencing right now. I live in a banana belt, so we usually have what I consider nicer temperatures.

Thank you so much for being the ray of sunshine that you are.
