Leaving on a jet plane...........

Don't know when I'll be back again! Well, I do...but one can only dream. We are headed to Belize in exactly one week. I was talking to Luke the other day, and I think he felt like we wanted to get away from him! Boy, did I clarify that one! No way would I ever want to get away from my kids...I may want to feel an escape from situations they have been in, but if I could afford it , they would be coming along. It is really nice for John and I to go off by ourselves, I think it helps remind us who we are as a couple. I also want to escape the bleakness and gray of Ohio winter. The lack of color in nature this time of the year is very hard for me to tolerate. I also need to escape the attachment to my ear called my cell phone. On Caye Caulker, it will be useless. I am a bit worried about my kids not being able to contact me, but it is a very small island and they can e-mail, and leave messages with the office to our rental. I almost panic when I leave my cell phone behind, and I really need to get over being so easily accessible. I also need to relax, and be detached from driving everywhere, I plan on doing an experiment, and logging how many miles I drive in one week, I think it would be shocking! On Caye Caulker, there are no cars, only bikes, and golf carts. The air must be really clean, the island does not have high rise buildings, or factories, so I can imagine the pollution must be very minimal. Maybe we will move there! No heating bills, no car insurance, no gas, no shoes , no cell phone!!!! Read the sign!!! ( it is actually on the island as you arrive!)

Nice that you and John could get away. I was thinking about a trip to Florida during the winter but then chickened out. Happy Easter!
