- Made 3 new fabulous friends from Columbus, one of whom is EWP's gay male twin. Seriously, we are the same person. I love him.
- Celebrated Mr. EWP's bday with aforementioned new bffs at a gay club, because clearly that's what he wanted to do for his birthday. He's a good sport. (PS totally best night ever)
- Every 3 blocks in Puerto Rico, no matter where you are on the island, you will find the following: Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, and Walgreens. The Walgreens came in handy after my run in with a swarm of mosquitos while kayaking. (there are, no joke I'm not exaggerating, at least 25 ugly bites on my back and arms. I looked really hot walking around PR with calamine lotion all over my back)
- I had a love affair with my new camera resulting in over 500 pictures.
- I think I love my husband more now than before we went (I know, I'm a corny nerd, but it's true!)
- I did not take a single pair of heels with me. *gasp* *shock* *horror* I learned from my last two caribbean vacays a few months ago that heels+beach/boardwalk/islands in general = disaster. So they stayed behind. Which then made me panicked when I was going out with my new bffs to the gay club. Luckily they didn't judge me too much.
- Even on vacation, I had to make sure I was planted in front of the tv in our hotel room for the big news on J&K+8.
- Telling your hotel that it's your honeymoon leads to lots of fun goodies.
- No matter how tan my delusional husband believes he can get, if I declare it too sunny and sit under an umbrella, it's probably a good idea that he do the same. (poor, burnt, heat stroked Mr. EWP)
- It is highly embarassing valeting a crappy kia which doesn't even have automatic locks at the Ritz everyday. It never got less embarassing.
I had the best time, but I did miss all of you (even you secret readers who never post a comment. I know who you are and you better start earning your keep around here!)
xoxo,
EWP
