The World Keeps on Spinning

Apparently the world does not stop when I go on vacation, particularly my work world, seeing as how the work just kept piling up while I was gone and now it is a big frickin’ hassle and really, someone should look in to that. I have better things to do when I get back from vacation. Like starting to plan my next one.

On a grander scale, I think the universe is aligned in a funky way these days. Big, big things are happening. Some good, some bad. But recently I feel like the world has changed drastically, although not MY world, exactly, so much as the world around me. There has just been a lot of big news, not all of which I can share. The situation in Myanmar is certainly the biggest and the scariest to watch, even from here. But more locally there are babies and weddings as well as some sadder stories, and it all seems to be colliding into just the past 72 hours or so. Is anyone else experiencing this as well?

And were basically devastated to leave paradise. It feels like it was all just a dream.

The world is a tough place to come home to.

Why won't they listen to us about how to make it a better place?

Rum all around!

It's always difficult to return to "real life" after living in a magical vacation bubble. On the upside, your hair is looking absolutely smashing in that first photo!!

Is that the waterfall at Ochos Rios? Because if it is, I totally climbed it, too (after disembarking from one of those cruise ships). Another reason we're the same person!

Love the pics. I just got back from Belize myself. It really does feel as if things are so much bigger and crazier. Are they, or did we just disconnect from them for a bit?
