Hi Honey! I'm Home!
Oh my goodness, what a fabulous week I've just had! David and I took off for a week in Tenerife - a week of absolutely grueling work laying by the roof-top pool with views of mountains on one side and the ocean on the other while drinking beer, reading and working on our tans. Of course I added to that by jumping in the pool occasionally. In the evenings we kept on working by walking along the beach, eating fabulous meals and drinking in Spanish bars.
I didn't even take time off last weekend. I sat in the Sports Cafe in Las Americas drinking amaretto and Coke while watching the US Grand Prix. That is unbelievably hard work! We played pool in there another night, only the third time I've ever really played. Of course I lost to the shark (bastard!) but he had to admit that I'm better than he thought I would be so I just need to practice. He claims I'll never beat him though. Yeah, we'll see about that ...
The only day we didn't spend by the pool was on Wednesday when we jumped on a boat in search of dolphins and/or whales. We were told we were guaranteed to at least see whales but we were really lucky and saw a large school of dolphins. They have never been hunted in that area so they came right up to the boat!
I had tried to hide a secret from David but in the airport on the way out my secret was out. We were in the departure lounge when it was announced "Could passenger Knowles travelling to Tenerife please go to the Special Assistance desk?" Well that was it. For the rest of the trip David told me I couldn't help it if I have special needs and that it's good to be special! (Don't you laugh, Lindsey! He's decided you have special needs too which is why you and I get on so well!) Obviously it wasn't me they were calling to the desk but a different passenger who was on crutches, but I've been branded for life now!
I have to highly recommend the hotel where we stayed, the Costa Adeje Gran. It was beautiful! Okay, the entertainment in the evenings was more amusing than spectacular, but it gave us a laugh. One of the lounge entertainers sang "It's a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong in a voice that sounded more Yoda or Fozzie Bear than Louis Armstrong, so David and I decided that they were playing our song, but it only counts if Fozzie Bear sings it!
We do have a few photos that I will post as soon as I can get the cable to David's camera (he left me the camera but my cable doesn't fit it). I will edit one of the photos so I can post it. The first full day we were there I forgot to top up my sunblock on the backs of my thighs after I'd been sitting down for a while, so when I flipped over I got a bit of a burn which was hysterical after I took my bikini off. My ass was bright white and my legs bright red!
So we had seven days of hard work but we must be a pair of workaholics because we've decided to go to Portugal later this year and do it all over again! Since I hope to be doing LOTS of traveling over, well, the rest of my life really, I've started a travel blog with a map and all that on it:
