Catch a wave!

I think of of the things I loved the most was being in the water and then having a warm rain start to fall. It felt wonderful as it massaged my back while I snorkeled and then I would lift my head out of the water to see a magnificent rainbow. Even a few times during dinner it would rain as we ate outside and I would just turn around in circles and giggle in the rain. I love it. Scott always headed for cover. Storm blew past usually very fast. Right outside our door was this perfect beach. Perfect meaning it had something for everyone in our group. To one side Kelly and Scott could catch waves (I retired after one big wave smashed me into the sand. I am more of a in the water rather than on the water type of girl. Plus I am kind of sissy and do not like pain or risk). Teri is terrified of fish and water but for the first time she enjoyed just floating in the gentle waves. When we snorkeled together she would grab a hold of my arm and squeeze so tight I lost the feeling. But i was proud of her efforts and I think she kind of liked it. Lynda and Neal loved to sit and read or watch the ocean surrounded by lush tropics. I loved the assortment of fish and the number of them. We swam with sea turtles and seals. The turtles are little little dudes just like in Nemo. They totally love to catch a wave and poke their heads out to watch us frolic. How nice is it to walk back to the shower and not have ride in a car first? The only other time I loved snorkling so much was at black rock in Maui when we stayed at the Sheraton and could aso walk right to the beach. I was very glad to have my Arbonne sun screen which when I have used it and reapplied it I have never once been burned. I use the Arbonne baby spf30. I try to put it on 30 minutes before exposure to the sun and reapply every hour or sooner. Works like a charm. I have 2 clot options white or red. I never mastered the beautiful tan look so I keep to my shade loving sunscreen wearing plan. Scotty however got some sun and look adorable with that blond hair big brown eyes and a healthy looking glow. Thanks to Sherilyn who warned me about the sea urchins which I saw lots of I never went with out my water shoes or fins. I did get stung one day. By a bee! I was in the middle of the ocean and a bee dive bombed my bum and wow did it hurt. I screamed and cried. Scott went under to see what it was and the bee was still stuck to me and drowning. I am allergic to bees so we then waited to see if I would react. It had been years since my last sting. nothing happened the first day except a huge 6 inch welt and pain. The next day it was sore and itchy so i rubbed it in the shower really good. Bad idea I puffed up. Teri kind of freak and called Scott who was fishing and said I was blowing up before her very eyes. I started to cough a little but did not have to see a doctor:) Anti swelling drugs and not rubbing helped a bunch. I LOVE the water. One day we also went to this place called Lydgate Park where they also had excellent snorkeling. I saw 20 plus under water crabs there. They looked like big spiders so I swam away not wanting to get pinched. The fish were huge and Scott pointed out some eels.
