She is the person who supported my decision to go, when she really wanted me to stay.
She is the person who makes time to talk, even if there is none.
She is the person who listens to my rants, no matter how odd.
She is the person who always remembers the important events in my life, even if I don’t.
She is the person who never forgets to say “I love you”
She helps me to be strong, confident, to work hard every day, to see the sun behind the clouds,
It is for her I am here, and it is her I miss the most

DESTINATION: Miami
DURATION: 16 Hours
The first of our rendezvous – around the time of our anniversary, we planned a quick getaway to Miami. However, due to a massive Guatemalan flight delay, what was originally going to be 2 days became 16 hours together in Miami. However, we made the best of it. We stayed in a beautiful hotel in Coconut Grove, complete with flat screen, overpriced in room bar, and whirlpool. The next morning, we had a gourmet brunch at the Rusty Pelican, then made our way over to the beach. All in all, a great 16 hours.
DESTINATION: Costa Rica
DURATION: A little longer
Costa Rica, the better planned of our vacations, gave us a little more time to rest and relax in what turned out to be the middle of the rainy season for the country. Weather aside, another great trip – some highlights include: Canopy tour, chicharones (fried pork skin), visit to the beach, animal refugee, cerviche (semi raw dish – fish / shrimp are “cooked” with lime juice), hot springs, beautiful sunsets, being able to sleep in, without the natural “rooster / dog” alarm at 5:00AM – I benefited from this last part the most.
Besides the obvious luxury of visiting places where I don’t need to carry a bottle of bleach to disinfect food, it has been special to be able to spend time with Judy. She has sacrificed more than I realize to help me have a successful experience in Guatemala. I am glad that these trips give us something to look forward to, and helps to make our time apart go by even just a little bit faster.
