Did the monkeys "attack" you on the beach? they did when we were there. Maybe that's why you hung bags in the trees earlier.

In honor of my running group..
Team Sloth
We'll get there when we get there!
Linda KohlWhat a wonderful idea on how to find your car days later. Hope the weather is great. Say hi to your mom; I miss her. Now, if only you'd post more pictures :(
Linda KohlDecided to re-post this after I read your LV response:
Linda KohlOH, I get it. You're going to do what I did. I don't blame you waiting til the trip is over to post. I needed 3 weeks after the trip to get my act together. And, besides, who wants to take time away from the vacay to write up notes instead of enjoying yourself.
PelancongLove the pic from the plane! Miss you!
