I agree with you 100% - DH served in the Royal Air Force for 30 years & I have to say I loved every minute of it.
I really miss the tours to different places & countries. The hardest part of all was when we finally settled in Nottingham so the boys could concentrate on their schooling & there I was after 5 years wanting (or possibly subconciously wanting to more on again LOL).
Yes my life has been a real buzz of an experience.

Anyhow on a slightly different tangent - Terri your island is amazing I wanna come visit (A ploy to get my quilt back HE HE) :lol: :lol: :lol:

I wouldn't want to leave it looks like paradise. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Tisha :wink:

Terri, what a beautiful place! The colors in the water were so pretty. I chuckled when you said you were tired of driving in circles - never thought of an island that way. LOL Are there any parrots flying around there?

I do have to say I like the four seasons, but since I have balance problems, I am afraid of winter in New England, because I usually fall on ice and snow at least once a winter - then I am afraid to go outside again.

Tisha...no worries, I will do your center and pass it on. I cannot guarantee that Patti won't try to keep it. lol

No, Beachlady, there are no parrots here. Not alot of birds because of the snakes here. The snakes eat all the eggs. The other day I was watching a chicken (momma) with her 8 babies. Saw her again today and she only had 4. Snake usually gets the babies at night time. :(
The birds I do see are brown sparrows, pigeons and egrets. That's it...oh yea, and these blackbirds that come out around this time of year and dive bomb you when you are walking.

I do love the winter...don't like the slippery ice tho. Have had my fair share of spills on them...ouchy!

Awe, love your photos Terri! The very last photo of the banana trees, looked absolutely like paradise! We had a heat wave last week, and it hit 110F, but we had no paradise to go with the heat, only smog, tons of smog from the heat! lol :)

Terri

Love, Love your pictures. Always do, you take great photos. Thanks for
sharing.
Now when people ask about my summer vacation plans, I can tell them I have already taken a tour of Guam and just don't know where I will be going next (have to wait and see where you are off to).

Well, tell them you are getting ready to go to Australia. I'm in the middle of planning a trip there at the moment. That is IF I don't kill my family first! :)
