Sadly, this is our last day on the island, and I'm not ready to go home yet. Funny, because we've been here 8 days. You'd think I would have had my fill of island relaxation, but no. Last year, when we spent 4 days in Cabo, I was ready to go home on the last day, even though I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. In reflection, that's probably because I could not see myself actually living in Mexico.
I built a house in Mexico once. Even considered retiring there. But now, not so much. It's a good thing that my ex is saddled with that property, providing the Mexicans haven't shot him yet, but if they did, he would have done something to deserve it.
I am looking forward to going back to work. I haven't answered my cell phone for 8 long days nor listened to voice mail, but that's because I know my associate is handling my stuff. She's already shown a bunch of homes to a buyer for me, fixed a plumbing problem for another client and who knows what else has gone on in my absence; perhaps she has also written an offer or two for me. She sent me an email asking what I put in my purchase contracts, so it's likely.
Fireworks are huge in Hawaii on New Year's Eve. Here is a photo from last night, and a few more from yesterday, including the location where they found the dinosaur eggs in Jurassic Park:
