It was time for snorkeling. Rounding up a group of twenty friend and family was challenge we accomplished by simply starting off with a mass text, “Leaving for Shark’s Cove at 10am.” And then we were off, in our little subgroups. Room after room left without the need to caravan with one another. We just...
It’s not often you can get all your friends and family together. Especially when you grow older and time becomes more of a precious commodity.
