Perseverance and Positive Thinking

 My goodness it has been a day or two since I was even logged in.  The last time I tried it didn't work. I am so surprised I got this to work......But yeah!!!  Equally as long since we have been able to travel.  

Everyone from the airline to the hotel has been diligent regarding health and safety.  I had a great chat with the flight attendants.  They for sure have taken a lot of crap trying to keep the public safe and I for one appreciate it and them and their efforts. 

We arrived late afternoon yesterday. Customs was a breeze.  We zipped right through.  Getting our luggage was another story.  It was over an hour waiting.  It wasn't just us either.  Several flights before us were waiting as well.  But we prevailed and got ALL our luggage.  We really didn't have to wait long for our ride to the hotel which was nice as it had been a long day.   It was surprising how much the hotel has changed and how much has stayed the same.  We were a little disappointed that even though we had our reservation for 6 months, we were given a downgrade.  The room did not have any of the amenities we have as part of our membership and no balcony.  But we decided to have a good attitude and think positively and we went and talked to the front desk manager. He did some checking and magically found a room for us with the amenities and a large balcony.  It was wonderful!  The power of positive thinking definitely worked.  We got moved to the new room late this afternoon.

We spent most of the day at the beach. It is crazy how full the place is. It is never this busy this time of year.  That is why we pick this time of year. I guess with the travel restrictions lifted and the fact a lot of folks can work anywhere it has had an impact on it.  Times they have changed.  It is so full, we had a hard time finding a lounger but again positive thinking worked and we found one.   It was really windy and cloudy this morning but by noon the clouds blew away and it was a nice bright day.  

Art brought his guitar and it is so sweet to listen to him play in this beautiful setting. It is supposed to rain the rest of the week so we are going to hold good thoughts that we will have some sun.  We have had good luck with the positive thoughts so far.............
