I did eventually return and tried to fall back asleep, but no such luck. I'm not entirely sure what time zone my body is functioning on at this point, and it will be interesting to see how we adjust back to Pacific time.
After breakfast, we decided to take one of the kayaks around the island. We admired the blue waters and deftly maneuvered ourselves around an entire island. How 'bout them mangoes? As of yet, our arms are not protesting too much from this excursion. After coming back ashore, we decided to walk a bit around the island again and ended up sitting under on the beach for a spell.
After grabbing some lunch, we spent the rest of the afternoon just relaxing or vegging out, which incidentally is how you could describe Nicole's eating since we've arrived. For whatever reason, everything we order here contains lots of vegetables. Nicole ordered a quesadilla that only contained vegetables, and no cheese. Anyway, we had already arranged a late checkout and boat pickup around 6:00pm, but this did not seem to matter a whole lot as some workers were lingering outside our hut as if to hurry us along. I suppose it worked. We boarded a boat at 5:30.In the end, this didn't really serve us well as we've now been told to wait more than an hour outside security at the airport until our tickets can be released. Standby travel is . . . complicated. Anyway, it has been quite a "honeymoon," one for the books. There have been so many different parts of this trip, it should make for an interesting analysis. We had very different experiences at each stop, each providing us with a new country to pin on the map. While it may seem like we've been hopping around a lot, it has actually felt very relaxed with not a lot of rushing around. I think it's fair to say, however, that this will be our last flight leg for this trip . . . I think.
