Caribbean Blue

July 15, 2006 at 8:51 am (J333)

That should be a color, Caribbean blue, because the ocean water has a distinct hue that I don’t see in Southern California. We are heading back to Miami now, and will arrive into port at 8am on Sunday. It’s been a good trip. Sam has had a fun time. Here onboard with us are a number of relatives: Muslimah, Akilah, Zola, Kaia, Aziza, Asha, Akhenaton, Kalonji, and Adia, along with family friends Karyn, Ilene, Shelby and Somer. Yesterday we finally got to the beach, at Costa Maya in Mexico (300 kilometers south of shattered Cozumel) and had a proverbially good time. No, I did not ride a jet ski. I’ll get my chances at another time. We did sit at water’s edge, splashing around with the kids, fending off the beachfront massage vendors, and eating fried lobster (mmm). Micah has had a great time, too. Heard from back home – evidently it’s been really hot back in the hood (literally, not figuratively). We’ve had our share of the plenteous cruise food (it’s everywhere) and hopefully today Sam will finally slide down the two-story, ship-top water slide. I’m surprised that he wants to do it, he’s normally afraid to try such things. I’m not sure he knows what he’s getting into. But I think I’ll go first, ahead of him, and be waiting for him at bottom. I’ll be the first to see if he cries tears or hollers, “Again!”

    I think you have something good going here. I run a webpage called ” Fun In The Sun ” from Daytona beach. I see you’re from Miami, (Yeah ! ). I’m still trying to get my website working correctly. Those PSP’s & JavaScript are somewhat critical to try and get them functional.
    anyway’s, let me know what your email address is so I can put you on my email list for ” Fun In The Sun ”
    Basically my e-zine contains a song (changes daily) today is Enya, Caribbean Blue (1992), or an oldie, by the Drifter’s, Temptations, Buddy Holley, Frankie Valley, Four Tops, or from a list of hundreds of others from the 1930’s to mid 70’s. It also has the cartoon script ” Garfield ” O’ yes it’s the classic script by Jim Davis. Yes you remember Jon, Garfield (of course), Odie, and his never ending quest to get a date with Ellen. Also a little funny stuff like an ongoing oxymoron list ( A daily list of 20 continuing oxymoron’s) along with “Dumb Criminals “)
    And along with that we have temperature cubes that shows live temperatures from selected cities around the nation. Then finally ” Animated Weather Maps ” especially
    during the hurricane season. Close-up views (live) of weather disturbenances in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and Eastern Atlantic to show the progression of hurricanes should any be there
