The Travel-Bug Got Me!
I guess ever since my trip to Ghana I've come to realize that I am willing to spend my last dime on travel expenses. I going to meet up with my brother in Grenada this X-Mas. He's helping my dad fix up his house there. A little feminine touch couldn't hurt. Anyway, I'll get to hang out with him for a week before he goes back. That should be great. Grenada is a beautiful island and I haven't got to go back since 1994. My grandma was still alive then. I miss her. She was / is an inspiration.
Well, it's kind of funny that the memorable moments I have of my last trip was when my brother got bit by "sea-ants" (don't ask me what they are but their sting burns like all hell). Anyway, we were all in the ocean, him, my sis, his friend Luca, etc., remember kids at the time, and all of the sudden he starts screaming loud a semi-high-pitched tone. Of course everyone is close to panicking at that point and wondering if this boy just got bit by a massive sea creature. I ended up having to pull him out and onto the shore. And of course he looked pretty dishevelled by that point. My dad and uncle passed it off as, "oh, just sea-ants" and they kept him out of the water till he calmed down Anyway, guess you had to have been there. I'll be sure to bring it up when I see him.
