Life Upside Down

Looked something like a chain of tiny islands accessible only by boat

diving and snorkeling on the daily

a beautiful sprawling 1950s beach cottage full of verandas and outdoor living spaces

turquoise, cerulean waters

a cousin-to-cousin family reunion the likes of which hasn’t happened since 2007

gourmet cooking every evening courtesy of Uncle Dave

lots of mysterious bites and bumps- mosquitos, jellyfish, sun poisoning

transportation via golf cart

a very adequate amount of fruity cocktails- goombay smashes, margaritas and Caipiroskas

boat-up beach bars with names like Lubber’s Landing and Nipper’s

lobster dinners

giant bugs

new old friends

mother-brother-sister-sister-cousin-uncle love, lots of love.
