Update on the trip

I have been avoiding telling all of you this, but here goes.

We did not go to Bike Week, Daytona Beach and Key West as we had planned. Before you put your sad faces on for me, it was a decision I made, because financially it would have caused me great distress and more of the no sleep thing. Couldn't have that.

By the way, the sleep is wonderful. We bought a brand new beautiful, luxurious bed made of bamboo and recycled materials. It is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I also took Melatonin for a couple of weeks and wrote many jibberish pieces. I'm still not quite sure what that was all about, but it's over for now. Phew! Okay, back to my road less traveled.

The guy who was going to marry us on the beach in Key West said we have a year to fulfill that commitment before the money is lost. It was a relief to find out that we still had that time. So that lifted my spirits a bit.

I know without a doubt that this is the man I am to spend my life with. This is the man I am to grow and learn with so the getting married thing is just a technicality. I know it will happen and there is no rush. Besides, the weather in the Keys was terrible the week that we had planned on being there. It was cold and windy, so it was a blessing in disguise that it all turned out the way it did.

This was probably one of the most responsible choices I have made in my life, so I did learn something from all of this. I learned that I am not as irresponsible and impulsive as I thought I was. Or maybe it's just a change that took place over time and I had an opportunity to apply it.

When we do make it there to get married on the beach, I'll be sure to post pictures and share our adventures with all of you. Maybe I'll be able to get my five gallon tanks on the bike before we go. (And lose fifteen pounds).

My millions is on the way, so I won't have to worry about this stuff for much longer.
