happyBlock leave is for 30-days. We knew we had the cruise to go on for the second half of the leave period, but as Sabrina is fond of pointing out, we didn’t want to wait on the cruise before we started enjoying our leave. Kimberly did some internet work, and suddenly it was “off to Ibiza!” We spent 12-days in a condo built on the high ground surrounding Cala Codilar (I may have spelled that correctly. Really there’s no tellin’…)
First I’ll confirm the rumors. VERY LITTLE IS OPEN on Ibiza during the winter months. That meant that we spent a lot of time circling the island looking for something to eat and a lot of time walking through towns looking at closed stores. That said, crowds were minimal, parking wasn’t too much of a problem, and it’s a small Island, so driving across it to go to a restaurant is only 30-45 minutes.
What a fantastic time! We took roughly 375 pictures of the trip, which obviously I can’t post here. Nice beaches, beautiful sunsets, warmer temperatures, it was everything that we were looking for.
While there we drove around the Island (repeatedly), visited the caverns, went to the aquarium but couldn’t get in (closed, but it wasn’t supposed to be), raced go karts (always a favorite with me), had some fantastic Indian/Nepali food while enjoying live music, saw some spectacular scenery, and walked along sandy beaches while barefooted.
We also studied a bit of calculus (not kidding here…Calculus has been an issue) and watched the Disney Channel since it was the only one in English. Who knew there were so many “off-brand” Christmas specials!?!??
So now we are home, recovering from one trip while preparing for another. Today is haircuts for everyone! -Even Jacoby realizes that it is time… -And trying to catch everyone up on events.
