There are now cigar factory tours in Puerto Plata, foodie tours all over the Mediterranean and Caribbean where every restaurant now boasts the spiciest food in the region, or the most authentic local cuisine, and helicopter tours are everywhere.
We don't travel as much now that we have Sean and Emily, but we have pitched a kid friendly series where we seek out fun stuff for kids to do on cruises. We're thinking we'll get the green light soon. We've got snake pits, alligator farms, and swamp buggy rides already lined up. There's hunting for dinosaur bones, digging for diamonds and sliding down sand dunes on a board. Sean wants me to find the longest zip line in the world for him to ride while Emily wants to swim with sharks.
A little while back it occurred to me that I never once thought of testing Linda's love before we married. I guess when you know for sure, you know for sure. It still amazes me that so much good came out of what could have been the worst eleven days of either Linda's or my life.
I sometimes run into mutual friends of Flor. They tell me that she was married for a while, but it didn't work out. I know she has a lot of black sheep in her closet, but I truly hope she finds the happiness I've found with Linda. From the perspective that time gives me, I know that Flor and I were doomed to go our separate ways. The commitment I wanted scared her. I hope she's figured that out and has gotten the help she needs.
My consulting business is doing well. Linda was right, there is a lot of down time between shoots. That down time is why I have done so well in my consulting business and why we have two kids.
Black sheep in her closet? Linda's speech patterns are beginning to rub off on me.

gydcgreen54about 2 months agoI'm pretty sure this is the first 5-star rating I've given; exceptionally well done. Yes, you could have done a better job proof-reading, but I have the same problem; as a writer I just want to get on with the story, I don't want to spend a lot of time in the weeds, so to speak. I usually do fairly well when writing; my first rough drafts are pretty complete, and the second and third time through them are just cleaning up and clarifying. I started a novel on Literotcia; but got fed up with the uneven submission and review; the beginning of my story is still posted here but the bulk is on Patreon. I developed the first few sections into two books on SmashWords (that was a pain in the ass, figuring out how to do it). I find I'm rambling; I need to get back to my own writing, so good luck, and I hope you keep it up. Semper Fi
SouthernCrossfire8 months agoThis was a good story overall, but it was a little like Groundhog Day with the repetition only without the fun changes along the way. Seriously, it needed an edit for that and some typos or missing words.
.
The romance was good as was the non-repetitive part of the story, and I liked the way he gave Rayon or whatever her name was a chance to transform her from a caricature into a part of their team.
.
Unfortunately, Flor never got that same transformation and I felt really sorry for her. She was essentially a 27-year-old adolescent who wants what she wants when she wants it and never considers the consequences but who also never learns anything from her experiences on the trip. The portion of the little epilogue telling about what happened to her was disappointing but not all all surprising as a result, though I was glad about the rest.
Richard19408 months agoI got very confused when I found myself reading the stuff I'd just read, Very enjoyable otherwise. Thank you.
