Living Large

Mother and child wish never to leave. Snorkeled on a shallow reef with fish both large and small retreating to a sugary sand beach to lie under umbrellas on beach chairs drinking Pina Coladas, then to the decadently heated pool (in summer you would think this wrong, but it is not) to fall apart, then into lush towels and teak chairs. Three pools plus a separate lap pool, kids pools, saunas, cabanas, etc. The lobbies alone are worth a novel or at least the place to write one. I want to sit there for a month and see what I could write.

Now, however, we must wander down to breakfast. Someone wants to dive on the reef again. There are acres yet to explore.
