Wow, how cool! I'm not a huge water lover, but it's such an amazing world! I went to Aruba for the first time this summer as well and snorkeled! And then had flying dreams after. It was such a spectacular experience seeing all the colorful fish.
I absolutely want to go to Colorado and enjoy the mountains everyone keeps talking about. I'm originally from Russia, so forests, fields, and swamps are my area of expertise lol :)
What propelled you to make such a drastic change?
A divorce and a new relationship.
Nice. New love brings us to the most unexpected, but wonderful places.
