Where?

I'll be honest... I'm a little sad, a little bummed, a little happy, a little excited, and a little upset - all at once. Let's face it, I'm a woman! I'm allowed.

Why am I such a cornucopia of emotions you ask? Well, my man left today for an 8-day vacation on Andros Island in The Bahamas to go bonefishing. (that's the bummed part) No, he's not fishing for bones. Bonefish. Its a kind of fish that you fly fish for on the "flats" (sounds exotic, when in reality, its just knee-deep water). (that's the excited part)

Anyhoo - here's where he is - the yellow arrow points the way (he's just on Cargill Creek according to the Andros Island Bonefish Club website - where he's staying):

Its the largest island in The Bahamas but its the least populated (or so I've read). Its about 150 miles southeast of Miami and the weather this week is calling for daytime highs around 80! That's sounding pretty good considering its a "balmy" 34 degrees today and yesterday it struggled to hit 24 here in NJ! So while he's not overly fond of the heat (he likes winter better), I'd be willing to bet he's appreciating not freezing his tookus off right about now!!

The part that makes me sad is that we won't get to talk to each other until he returns next weekend (Saturday can't come fast enough for me!)... So, the countdown for me begins...8 days!! I know he'll be wishing he could stay longer and fish more (I mean, the other option is to come home to said freezing tookus and go to work - hmmmm, there's a no-brainer choice!).

But, I know I can't wait to see him again! He's a good egg, and I'll admit it...I like having him around! (and that's the happy part)

So...

8 DAYS TO GO!!
