Daydream Believer

The temperature in our city this week has been in the 30s (Celsius). Add to that the Humidex and you have for some rather hot and sticky weather. Our house is not air conditioned and while I am normally fine in the heat, lately it's been keeping me up. I blogged last night to catch up on posts until about midnight and I was still wide awake afterwards. Our poor dog must be just roasting as well but she doesn't show it as much. No panting, but she has discovered that laying in front of the fan we have suits her just fine.

SO, long story short. I didn't sleep last night. Or well, I did, but not much. Just enough to have some ridiculous dreams and be very tired for work in the morning.

This hot weather reminds me of Cuba, except we are lacking the tropical plants, sand, ocean, and general feeling of relaxation and ease here. Enter my beautiful mind. Daydreaming is something I love to do. If I can't get to Cuba on a plane, I will get there in my brain! After a short visit with my dad's mom last night and hearing about my cousin going on a Caribbean cruise, my grandma heading to Spain and on a cruise, and my brother having just returned from Iceland (also, looking at Facebook pictures of an acquaintance's trip to Thailand) I am just itching to travel. My hubby and I have talked about going back to where we spent our honeymoon (Varadero Cuba at the Sandals) this coming winter.

Well, basically anywhere hot, all-inclusive, with a lovely beach and water (and at the right price) is where we'll be spending a week this winter. So, I have been imagining being away again. Zero worries, great food that we don't cook, enjoying the time alone together and finally relaxing.

I cannot wait to get to the point together where we can travel to exotic destinations at least once a year or more and explore, relax, and become closer as a couple.
