It's a good thing I'm not getting into the water because I'm wearing a SPF 100+ sunscreen, which dermatologist say is better at protecting you from sunburn. I suspect the dermatologist are right, but that isn't why I purchase a SPF 100+ sunscreen. I purchased it because I always purchase the highest SPF that I can afford or not. The problem with sunscreens are their affect on the environment. The other reason I'm glad I'm not getting into the water is my ability, or perhaps I should say inability, to tread water. In addition to swimming, I'm skipping the rum tasting; however, I will not skip the food.

I'm glad the rooms have a kitchenette and microwave. Not that I would use either because when traveling I prefer to eat someone else's cooking. While I can cook anything in a microwave, normally I use it to poach an egg or warm up breakfast or lunch sandwiches. Sometimes I warm up my coffee in one, but normally I drink my coffee before it gets to the "warm up in the microwave temperature".

I hope 🌻 thankful pwheeler nano and Rosemary are enjoying this virtual vacation as much as I am.
