Bahamians

Greetings from San Salvador, Columbus Isle Club Med, Bahamas!

Well, I have a little time to write. Brad is off doing the night scuba dive, he'll be back in a couple of hours...so I am here relaxing on our balcony with lappy and a strawberry daiquiri, enjoying the view of the teal and navy blue waters...listening to the lapping waves and my new fresh dowloads. I guess you could say it doesn't get better than this! We've had a great time. If feels like we've already done so much and it is only Monday!

It seemed from the beginning that this trip was quite the comedy of errors. We choose to go to spa treatment before the airport and get lunch which put us leaving a little late. We get to the airport and can't find our reservations. We are waiting in line and I hear someone yell out "Dr. Brad" and Brad's friend Eli, who works at Delta, is sitting behind the desk and we get to go get helped right away!! The line is really short for security check, shocker, so we are rushing to our gate which is of course far away and we get there and our flight is delayed 30 minutes! Classic. Alas we have a connection in Atlanta so it is going to be tight....we get to Atlanta and our gate was supposed to be right next to the one where we landed. Of course we deboard and our plane is leaving in 1/2 hour on the other side of the airport. The terminal was poorly marked and we were almost leaving the airport trying to find it. We did, but didn't have any time to eat. So the last I had eaten was in Kenny's car chocking down a wrap from Rubios...we get off our flight in Fort Lauderdale and I just had to eat! I know you know the feeling. So we got from terminal to terminal looking for food. This was like 10:30 pm and of course nothing was open. We go to our hotel, and our nice nice friend Melanie Teerlink gave us a friends and family discount through her hubby. Alas the price weren't what was quoted at the time I guess and the hotel was double what we thougtht it would be, but it was still very nice....but no time to worry, we were short on time because the guy said the bar closed at 11:30...it was 11:15 and I was about to rip someones head off for food. We went down and I told the Bar keep, who finally showed up, that I needed food right that minute! I believe it went more like "Are you still doing dinner, because you better be, I need food" and I wasn't being funny. I think I choked out a laugh because he looked a little scared. So the kitchen was closed, chef gone, but he looked around and there was a lone turkey sandwich in the fridge. Who knows if it was the night helps' snack, but he brought it because he said "it sounded like an emergency"! Classic! So I ate the sandwich and shared a little with Brad. We ended up finding some delivery place and they delivered more food to us. Finally at 1:00 am we are going to bed finally fed! Saturday went a little bit better on the food front until we were done with a nice dip in the ocean and went to go get a little snack. Apparently at the resort right now there are 2 restaurants that are under construction from hurricane season. So that leave one restaurant and a snack shack. And at 6:00 pm-7:30 pm everything is CLOSED. No food! AHHHHHH! So we've gotten on a schedule of when we eat and where so as to avoid crazy Aisha. No, I'm not pregnant...but I might be hypoglycemic...

We are loving it here. It truly is Paradise! The beach is amazing. I really could live here. The food is good and it has been warm and a little cool at night...

Biggest news is that I decided that I wanted to get scuba certified. So I've already sat through classes, taken a test (passed!) and done all of my pool dives. Yes, I just went scuba diving in a pool! It was so cool. So tomorrow I am going scuba diving in the ocean!! Like real diving!! Brad gets to come on the dives which is good because it has been a little sad today not being to spend any time with him. So, when we return, I will be a scuba sista' !!

So needless to say, our Anniversary was amazing. It was "pink and white" theme for dinner...yeah, I didn't know they were going to have that option! Good thing I usually have a pink shirt lying around! So it was fun wearing my new white skirt because it was like a year ago when I was wearing white while we got married! I know cheesy, but I love stuff like that. So as I finish up this post I am watching the sun go down and listening to Brad's scuba boat pulling away from land. Ahhh....what to do now, take another dip in the pool? Ocean? A pina colada maybe? Hmmm...so many options!

Future posts: how we saved a french man's life, the "Road Show" at Columbus Isle, Brad and Aisha Scuba diving!!

Dear Blog

Dear Blog

I am so sorry I have neglected you for so long. And to think, while I've been away, you were even kidnapped by my sister! How could I have done this to you. You've always been so good to me...letting all of my friends, family, and any other Internet stranger in on the fabu life of the Johnson's. You've always done everything I could ever have asked and been very user friendly during the whole process. I guess the least I could do in return is let you do your job, let you display my pictures and written word the way you do so well. I apologize...I will make special effort to post more often...even if it means taking time out of my person time, not my work's time. We all have to make sacrifices. You've done enough for me, now it is my turn. Oh dear blog, let us please move on from and never speak of it again. I will return soon with weekends of wild joy, tributes to babies, and pictures, of course pictures...many many pictures.

Love ,
Aisha

Emily here....

I was just taking a blog walk today and am just sick of seeing this same blog from Aisha. So I hacked in  :) added some color thought that I would leave a little message to the Aisha's audience. Now here is the funny thing, lets see how long it takes Aisha to notice... This could be fun. 

Grievance and Confession

I am so sorry to report that my already sporadic posting will now be even less. This is all because my work has blocked all blogging websites. This happened about a week ago, and I have really not blogged since. I am very upset with my place of employment. How dare they rob me of my occasional "break" my outlet to my friends and loved ones. How dare they decide how I spend my Internet time...oh wait I guess I do work for them.

Okay, so I blog at work. I really haven't seen it as a problem but I guess "the man" does and has forbidden it for me and all of my coworkers. It really wasn't the only thing I do for money, I do work, I would say that most of the time I work too much...so I am morning the loss of my daily dose of catching up. Along with the blogging website, You tube is also banned. These tragedies are almost more than I can take. What am I to do when I do need a break? Work more?? Are these grounds for quiting??

Yes, I have the Internet at home, but after sitting at a desk all day the last thing I want to do is get on the computer at home. But now I have more reason to. I have two great weekends that I need to report on. So maybe sometime soon it will come. Until then, please know I already miss you all, dearly.

Kermit the Teags here

Here is the latest email from Emily! Thanks sister, so cute!! Teagan had a big weekend. She was blessed on Sunday. Devin did a great job and it was fun to see his family again and get together with ours. She has promised me pictures of blessing day, so more to come!
