(Read while listening to Preciosa by Marc Anthony)
The people that really know me can vouch for me being
terrified of flying! For three years I had somebody to torture during flights,
asking to talk about anything, holding hands etc. Not fun at all. There was
this one time that we didn’t sit together and I grabbed the guy next to me
through the entire turbulence and landing, good times!
I bought my ticket to see my family and friends and at least
gave myself a month to prep for it. The excitement was too much that all that
anxiety took the back seat. I couldn’t wait to hug and play with my niece and
nephew, their gorgeous faces on mind! I packed three days in advance and was
scheduling time with friends; my agenda gets crazy like that! The day was
finally here, I called my family as I always do to let them know I was ready to
take off. A prayer and ready! The takeoff was smooth as it was the entire flight,
enough for me to sleep a little bit and take lots of pictures of the clouds. I
landed and as the Puerto Rican that I am, I clapped with the rest of the
passengers; I even made the tourists next to me clap.
The week promised to be a great one, greeted at the airport
by a good friend; followed by traditional food by the beach with a couple of Medallas
(PR beer) and spending the rest of the afternoon with my family. At night I began
spending time with friends, dressing excitedly and feeling like I never left
home. I loved seeing everybody; a glimpse of a fabulous time ahead.
The next couple of days I visited Cueva Ventana and Cueva
del Indio, where my friends and I got to see Karma’s work of art front row! Visiting
local spots and spending time with all my beautiful people was just what the
doctor ordered! I would need to recap this whole trip in 4 posts so I’ll keep
it brief.
I recharged my body and soul with this visit, I was able to
connect with myself and remember where I’m headed. Shit will happen along the
way but my trajectory is clear!
