Wow, leaving Bimini was hard. Harder than I had imagined. Yes, I suppose leaving any version of paradise is difficult in the head and heart. But this was most definitely different. It wasn’t the crystal clear green/blue water I’ll miss. It wasn’t the the delicious food and drink abound. Or even the endless blue skyContinue reading “From Bimini to Space”
