Birthday surprises so far ...

Today my little sister turned 50! Our day began with a light breakfast and we were picked up by a driver to go to the marina. Little did we know that we would have a chartered boat taking us to a shallow swimming area with stingrays and stone fish. From there we were taken to a private, uninhabited island where a smaller boat came to take us ashore. As we got closer, we could see a beautifully set table with lobsters and chicken on the BBQ, shrimp, pasta,vegetables, salad, and wine. Let me just say, the "Bachelor" series had nothing on us today! Once we'd finished there was an amazing birthday cake brought out. The beach was spectacular and we took lots of beautiful pictures. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are now back at our villa to shower off the sand, rest a bit (important to keep pacing ourselves), and then primp for a late dinner. A truly phenomenal day.
