The good news was that we were still on the island of Bermuda and that our hotel had not fallen into the ocean.
The bad news was that the hotel was on the opposite end of the island.
We had already been riding the damn mopeds for at least an hour. I was wet and tired and I wanted to go home. Pat thanked the man for his advice and we were off again. I remember passing a hotel I had seen when I made our original reservations. I cursed myself for choosing a hotel that was so far from where I was at that moment. I wanted nothing more than to scoot right through it’s doors and crawl into the safety of it’s cozy beds.
One hour later we buzzed into our hotel’s parking lot.
I slithered off my scooter and waddled myself right into our room. I begged Pat to bring the mopeds back the next day. I could not bring myself to climb back on to that saddle. He took the mopeds back and I spat dirty looks at them every time we rode past on the city bus.
And it’s just as well.
After that first day it actually didn’t stop raining. Hurricane season is a lovely time to choose to go to a tropical island. Except that it’s not.
Our hotel lost power and the one pair of sweats I brought for our trip reeked of rain and dirt. We may as well have been camping. It’s just a good thing we were so happy in love. Nothing mattered as long as I had my husband and midnight servings of cheesecake.

Do you not have enough drama at home that you needed some on vacation too?
Jennifer says
That sounds like the worst trip ever. I think you need a do over. Just not any time between July and November.

Awe! That awful! That’s why we go home for hurrican season, I can’t tell you how many inquiries we had for the summer months! I dont know why people want to visit a hurricane destination during it’s rainy season? Friendscharters.com We start mid november to lower our risks for rain! Thanks for sharing, it’s a good story that I’ll refer people to next time they ask!

I really do think midnight servings of cheesecake could actually heal the world.
