After I got back, Alex and I had a quick dinner in the upstairs restaurant at the hotel! We finally tried the other secret restaurant choice. And it was really delicious!
I had a goal to drink every signature drink at the hotel, and I still had 3 or 4 left. So, it was time to get cracking! I had one at dinner.
Then, back in the room, we had a semi-little sad talk as we were getting ready to go drink (just at the hotel) on the last night.
He lives in Singapore now. And for various reasons (such as living continents away, which isn’t always a barrier to everything, as we were in Barbados together, but still…), we’re not gonna do my new birthday thing together this year.
So… this trip is the last time the “Sky Team” gets to be together in who knows how long – which is really sad to think about. So… we weren’t allowed to think about it too much, because then I’d cry. (I was already a little drunk, as I was on me second drink from dinner at that point.)
Side note about all the drinks: I did think it was kind of hilarious that you could just bring drinks like wherever you wanted, basically. We had one of our glasses from the hotel in our hands at the grocery store!
Basically, if you’re in Barbados, there’s a drink in your hand.
And then after shedding a few tears, we went and met up with Jamie – the guy we met in the first couple of nights!
We all drank, and laughed, and had a great time. Jamie told us about cricket (what he was there for). I finished all the signature drinks.
Alex was a little jealous that I had the most adventurous day. He’s like “I should’ve gone with you…but if I had you wouldn’t have gone to cricket, and you wouldn’t have had this adventure without me.”
(And of course I reminded hi that I don’t have some kind of magic adventure dust and the day could’ve equally gone in his favor, you just never know.)
(In the sweetness of sort of ‘saying goodbye’, he was like ‘maybe your best day here didn’t even include me. You’re always gonna be fine. You’re the most adventurous person I know… which made me want to cry even more, because I always tell him he’s the most adventurous person *I* know. And then he always says “I’m like that around you, because of you.”)
So so sad to be saying goodbye.
We stayed until the bar closed. And then we went to bed.
And I’ll get to the next morning tomorrow.
