Day 15 March 13 2011 Checking off a must on the list


Today I did something I have been putting off, but know I should do.  I went to Kaimana beach and swam to the flag and back.  I heard it was rumored to be one mile distance (although it was only ¼ mile).  But I did it.  Alone.   My fiancé and I decided we would finally go to the beach together, we bought our boogie boards but no waves.  It was extremely hot under the noontime sun.  He refused to go into the water due to the lack of waves, but I didn’t want to give up the opportunity to swim in clear waters.  I felt I needed a cleanse, with the tsunami advisory, and being sick and cooped up at home.  And so I swam.  And swam back and the water felt amazing on my skin at this time of day.  I know swimmers do practice rounds at this same beach, so it felt nice that I finally was  putting my lap in. 

As tourists, we create some must dos for our trips.  And it feels fabulous to accomplish these tasks, checking off the musts for siteseeing spots in the town.  Sometimes I feel once this is accomplished, everything else added to this is pure pleasure.  Every trip has at least one staple to do, and after that pure fun ensues.   What task are you putting off that you realize will free you up once it’s completed?
