My dad and I traveled a lot as I was growing up. Most times for vacations, but sometimes when he was working. My dad loved to work! I guess he was a work-aholic. He never was a beach person, but in his later years I think he became one because he knew how much I loved the beach and the lifesyle that comes with living along the coast. However, I could never get him to go to Playa. I think he thought of the whole Cancun thing and just was dead set against it.
Finally, I talked him into it! We made the plans to go for my 40th birthday in October. We were actually in San Pedro Island in Jan. fishing and I told him, "If you like this then you will love the town of Playa"! He said, OK! You talked me into it! So I made the plans.
I never really have been a online chat room person. I have checked out this site on and off the last couple of years and it seems as if there are some very genuine people. The reason I brought this up is because my dad died three weeks ago. I held his hand as he took his last breath. I try to remember the good times but right now I just cant. So Playa for me this time will be a new start. My first vacation without my dad. But one I wish he would have made. |
Thank you for sharing that...I know you'll have good memories of him when you're down there and will smile when you look all around at everything he would have enjoyed.
