Day 0 - Countdown finished

[didierb]

Wow, just closed Outlook for 2.5 weeks and activated the "out-of-office", good feeling.
Finished to pack all our stuff, very good feeling.
Tomorrow, we should be in Saint Barth, super feeling (if no issue with the travel - but if any, come on, it's part of the holidays ;-).
--Saint Barth--, sorry I have to repeat to realize fully - again, wow.
What is the word when you are more than "tingling"? Over tingling?

So lucky to be able to go to Saint Barth again, just cannot believe it
So many days with family on the island....

HAPPY

Stay happy Didier. I so look forward to your reports. I think the stage after tingling is "shimmying and shaking" with glee.

Safe travels to you and the family

Wow, thanks a lot all for your wishes! So amazing to read your replies from Saint Barth!

Actually it seems your wished helped a lot because the travel was totally uneventful. We were earlier as planned on the island, waiting for our luggage, car and villa
Cool-down effect was really starting in the flight from Paris to Saint Martin, and as usual, even more between Saint Martin and Saint Barth. A totally fully emotional moment for me to be honest...

Still the same effect when we arrived here "at home" (11th visit), very very strong feeling So as suggested by Amy, we stay totally HAPPY.
First swim in the pool with Julien.
First dinner on the island (yes as usual Andy, but "Le Grand Anglais" was not here, perhaps still recovering from his Elton John performance ;-)
First Carib and Rhum Vanille there, first Vieux Rhum (Clément) now at the villa on the terrace, with a good cigar, writing this post.

Still quite tired from the long journey, but also laughing together because we were already "fighting" to decide what is the "beach of tomorrow"!
What for a stress
By the way, the winner is ... Gouverneur

Eheheh, life is good, isn't it?

PS: I will do my best with photos, oups
