JAMBELI, ECUADOR - CHRISTMAS EVE 2024
How lucky am I to spend the afternoon with these 2 gorgeous men?!?! We just wanted a relaxing day in the sun. Jambeli is a little island off the Port through mangrove forest, only accessible via water taxis. We got a private ride, which took around 25 minutes, each way. We practically had the island to ourselves. Besides the locals we seemed to be the only ones strolling around. We walked the beach and promenade and just moseyed around chatting. Gary took a nap in a hammock in the shade, while Scott and I went for a dip in the ocean. We bought out the entire stock ( all 3 ) of the local Hammock Maker, on our way back to the dock. Made him very happy!

Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy , back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii! Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
