The "Gem of the Caribbean Sea" Story
It was an ordinary day. Looking through my file folder marked Barbados. My wife and I are going to head there soon for a vacation with our traveling companions Jerry and Just Sue. My surgeon promised my wife when I scheduled my back surgery that I would be good to go by the time we had scheduled to leave. Now, the rest is up to me. As I am going through the folder I find our Passports as well as our travel itinerary for the two weeks. I was going to put both my wife's photo and mine on this story, but she would croak if I put her picture on here. Hey, I have on my favorite shirt again. Recognize it?
