August 5, 2009.
We are off to my hometown, Samboan, today. My Mom and her two caretakers are coming along. A van is picking us up from Marriott at 1:00 PM. The photo below is shown with my cousin, Fe - who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and my god daughter, Bem (standing next to my daughter, Tracey).
I started the day by blogging, but I am WAY behind when it comes to posting the entries!!! And it is going to get worse... blogging wise that is. For the next five days, I am not sure what or if there is even any type of internet connection at this town destination. I am sure, however, that my daughter and I will have our fill of swimming, eating, and sunning. There will be lots of sunsets too... I will be parked near some beach. YEAH!
Let me back track. I arrived to some awesome welcome. There are four relatives / families who want to host our stay here. My cousins are asking that we stay with them… Tracey said we each can have our own individual hosts! We just might stay at one different place each night so we do not hurt anyone’s feelings. Could this be something like too much of a good thing?
There are some wonderful views everywhere,,, so whereever we are, it will be great.
We decided to stay at my cousin, Fe’s home. My Mom and her two caretakers are staying with a cousin next door. Talk about some wonderful bed and breakfasts! How did I become so LUCKY!
These and the wonderful sight to wake up to. Retirement calls.
Today we swam, ate, caught up on the town gossip… well not all… as I find out more each day what, who, when, why, and where.
And the sunsets are beatiful too!
Tracey waiting for the sun to set on our first day in Samboan.
Fe and I joined her at the beach-
So we stayed and watched the sun disappear into the horizon. Irresistible.
Perhaps I should not wait three or four years between visits.

Eden...this is truly paradise...not only for the lovely atmosphere and gorgeous sunsets but you having loving family (alot of them). This is a huge blessing. Go as often as you can. I'm happy for you and Tracey.

Eden-lovely - a wonderful part of this world. It's so nice to share your heritage with us, and more importantly, that your daughter is a part of your treavel back. As Barb said, it's a huge blessing....menehune
