Running along the boardwalk, exploring all the waterslides and the swimming pools, sitting in lounge chairs on the beach, reading for hours, working on crossword puzzles together, putting our feet in the sand, swimming in the big waves, eating fresh fish and shrimp on the patio at Tommy Bahamas, shopping till we dropped, and finishing the day with ice cream cones in the fresh, night air.  I had to wrap my arms around Greg right there with our ice cream cones in hand and tell him how much I love him.

Romantic love is an interesting thing.  I've done my fair share of people watching while here.  I'm always interested in seeing the people who are together. It's hard to hide very much while wearing a swimming suit.  Most people are fairly ordinary looking.  And yet, when you are in love, you see something special in your mate, something that other people don't see.  Greg and I see that in each other.  Beyond all the human flaws and ordinary parts, we see someone we love.

I'm happy we've had this time together.  Free from the usual distractions of life, we are free to fall in love all over again.

As Buddy the Elf says, "I'm in love!  I'm in love!  And I don't care who knows it!"
