We had a beautiful and adventurous vacation. We stayed at the Hotel Mondrian in South Beach Miami. The hotel was recommended by Christine Eilvig, and it was a great hotel experience.
The first day we were just chilling around at the hotel and in the nearby shops. We both needed to ground and completely let go. It felt like our bodies had to catch up and discover that now it was time for vacation.
However, the following day we were ready for more magic. Calvin had big plans, and before long I found myself tumbling around on a segway.
It turned out to be both more difficult and more anxiety-provoking than I had imagined. The elements of speed and balance, reminded my body of an old accident where I broke my back. I was stiff as a stick, and it took some time before I had released the bodily panic.
Then we went on a trip with Duck Tours, and the day before departure we went jet skiing. Also that took massive courage and surrender.
At one point I started laughing at it all. This vacation was far more trauma releasing than I had imagined. But also much more fun.
Now I am deeply grateful for all the nuggets I got. It is magical to shake things up, remove ourselves from the usual routines and try out new things.
