Gotta love your way of thinking
I imagine those waters can be frightening. As you named them... I was thinking there's just way too much (especially sharks and rays) in the water for swimming. I've heard about those painful jellyfish stings. Most of our beaches in the northeast US are murky as hell, so that alone keeps me from going to the beach.

LOL er: vaginal
Was your son also alarmed, or just you being a cautious Mom? The worse I've come upon was once went I visited Barbados... I was fooling around in shallow water, reached down into the sand and picked up a buried starfish. Scared the crap out of me
. I remember a time as a youngster when my Mom was about to fight a man because he had gotten in my face agressively. 
LOL! He probably was thinking.... There goes my protective Mom again
Yes, I visited Barbados back in my early 20s. At the time my g/f's Dad and stepmom lived there. It was cool after I had adjusted. One interesting thing was driving on the left side of the road, and shifting gears with my left hand. Funny thing about that it that I'm ambidextrous, but left-dominant. That starfish suprised the heck out of me. I've been to a few of the islands, but Puerto Rico remains my favorite. I know it's because I can get the island experience, and still have the conveniences of being in the USA.
Haha! I'm sure he's keen to move out and gain some normality in his life lol. Aww your Mom (feels so weird spelling it that way) was super protective of you! I'd have no chance fighting a man at 5'4 lol but I'd try if i had to.
Come on now we've touched on the subject of your age.....
Hahahaaha! Welcome to my world honey! Left hand on the stick right hand on the steering wheel. And always on the left hand side of the road lol. I felt so weird and thought i was gonna die on a bus over there turning a corner just didn't feel right lol.
You should have kept the star fish lol. Given it to your ex when you broke up lol kidding.
Sounds like a beautiful spot for sure!! I'll add it to my wanderlust list!!
. Later that day when my mom learned of what happened... She confronted the guy, and he was at least smart enough to quickly walk away,. I guess I'll just have to show you my driver's license one day.. I think the strangest part was going around what Brits call a roundabout. Aussies too? I made it without incident but what an adventure. I was just thankful that I knew how to drive a car with a manual transmission. It was a rental, and they charged more $$$ for rental cars with automatic transmissions. In Puerto Rico, I rented the slowest Toyota Corolla ever built. I was wishing this one had a manual transmission, because with air conditioning on... It struggled on long hills, and you definitely need on-demand speed when driving on some of those highways..
My Mom is about your height. I think it was just that protective Mama bear instinct. It actually was embarrassing to me. I think I was about 13/14 y/o. A few of us were playing basketball when I get into a little scrapping with this one dude. Nothing serious, but after a bit of shoving the guy left and got his dad. The dad came and was yelling and cursing at me. Then he actually tried to slap me, but I quickly got out of his reach. At this point I was shaken and knew there was nothing I could do against this man. In my mind... I needed my dad. Cutting to the chase... My dad and I came back a few min later... the other guy was out there, but his dad was no where to be found
There you go again with that age thing
The driving was OK once I got used to staying on the correct side of the road
She probably would've thought the starfish was cool, while me (the city boy) was totally startled when I realized I had something alive in my hand
. I'm usually using either my desktop computer or laptop for WWBM. It's rare that I'm on this site with my phone. .
Will try to catch Iggy if/when she goes on tour this year.
Speaking of which, today's a bittersweet anniversary--it
was five years ago today that Kylie Minogue had her
first-ever concert in Boston--still kicking myself for missing
the chance to go!

LOL! Sorry. Just when we had gotten away from writing the long posts
Yes, my mom still thinks we're "her children" at times. It's funny.
We do have roundabouts (we call them traffic circles), and I know the rules (like traffic that's entering must yield to traffic in the circle), but with right hand traffic we travel around the circle in a counter-clockwise direction. So it was really odd to suddenly be going around the roundabout in a clockwise direction. I guess I did well since I'm alive to tell about it.
I think it would drive me insane to be turning off A/C for every steep hill. Thankfully, my car has a bit of speed to it.
I can't believe I missed that starfish joke
You overworked your phone
