We should be in a Comedy

This will be a funny post, I hope.   I am sitting here laughing at both of us because we do such funny, old couple things.    This is what our trip is like:
  I keep walking to the wrong rental car in any parking lot we are in, being totally unaware.
Dan keeps saying, "oh, you have to see this" the second I am sitting down to do something else, and he has walked over to the lanai, or the window or whatever.
He will tell me something, generally when I am doing something else, and then later, I will ask him about the very thing he just told me.   
We both cannot be in the small, galley kitchen at the same time---it is small, we are big, and we irritate each other.
We keep laughing because we feel incredibly relaxed, but we hadn't been doing anything stressful before!
We say we are needing relaxation from the rigors of retirement.

Anyway, we ARE relaxed and having a great time.
Today, we went snorkeling.  It was pretty good, we saw some very cool fish---big yellow ones, black and white, some grey ones, sea urchins, and a spiny red thing.   I also have to laugh because I am a total wimp with snorkeling---I have to practice the breathing before I do it, I need Dan to tell me exactly how and when to put on the equipment, and I have to hold his hand when we start.  I don't even know what I'm scared of, I think it's that I don't know where I will end up, and also, that I will swallow water or it will go up my nose.
Anyway, I did fine, and I really enjoyed it!
Oh, and I found a new anti-itch cream for my eczema---toothpaste!   I actually just rubbed a piece of pineapple on it and that also helped.   Dan is making pina coladas with fresh pineapple and bananas and coconut juice.    Maybe I will brush my teeth with it.
Later, after a good meal that we cooked ourselves, on the complex's grill, we watch t.v. and our new addiction---"Hawaii Five-O"!    This is actually an old show, if you don't know that, in fact, I never really watched it because I was in college for most of it.
