The day I awoke & started dreaming

A short memoir

Relive the memories

It all began when I felt a sensation of mystery and intrigue, as though adventure had personified itself and was calling for me just as I had awoken.

The sun was bright & gently peeked through the shades, coupled with an aroma of coffee & morning delights...

Breakfast was perfectly on point--original, decadent and definitely not what my mother ever served. Satiated & inspired, I was ready to explore...

Wandering through the grounds I felt lost in the most delicious way, surrounded by fruit trees and herb gardens.

What better way to follow a morning of discovery & delight than to decompress and relax - pamper away.

The sun was warm, the water was cool and I felt completely at ease. What more could you ask for? Perhaps a cocktail...

I stumbled up a Citron oasis adjacent to the Pétanque court. Spiked lemonade - a swift segue to relaxation...

Halfway into my pampering experience, I found myself thinking... well, actually not thinking at all.

Now feeling numb to the outside bustle, I was ready for a night of adventurous imbibing -- decadent food and inspired cocktails.

Tantalizing bites and expertly selected wine choices start the evening...

At dinner I felt transported to a place of true indulgence...

Nightcaps at the Mini Bar and a cozy fire end the perfect day-dream. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a date with my bed.

The time is now
