Matilda, Jak, Aud, and Doc, I'll have to sort out the highs and lows of the trip to assess if it helped with connection with my W or not. There were many wonderful memories for me, that I captured on camera. My W was disappointed that the weather was not as dry as it usually is this time of year in Puerto Rico. The beach is a priority for her. I was happy to be there experiencing a latin culture.
Her behavior deteriorated toward the end, and the trip home was difficult. She lost a $500 pair of prescription sunglasses and blamed me for it. The trip was like her mood swings--highs and lows in response to enjoyable activity and travel stressors such as searching for nice weather on the island, driving in fog in the mountains, reduced beach time, driving unfamiliar roads, and spending so much time together.
I'll let the memories settle and sort it out. I'll try not to focus on the fly on the wall, and will look at the trip from a broad perspective.
