Mauritius

My crazy plan worked and I made it. It took awhile and I had to go through
Phoenix and Houston to get to Paris, then hopped on another flight to the
faraway island of Mauritius. It was 11 hours from Paris and if you haven't
heard of it, you aren't alone, but its east of Madagascar in the Indian
Ocean and its very beautiful. There was some turbulence getting here but
nothing too bad and I had a seat next to me open on all the flights, so that
was nice.
I'm staying here for about 5 days and exploring the island and relaxing. My
little studio apartment is right on the beach and has two balconies! Its a
loft. Wish I could send pictures already, but that will have to wait until
I get back. Although I do plan to take lots of photos and share them all, I
even bought a new 1 gig card just for this. It rained a little when I
arrived, but its clear and warm and humid now. I finally get to test my
snorkel this afternoon. Mauritius is 11 hours ahead of California and so
I'm trying to stay awake until a decent time tonight. I might catch a Sega
show tonight; I hear the dance originated here.
That's all for now. Hope everyone is well.
