All my life I have seen the pictures of what is commonly referred to as a Pacific paradise ... a beautiful island somewhere in the Pacific ocean. Upon marrying Lucy we went to such a place for part of our honeymoon. Lucy was born and lived on this small island and her family still had land and a house there. I had suggested that we go there for our honeymoon. I got a bit of a surprise out of that experience. It was beautiful but within two days time I wanted to leave and go back to the city where we had come from. I was so bored I could not stand it. I remember the one episode of the Andy Griffith show where Howard went to an island down in the Caribbean. After awhile he went crazy so to speak as there was nothing to do. He needed to go back to Mayberry to regain his sanity. Anyway, now we are talking about going back to that same small island to retire. Hopefully I can find something to do there. We have plans concerning it all so I think I will keep occupied.

I was 39 & Lucy was 29
part of our honeymoon was spent
at Chocolate Hills in Bohol, Philippines
the island of Bohol with Chocolate Hills near
the center ... the small island of Panglao on
the southwest end of Bohol is where Lucy
originally came from

islands which make up the Philippines.
We have since decided not to retire in the Philippines.
