I thought we were going to the most comfortable place in the world when my wife said we were booked for a tropical paradise.
Well, this place really was tropical, humid, overheated.
I was looking forward to enjoying some air conditioning, but we ended up staying in a hut. While the hut did a pretty good job at keeping somewhat cool, it was still incredibly humid and overheated. We didn’t even have electricity in the hut and I wished that my wife would have given me a heads up about that. I was not able to charge my phone or anything for taking pictures. I wasn’t able to get a signal so I couldn’t call anybody. Still, I took pictures of us at the beach and of the beautiful surrounding area while the battery lasted. There was entertainment too. They had hula dancers and we were able to drink. They did have electricity at the bar area we went to, so that’s where we spent most of our time. They also had fans working which was better than nothing, but I still wished that they had air conditioning. Apparently, none of the locals believed in using climate control. They said if you were feeling cold, you could either enjoy some ice-cold drinks, or you could go swim in the water. I mean, it was awesome staying at this place in many ways, but life is not so easy for me when I have no access to a good cooling system. I was actually happy on the plane ride home because I was able to use that AC and I was even more delighted when we got back home to use our central AC system.
