Unfortunately, at this point... my sisters and I started getting sick - very sick. We either caught a bug or got food poisoning. Lost a whole day as we suffered and tried to recover... but our love for each other is like diarrhea - can't hold it in! So on we went with our plans, like the troopers we are :)

So sad to leave...
Until next time...
Thank you so much for visiting me, Leslie and Sirena! It was truly a memorable experience, and we packed a lot into 8-9 days. I hope you had fun here, and I hope you have since detached yourself from the toilet. Can't wait to see you again. Thanks for everything, I love you guys!
