After a two-day visit to charming Charleston, one of the most fascinating historic cities in the country, we are back on Hilton Head.

The Walking Wounded
We had some excitement at the beach today. As Chloe was attempting a boogie board run, we heard a piercing scream. “My leg! My leg!” she cried. She was not imagining things. Her injury, caused by a nasty jellyfish (the photo below, taken some time after the incident, doesn’t really do the welts justice), was impressive looking.
Full Speed Ahead
Non-stop activities today, starting with the bike ride Chloe and I took this morning to the racquet club for a semi-private tennis lesson. We had a great session with a pro who helped Chloe to refine some of the skills she’s learned over the past year and who assisted me in taking rust off my game. It was so much fun that we have another lesson tomorrow morning, at which time I may treat myself to a new racquet – the one I have at home was my father’s Prince graphite model from 30+ years ago.
Communing with Lowcountry’s Creatures
The sightings started with my morning walk, when I happened upon an alligator greeting passersby.
Hilton Head, It’s So Nice to See You Again!
After yesterday’s driving debacle, we all woke up eager to retake the road to get to our final destination. Indeed, today’s effort was much less taxing.

Back To Reality
But we can still reminisce about paradise by looking at the photos. Here are a final few that sum up our terrific week. I think it’s time to start planning our return to this heavenly place. Thanks, Club Med Punta Cana, for an amazing vacation!
Paradise is Almost Lost…
…but not quite yet. One more full day of bliss before boarding a plane back to smog, traffic, work and the stresses of real life.
Yes, It Is Still Paradise
I wish I could stop time. For another week or two. We’re about halfway through our week at the Club Med in Punta Cana, and I don’t recall the last time I truly appreciated not having a schedule or responsibilities.
Paradise
Need I say anything more? In this case, a picture really is worth a thousand words.
