Famous bikini after a week of crap food, heavy drinking and smoking. Wanted to take the pic with a little tan. Ah well.


playing photographer. I kinda like this one.


Finally my Chewy (short for Chewbacca) enjoying a cold one in the sun. mmmm.

and as promised: crispy canadian bacon

That ocean water looks scrumptious, as do you :wink:

Love the pics! You’re definitely still looking hot in your bikini, despite eats and drinks (and smokes, bad girl :wink: ).

I seconded all of what Blue says - and I’m with you nlmain, life is short!

Beeeeutiful! Thanks for sharing.

Glad you had a nice holiday. That beach looks gorgeous! And you’ve got some dangerous curves, lady.
Did you smoke the cigars?

Thanks for the compliments MIM, Blue and Masch :slight_smile:

Cal: I don’t smoke the cigars they tend to burn my throat but in Cuba they make cigarettes out of their famous cigar tobacco. The flavour is fabulous - even more so enjoyed in the sun, on the beach with a cold mojito in hand. Those little bad boys are called Romeo and Juliette’s and I damned them throughout my workout tonight. My cardio has taken a serious kick in the lungs thanks to them. I will have to work my way back up and remember to ease up on em next time.
