And the day never stopped until the last person called it a night. One day, for instance, we went with a small group to snorkel at a nearby reef filled with beautiful coral formations and fish. On another day, we caught very entertaining circus acts (the trapeze artist was especially good). And it was easy to linger on the resort’s beautiful, white sand beaches, in or out of our clothes. We enjoyed dining buffet-style in front of a big bonfire at the beach. Some of the themed events, like a hilarious toga party, were great fun.

However, in the intervening years between then and now, we’ve never lost our taste for wilderness adventure.
