Hi Kay,
Thanks for your kind words. I stayed with the group in order to keep an eye on you all. But just like Matron, I did not even know when some of you left the house - in the rain. I heard that Mas Camp was too close to resist. Thankfully, you all were rewarded for your efforts.
Mausica sisters and brothers,
A major benefit of staying with a group during a reunion, is that you have mini reunions.
In Tobago we had communal breakfasts (in night clothes). We moved in and out of one anothers' rooms "borrowing" this or that, or just being a nuisance to the occupants. We had a pyjama party aka. a night of nostalgia, when most people sang folk song after folk song. (I noticed some people were singing while sleeping). We racked our brains to remember the lyrics some of the time. This was followed by our dancero Florence teaching the group the Electric Slide - some got it, some did not. On Monday morning, while we waited for our transport to the ferry, there were some serious card games - slapping cards on the table as well.
In Trinidad we spent a lot of time chatting at breakfast, reliving the previous days' activities and wondering whether the dj and the patrons of Amnesia would let us get a few hours sleep. Back in the day, we would have felt blessed to have our residence next to a club - how times have changed! Despite this we were always ready for the next days' activities, anxious to see what else was planned and to continue re-uniting with our Mausica family.
I met new family and celebrated the ones I had before.
Now everyone knows why I was so ecstatic every day.
A birdie told me we might be cruising together in 2 years. I am available to assist with organising. Mausican Gerry Callender is a cruise consultant.
