Bretty and the jets

I've been beat up and worn down on this trip.  I have bruises and sore shoulders from carrying bags, I have a sore ankle from not quite completing a "move" on a bench outside Chili's, almost everything below my knees hurt from so much walking, I have not gotten adequate sleep, and my back hurts from lifting a small person.  Because of this, I am so very thankful this hotel has a hot tub.  I hadn't been in a hot tub in a long time, and it took till our 3rd day, maybe, for me to finally take advantage.  We had been walking all day, and we were cold, and a friend and I (the previously mentioned "small person") decided we needed to hit the hot tub once we made it back to the hotel, and we did.  I brought my Bluetooth speaker down with us and we set ourselves at a low boil.  Two other members of the group joined us later, and we stayed down there till close at 11 pm.  Very sad to go.  Regardless, both that night and into the next day, both my friend and I felt so much better; so much more relaxed, which allowed us to head into the day's activities with renewed vigor, or at least renewed muscles and joints.  I swear, next trip the instructor needs to make periodic hot tub visits part of the class, because it will for sure eliminate SOME of the excess bitching and complaining.
