A Spicy Vacation
It had been a long year and we were in desperate need of a good vacation so we set off to the local travel agency. We looked through several brochures and finally decided to go on a bit of a road trip and visit several places rather than just spend the entire vacation at a single resort as we normally did.
We started our vacation by traveling to Jukkasjärvi where we chilled for awhile in the ice hotel. Despite the frigid atmosphere, the people were warm and friendly. It was a wonderful place and nearly everything was created from ice, from the furniture and lighting fixtures to the salt and pepper shakers we used at our table. We took sled rides, visited ice galleries, played in the snow and generally had lots of fun. But soon it was time for us to leave and we were off to our next destination.
One of the more wonderful places we stopped at was Gatlinburg. There we found the largest museum of salt and pepper shakers in the known world. We spend hours drifting through and examining each of seventeen thousand one hundred and sixty two salt and pepper shakers from around the world. Some were wondrous in their design, while others were simple and plain. All were grand to see. That night I had a beautiful and spicy dream of dancing with all the salt a pepper shakers on a large decorated table.
The next stop on our trip was to a cozy little bed and breakfast under the lagoon in Key Largo. We watched as fish swam overhead, and were served a wonderful seafood dinner by aquanauts. We swam around our little home under the water and had great fun playing hide and seek with the fish. In my explorations we came across an old sunken ship. Though we were inexperienced, we decided that the adventure was too much to resist and we decided to explore it’s old wooden decks and rooms. While searching through the ship I came across the galley and found a set of bronze salt and pepper shakers marked with the insignia of the ship and still in good shape. This was a treasure to great to imagine.
After several days living large and liquid we decided to find more a solid place to stay and traveled to White Cliff. Here we stayed in the sumptuous splendor of an old opal mine. We explored the many caves and tunnels that run throughout the place and marveled at the glistening beauty of the opals we found throughout the region. While I was here we picked up a lovely set of opal salt and pepper shakers to go with the other ones I had collected.
Having spent time in the ground and under the sea we then decided to try some time in the air and headed to Lizard Island where we spent many days wondering high in the trees of the rainforest. We swam in the lagoons, played with crocodiles, saw a wonderful variety of rare and exotic plants and animals and generally had a good time. I also managed to find salt and pepper shakers made from rare corals that only grow near Lizard Island. My collection was going to be truly wondrous.
Finally it was time to head home. Our vacation was over, but our memories will never end, and my collection of salt and pepper shakers had only just begun.
