Surprise Weekday Getaway

Last week, Noa told me to make sure that I kept my Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday clear of plans because we would be leaving for a surprise getaway!  Since Noa will be leaving soon for his deployment and we hadn't really celebrated our 7th anniversary, Noa thought it would be a good idea to "get away from it all" and spend some quality time together.  

So, on the way to the airport, Noa told me that we'd be heading to a nearby island called Ishigaki and spend 3 days at the Kabira Club Med resort!  I couldn't believe it!

We had a wonderful time enjoying the sun, the beach, the food, the entertainment - everything.  The resort was all inclusive, and although it offered many activities, we spent the majority of the time laying beachside.

Here we are in front of the resort, just outside the main entrance.  You can see the pool and then further on, the beach!

Noa takes a walk on the beach.  The buildings you see are some what the outside of the guest rooms look like.  Also, you'll notice that it's quite green - very different than our "concrete jungle" in Okinawa.

The beach was awesome: white sand, padded beach chairs, not crowded, and umbrellas.  Here is Team Juloa taking a self portrait.

We both loved the food.  Noa loved that every meal was an all-you-can-eat buffet.

We both found this sign outside the nail salon area quite amusing and no, we did not take advantage of this special.

And finally, a photo of the two of us on our last night there.
