At Blue Lagoons I met another couple staying in the site next door. One evening we invited them over for a communal dinner. They grilled ribeye, I prepared sides: loaded baked potatoes and grilled zucchini. For dessert we made a campfire banana split: banana split open, fill with chocolate chips and marshmallows, wrap in foil, place near coals until warm.

After dinner, we all walked to the pier, swapping travel stories and laughter. The next day we rented kayaks together, paddled through shaded inlets, and discovered tidepools full of crabs and minnows.

By the end, we exchanged contact info and promised to meet again. Vacations are richer when shared.
