She nailed the itinerary.

When I told an aunt I was dating a fellow Scorpio, she predicted a breakup.

Two Scorpios cannot work.

Dont worry, she says with a laugh.

We wont have you swimming to the deep end.

You’re passionate about cultures that have spirituality and mystery attached to it.

Youre probably into the murder mystery documentaries, right?

Im also the annoying friend that gets mad at bar-goers for not dressing up on Halloween.

This activity allowed me to appreciate the water without having to actually get in it.

My schedule was void of water activities otherwise: no jet skis or diving into deep water here.

Thank you, Valerie.

My itinerary had a free day with a cabana reservation by the pool.

My final day was the highlight of my trip.

Im afraid my lips are sealed beyond that.

Stine could have prepared me for that level of creepy.

My best friend, my travel companion and a staunch Gemini, had regrets over not packing holy water.

I will admit, this is perfect foryou.

After 25 years of friendship, even she was blown away by the accuracy of this itinerary.

And I’m inclined to agree.

Ill no longer be crossing things off a bucket list just because Pinterest told me to.
