Mitch and Me. – I’ve experienced MANY “firsts” since I arrived to Jamaica for my 25th birthday trip but this kiss from Mitch is very special to me. Since I was 5 years old and my mom bought me my first pair of 14k gold dolphin earrings, I’ve dreamed and desired to swim with the dolphins. 20 years later, on my birthday, that dream came true! I cannot begin to explain how special and truly fulfilling this moment was for me. It was literally the only thing on my to-do list. I was afraid during my time in the ocean because not only was it at least 30ft deep but I am very intermediate in my swimming skill set. I REFUSED TO LET THAT FEAR STOP ME though! The trainer kept checking on me and asking was I okay because he saw the “fear in my eyes” but I was TOO DETERMINED TO QUIT. To finally swim, dance with and kiss a dolphin was absolutely amazing…Never give up on your dreams. Always Remember:
