Ishigaki Vacay - First ER Visit
Last weekend we took a mini vacation to Ishigaki Island, a little island located between Taiwan and Okinawa. We had heard wonderful things about the Club Med there and were eager to check it out for ourselves. I have to admit the unlimited wine and extensive "petite club" activities added to our excitement. We arrived early on Friday in time to lounge by the pool. The kids spent Friday and Saturday in the mini-club doing circus school, beach time, pool time, playing in the pirate playroom, and so much more. Fletcher and I took a bike ride down into the local village, had cocktails by the pool, and even tried out the trapeze. It was exactly what we needed......that is, until about 7:30 that Saturday night. It all went down over a game of bingo. After dinner, the mini-club get together for one last activity of the day which just so happen to be bingo that night. Beau was running over to me to show his card when he tripped and fell into the couch I was sitting on. He had an enormous gash on his forehead and bled like it was a gunshot wound. I have never seen so many japanese people fleeing. We took an ambulance to the ER and 4 stitches later Beau was as good as new. As you can see in the pictures, Fletcher and I both were covered in blood. The hotel was kind enough to send a translator to the ER with us which was such a "lifesaver" for lack of better words. The stitches have since been removed and aside from me chasing the little guy around with vitamin E oil and sunblock, all is back to normal (whatever normal is). The pictures are a little blurry because they were taken with my Iphone, but you get the idea.
