My aunt spent some hard earned dollars on the Canon SD600. She got it specifically because she was headed off for a much needed vacation with her husband. They dropped the kids off with me and everything. She wanted to remember it all, and was excited about capturing every moment that she could. I wanted to share some of her personal experiences while they were away. I thought any of my regular readers might enjoy the diversion from the usual rambling here about my own life.

So, what kind of vacation is special enough to go out and buy a new Canon SD600 just to record it? In short, it was an island getaway. They went off to Bora Bora. My first reaction to this news was, "Why there? What's in Bora Bora?"
Her response… "Bora Borans, of course."
Yes, my entire family is very droll. She did go on to give me a real answer, however, and to let me know why this trip rated the purchase of a brand new Canon SD600 in order to record it for posterity. It seems that when she and her husband first got married, they planned to go there for a honeymoon, just because it seemed like a romantic idea at the time. Life being what it is, things never worked out for them. It was too much money when they were first married, so they put it off for a bit. Then they had their first child and 'a bit' turned into whenever the child was old enough. Then they had their second child, and that turned into 'just whenever.' Now, fifteen years later, the time is finally right, and the trip was planned, and the Canon SD600 was purchased, and the kids were dropped off at my place for a week. It took them a while, but they finally got their honeymoon.
And when they got back, I had the pleasure of seeing all the pics they took on their Canon SD600. I can now understand what the attraction to Bora Bora is. I have never seen water so blue or sand so white. It really is an island paradise. And it looks like they had fun. Mostly doing nothing. Lying on the beach, enjoying the ocean, and drinking something with a little umbrella in it. Just what people go there for. The two of them got sunburned, of course. They had never been to a beach in their lives, and all of a sudden they want to spend every day on it. Trial by fire. Almost literally. They loved every second though, burn and all.
I'm really happy that they got to experience that together. Everyone deserves a honeymoon and some time to themselves. Even if it takes over a decade to get to it. I suppose an event like that is just what you would want to commemorate on a brand new Canon SD600. Hopefully, they'll get to use it again real soon.
