Procreation Vacation

A Procreation Vacation. That’s what CNN is reporting as the new trend among couples trying to have a baby. Actually, it’s more like a new twist on an old trend – I believe I was conceived on a similar vacation 33 years ago, minus the official name and the new price tag.

Here are some highlights from the article (forwarded to me by my sister-in-law Emily) which profiled a couple named Lucinda and Kemry Hughes:

“Resorts are offering on-site sex doctors, romantic advice and exotic food and drink calculated to put lovers in the mood and hasten the pitter-patter of little feet.”

“Hughes and her husband were served an age-old Caribbean fertility concoction three times a day: sea moss, the Caribbean's version of Viagra, mixed with evaporated milk, sugar and spices. (She said it tasted like an almond smoothie.)”

“Now three months into the pregnancy, Lucinda and Kemry Hughes have picked out baby names: Kemry if it's a boy, and if it's a girl, Lucaya, for the resort that made it happen.”

It worked! And best of all, the woman who conceived is a freelance writer from Washington.

Okay Ron. Where are we going?
