Survival kit

When I was out with the girls last week, facing the hazards of island life, we realized that we needed to rethink the concept of the "survival kit" given our new environment. Back home, we would typically keep a bag in the car with a blanket, flashlight, bottle water, etc. As nurses, we like to be prepared. Here's what we decided our St. Thomas emergency bag (which is, of course, a colorful St. Thomas tote) should contain.

1 - Camera (beautiful sights everywhere!)
2 - Bathing suit & beach towel (you might be surprised at how those beaches can creep up on you when you least expect it)
3 - Sunscreen (very practical, then sun will get you fast down here)
5 - Hospital ID (good for discounts all over town to beaches, shops, etc)

Awesome. What more could a girl in St. Thomas need? I could get used to living like this...
