I am sorry that I have been so quiet of late and thank you for your continued interest in the blog. Turning 30 was not a good idea at all, as I have basically been under the weather and falling apart ever since. Thankfully, antibiotics have offered intermittent reprieves that allowed for work and for fun time, but that's about it.
I think I am all healed now, but my time in St Thomas is drawing to a close. I have been reflecting a lot on my time here and have been slow to prepare for my return to the mainland. I had 5 glorious days off this week and spent them all off island. "Off island" is the island equivalent of the mainland's "out of town." Every once in a while we St Thomians all have to get off the rock and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.
This has been a great week because I have been able to enjoy what I love most about this island - time with friends. I went on two trips (an overnight trip to BVI for the Bomba shack's full moon party and a 3 day voyage all the way to Anegada) and the only thing on our minds and on our agenda each day was to do things we've "always" wanted to do (like jump off the Willy T), have fun, and spend time together. Nobody was thinking about work or stuff that we knew would have to be done upon our return. We thoroughly enjoyed each other's company and had great moments together that will provide smile-inducing memories for a lifetime. We also have some really awesome pictures which I hope to share with you all.
I hope in the next few weeks to share my reflections and stories from the island that have kept me busy and offline. So, please do check back periodically and come sit on the beach with me for a while and listen to my tales.
(This picture was taken yesterday on my trip to Anegada, an island in the British VI that I will tell you more about. Until then...)
