Ah, yes. I am well aware that it has been a while since my last post. I am alive, just slightly... soaked.
We're currently awaiting Tropical Storm Omar (let's hope it does not amount to anything bigger). From what I hear, there will probably be several lengthy power outages, a general shutdown on island (schools are out - no snowdays here!), and a lengthy 36-ish hours inside. I'll be staying at Doug/Chris/Meghan/Brian/Kate/Pat's house tomorrow night, so I am sure there will be a "hurricane" party of some sort. The important thing is we have stocked up on bottled water, non-perishables and rum.
This might give me some time to sit and write about the past week or so, and the excursions and anecdotes I've experienced in that time. Although, I have to say, I am quite used to typing my stories instead of hand-writing now, so it may be a different experience...
So, I will update you all after Omar passes. Check out www.stormpulse.com for all the awesome hurricane/tropical storm tracking features. I'm hooked on the site now.
So until the power comes back (we're counting on it going out)...
You know you love me,

"That is, without a doubt, the worst pirate I have ever seen."
When I was little, I walked on my tip-toes and tried my best to avoid walking barefoot on the grass. I was a bit of a priss (and still am!) I do not eat fish, nor do I so much as dip my toes in the Jersey shore water. So you can imagine everyone's surprise when I declared that I was moving to a Caribbean island. This journal is to document my significant (and not so significant) encounters and experiences, as well as record my imminent culture shock. I hope you find my reflections enjoyable and, in all probability, comical. Yo ho!
