Paradise

Let the sand castle building, drinking beer from a coconut, grass skirt wearing antics begin! On Sunday we head to Tortola, British Virgin Islands, for the wedding of Martha's step brother Noah to his long time lady friend Tegan. I guess that makes him my step brother in law and her my step sister in law through marriage.

I've never been to the Caribbean so my only frame of reference on life in paradise is what I've seen in movies. I expect to befriend monkeys, eat a lot of fruit, talk with parrots, not wear a watch because according to TV ads for Bacardi nobody has jobs down there and nobody cares what time it is because when you've got nothing to do you've got nowhere to be. I'll most likely also swim in turquoise colored waters, light fires on the beach, get tangled up in some romantic misunderstandings... It's all good in the 'hood.
