Ahoy there!
I fled the Northern California rain and my sink full of dirty dishes to come to St. Croix! I’m not going back and you can’t make me!
Just kidding.
Sort of.
Okay fine. Today is Adam’s birthday and I promised I would come back tomorrow night by midnight (note that I did buy him new hiking shoes and cook him a steak last week to celebrate so I’m not a totally awful girlfriend…right?). Braiding my hair into dreads and taking up a new hobby in rum cake eating does sound quite pleasurable though, I must say.
I can’t wait to share with you all the delicious eats and island adventures I’ve been enjoying at the 11th annual Taste of St. Croix! If I’m not back in California by Monday morning, send troops.
Or more rum!

Rachel @ The Perseverance Diaries
April 16, 2011 at 6:23 amSt. Croix is a beautiful place, enjoy it!
It’s kind of hard to go back to normal life once you’ve been away in the Caribbean, I think you may just have to make him move there with you 🙂
Nothing like waking up with the beach a few footsteps away…ahhh
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope
