After the longest stretch of time off island that I have had since first visiting in 2006, I am back. My longing for the beautiful weather, turqouise water, and laid-back atmosphere has been growing over the whole summer. This last six weeks I have found myself re-editing my HD video from the islands over and over again. It was time to come back.
This time around, things are a little different. No longer employed, I could not justify the expense of a rental car. I have always told people that you can make it fine on the island without one, but I have never actually tried it. The grocery store is about a mile away, and I can catch rides with my friends when it is time to stock up. Not having a car will also have the benefit of forcing me to eat more meals at home.
I will have plenty to keep me busy. The beach and pool are right outside my door and I have ten books that I would like to get through on this trip. First up on the book list will be “The Elements of Style” by Strunk and White. This book was recommended in Stephen King’s book “On Writing” as a great refresher of good use of the English language in writing.
