St.Maarten/St.Barths -Carribean Dreams

So much happened on my first excursion to the Caribbean, that its a rather lengthy story...instead I'll just list it all as it comes out.

I'll start by saying all I really wanted was: sun, sand, pina coladas, and a hammock.

Instead I got...

* A US Airways ticket counter employee snatching passes out of my hand, me slapping him, him canceling my seat, his district manager witnessing it, apologizing for it, and then escorting me to the door of the plane

* A hypoglycemic occurrence because of the stress from the incident and lack of food

* A packed plane sitting on the runway for 1 hour

* A flight with no tv, radio, movies, or snacks

* Arriving late to my connecting flight and running through the airport with my Diana Ross fro flowing like the wind to my gate

* Meeting a place called "Bojangles" where I fell in love with a chicken biscuit

* Customs kick me out of line because I don't have the address to where I'll be staying on the island

* Meeting 2 cool peoples

* Finally sun, sand, beach

* Best meal I've ever had at handsome Italian man's bar

* Dance off, pants off!!!

* Frenchman #1

* Canadian Twins

* Strip Club after-hours

* Pina Colada!!!! (times 40)

* More rum than I've ever had in my life

* Explaining to locals I am not 1 of them in English

* Staring at locals blankly as they continue to speak to me in French or Creole

* Ditching a angry, misogynistic, old cab driver

* Risking my life in the jungle above the trees for 2 hours on 13 zip-lines

* Risking my life at the zoo that was more of a safari, with lots of the animals free to roam, and angry monkeys that threw rocks at us

* My 1st ferry ride

* Beautiful St. Barths!!!

* Nude sun-bathing after my $50 salad and Pina Colada

* Finding foreign candies including the Haribo Smurfs

* Boys, boys, boys

* Gay local guy and his French clique I had dance-offs with

* Frenchman #2

* Dutch guy...wandering hands

* All you can eat ribs!

* Nighttime beach drinks and lounging

* Conch!

* Cab drivers similar to the ones in NY

* Locals who will offer you rides for free while you're walking down the street

* Sun Rash 2010

All in all a fabulous time was had, and I am eternally grateful for the experience <3
