Back

So a few things to remember from St. Lucia...

1. Dinner at Le Toc at the Regency. Yum. So good. Best beef filet I've ever had. Just melt in your mouth so so good.

2. Kayaking about 2 miles RT around Rodney Bay. What a work out for our arms.

3. Drinks and shots with Jessie & Ryan, Andrew & Carolyn, and the British couple on our last evening there.

4. A so-so dinner at Toscanini's, but dessert was terrific. Steve's tiramisu with coconut was fabulous.

5. A great welcoming, first night dinner when we were too tired to plan anything.

6. Drinks including the BBC and anything with coconut rum.

7. Fantastic service from Vernessa, Shelley at the Pub after watching the World Cup, and Jimmy in water sports.

8. Sailing on the hobie boats and not getting lost.

9. That god-awful, tummy upsetting, carsick inducing, horrid van trip to the resort. Nearly two hours of curves. I had to practically knock myself out to get back to the airport and the dreadful Delta service.

10. Finishing the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and nearly finishing The Time Traveler's Wife. I really got into the Larsson book.

11. Teaching myself to swim, and exhausting myself to swim, followed by afternoon "naps" under our blue cover near the sea.

12. Chick-fil-A and the Delta lounge.

13. Watching karaoke, and basically it turning into American Idol tryouts.

14. Steve's pocket kings at poker.

15. Fresh fruit, especially the mango and watermelon, and the really yummy salmon, spinach, tomato, and cheese omelettes.

16. Steve's mahi-mahi sandwich.

17. Drunk guy--and how after he toppled over in the water, he talked to us then all of our vacation friends one by one at the bar. Crazy connections.

18. Seeing Remember Me on the flight back home.

19. Seeing the horses doing it on the way back to the airport.

20. Tossing the football around on the beach and meeting an occasional Cowboys fan.

Happy to be home, though.
