Love "Cool Change" Minde! It's perfect. For some reason, I can't snorkel without the Beatles "Octopus's Garden" running through my brain - though it's just on my internal play list, not my iPod.

Sherry's Living in Paradise ~ Kenny Chesney

Can't hear this song without my mind wandering to a beach bar down in the Islands.

Just putting ours together ... among others, there'll be lots of Buffett, Marley, Toots & the Maytalls, the soundtrack from "The Harder They Come" and some Jerry Jeff for good measure. Two favorites for this trip will be ...

to celebrate our anniversary:
The Moon is Still Over Her Shoulder

and for our last night on St John:
Cowboy Boots and Bathing Suits:
"We've been here a week or so,
Now it's finally time to go.
Can't believe how quickly time has flown.
Packin' up the bathing suits,
Gettin' out the cowboy boots.
That's a sign we must be going home."

Check the full lyrics out some time; it makes a great toast for your last night. Well, at least I think it does.

Cowboy Boots and Bathing Suits just went into my play list.

Ruth, you should have this playing from a speaker whenever the ferry is loading to go back to STT.

That's funny! When I played it for our friends on our last night on St John, I don't think there was a dry eye in the villa.

It is a song for the last call at the beach bar the night before going home.

Pour another for me.
