What Would You Name Your St. John Rental House?
If you had a St. John rental house, what would you name it?
I am partial to houses that are named after songs and that do not have the word "Villa" in the name.
How about you?

If it were to be your house, in keeping with the "theme," you'd have to consider "Spice of Life" ...
but then you could borrow Jimmy Buffet's [Island Fever (if that's legal since it most likely is copywrited) - mentions spices and flavors! (I experimented a bit - maybe it worked?)
Island Fever
I think I've got a touch of island fever
I do believe I feel a bit sauteed
This morning I was just some nonbeliever
Tonight I feel I've joing a wild crusade
I never thought of life as being breezy
I never thought of time as time to play
I never thought that I could take it easy
But all those feelings changed for me today
Layers and layers of spices and flavors
Are finding their way to my brain
Layers and layers of costumes and players
That make my whole life look insane
Palm trees and views I can't believe
Why would I ever want to leave?
I think I'll take my shoes off and go walking
Down beside the Caribbean Sea.
I like the funny sounds of parrots squawking
I think I hear a hammock calling me.
Layers and layers of spices and flavors
Could this be some kind of charade?
Layers and layers of costumes and players
I think I will join the parade

Maybe "Come Away With Me" or "Unchained Melody" or perhaps "Cool Change"
Too many choices!
I think the house would help to choose the name. I always named our puppies, but once their personalities came out, we would call them something different. I imagine it would be the same with an island home.

~~Longing to be back on St. John~~
I would go with Hidden Treasures.
I picked it from one of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs:
By: Jimmy Buffett
1974
Mother, mother ocean, i have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since i was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes i am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
I've done a bit of smugglin', i've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy miami, but i pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last
And i have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and i rallied and i sprung a few leaks
But i got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
(instrumental)
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though i ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while
Mother, mother ocean, after all the years i've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like i've drowned, gonna head uptown
XOXO
