Day 1: We're here!
With four bags of luggage, a 32'' flat screen TV, a guitar and mandolin, Michael and I made our way from Knoxville to Chicago, then San Juan and finally to the British Virgin Islands. We arrived in the B.V.I. around 6 o'clock in the evening. It was surreal as we landed on Beef Island recognizing that we were not like the couples around us who were honeymooning here for a week or two. This was our new home, at least for the next year.
Our 1,300 lbs of belongings are still in Customs. I can't wait to get my hands on some of the items I brought to adorn the walls around here. This place most definitely needs a woman's touch. There will be three women here before too long.
My mom and sister, Whitney are coming on Sunday, along with my dad. A Caribbean Christmas it will be!
Pusser's (above photo: West End location) helped Michael find a villa a few weeks ago. It has the most amazing view of the Sir Francis Drake Channel. I'll have to snap a few photos. The wrap around screened in porch allows for the trade winds to sweep through the house, so much so that paperweights are a must!
