Welcome! Tally ho!

Our B.V.I. Adventure is designed to give our family, friends and any other interested followers a look into the life of two expatriates making their way on the island of Tortola. Tortola is the largest island in the British Virgin Islands.

So, why did we move 2,000 miles away from our home in Knoxville, Tennessee? Michael accepted a position as the director of retail and international sales for a Caribbean clothing brand.

Cheers!

Adventurers

And Mr. Movember 2010 is...

Mr. William Callewaert!  All of the contestants who've been growing their mustaches all month competed for the top prize for Mr. Movember on Tuesday night .  The stache bash was held at Nanny Cay.

There were a variety of categories:  Best Handlebar, Best Celebrity Lookalike, Classiest, Sexiest, etc...

We had such fun watching all of the mo bros compete for prizes and ultimately raise money to promote awareness of prostate cancer and the need for men to be screened.  All of the money raised during Movember will be donated to the BVI Chapter of the Red Cross.

What a fun event!  If Michael were able to sport facial hair at work, he would've made a great mo bro!

Gro It. Sho It. Mo It.

That's the tagline of  - what has to be - one of the funniest events here in the British Virgin Islands.  It's called Movember {pronounced Moe-vember.}  Participants will attempt to grow a mustache - the creepier the better, I hear - and raise money for charity at the same time.  It is a competition of course and the reigning Mr. Movemember wrote this funny piece about the event in the BVI Beacon.

On Sunday at the Tamarind Club, guys could pre-register and get a nice clean shave poolside.  They want to make sure everyone starts on a level playing field.  {Insert stache joke here.}
Michael's band, Da Tree Men played and entertained the crowd.  My friend Joanna took this photo of Michael and Adam, two of "da tree" band members.  She has a really awesome camera (a Canon I believe) and she's quite talented behind the lense!
It was the perfect end to the Halloween weekend.  Swimming in the pool, listening to great live music (I'm not biased, am I?) and hanging out with friends make the perfect Sunday Funday.
