Bad news- Our laptop crashed last week which will take Best Buy “a couple of weeks” to assess the problem. This is why I haven’t posted in a few days! Good news- We purchased a new touch screen desktop! It is pretty fantastic.  The screen is massive (23 inches widescreen) and doubles as a TV [...]

Gym-free Exercise in St. Lucia

Posted on June 15th, 2010, by Kasey

There was a gym at our resort. I did not even step foot inside it! I found plenty of other ways to get in some physical activity. For starters, our resort was laid out on the side of a mountain which provided some amazing views of the beach.  The steep terrain also provided a great [...]

First Day in Paradise

After our flight landed in St Lucia, we drove through acres and acres of banana plantations. This made me pretty hungry considering it had been over four hours since my last meal. The bananas were covered in blue plastic bags which I was told helps to protect the bananas from insects and birds. Our driver, [...]

Lunching in a Cafeteria

Posted on April 20th, 2010, by Kasey

Plenty of food options can be found in school/work cafeterias but healthy options can sometimes be far and few between.  My work’s cafeteria has a hot food line, grill line, and salad bar as well as “grab & go” items like fresh fruit, yogurt, and chips.  The hot line usually features three entree choices ranging [...]
