And with the many different hues of the blue water grouped with warm sandy beaches, green lush hillsides, and the friendly hospitable people, one can’t go wrong moving here. Enter Quinn… a girl from land-locked Colorado who has dreamt of living in the Caribbean since she went SCUBA diving in Roatan, Honduras back in high school.

If Once You Have Slept on An Island

If Once You Have Slept on An Island

A hundred year old poem that has stood the test of time... If once you have slept on an island You'll never be quite the same: You may look as you looked the day before And go by the same old name, You may bustle about in street and shop You may sit at home and sew,...

Either you are into searching, scouting and finding out new, (yeah, new what??), new everything or you are not. I belong to the first category.  For me part of living on a Rock is embracing the style/ways and quirkiness of that Rock. Having moved to a new Rock a year...
