Back again

Have I really been away from this blog for a month? Sadly, yes. And I was doing so well posting nearly every day!

The absence is certainly not due to a lack of things to write about. There is so much going on, so much to write about, and so little time time to do it justice.

So, where to start. Even though there is a whole back log of stuff (the whole month of March and the official start of Spring), most of it is old news by now. And for everyone for whom winter still lingers, there is no point in revisiting that.

So where to start? How about the present?

I'm writing this on a beautiful warm sunny morning in St. Lucia. Since we made the decision we are not going to move here, we figured I should come back one more time before Elaine leaves. Yes, the door is always open to return and there are some good reasons to come back. But honestly? We probably won't, at least not soon. Elaine might come back as a consultant at some point, but I probably won't.

We both agree there is a kind of "been there, done that" feeling about it. The island certainly is beautiful and we've met some wonderful people here. St Lucia just doesn't feel like "home." And there are so many other places to explore, other islands, other countries, other worlds. This likely will be my farewell to St Lucia. So we are going to make the most of it!
