It gets harder and harder to go home and come back to the real world. Not only is it home to me, but there’s a certain attitude I’ve come to appreciate about the islands that can’t be matched! And it doesn’t help that the rest of my family on the mainland just moved back. At this point I’m not positive where I’ll be in a year but I do know that I need to start etching some plans…

The trip was the best I’ve had thus far as two of my friends and girlfriend made the trek  with me. We surfed, hiked, cruised, ate, ziplined, parasailed, ate some more, and even did a little partying(imagine that). So, in typical fashion I’ll let the pics do the talking. Enjoy:
