It's been about 24 hours since we landed in the British Virgin Islands . So far, I'm liking our new home .
My husband is working for a company headquartered here and they helped him find a villa a few weeks ago. It has the most amazing view of the Sir Francis Drake Channel. I'll have to snap a few photos. The wrap around screened in porch allows for the trade winds to sweep through the house, so much so that paperweights are a must!
Our 1,300 lbs of belongings are still in customs. I can't wait to get my hands on some of the items I brought to adorn the walls around here. This place most definitely needs a woman's touch. There will be three women here before too long.
My mom and sister are coming on Sunday, along with my dad. A Caribbean Christmas it will be!
My sister is actually bringing our miniature schnauzer Milly with her. We couldn't bring her on Monday, because her paperwork wasn't finalized. I can't wait to have her here and see her reaction to the new landscape.
During our first day here, we did a few very important things, including opening a bank account, buying a car, and for me - getting a pedicure! That's right, this Tennessee girl didn't have time to get one before she left!
I wanted to wear my Stephen Bonnanos today, and needed a matching nail polish. I went with OPI's "I only drink Champagne." Love that!
My lady at the spa was nice - her name was Breezy. That's right. Breezy. I quickly got past that and was able to ask her a lot of questions about who I should get to cut my hair, where to grocery shop, etc...All in all, it was a lovely way to spend my time while Mr. SDP was at the bank.
Let the BVI adventure begin!
Awesome! Glad that you arrived safely. I cannot wait to read more about your island adventure. This is going to be one amazing experience for both of you!
ReplyDeletewill you be working while you are there??
I am staying on with my PR firm back in Tennessee - thank goodness for wireless internet! Working remotely may present its challenges, but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteToday's island adventure includes attending my first Tortola Ladies Club luncheon. Apparently, they have speakers once a month for this event. A post about this event will be in order!!
