33 more ...

wake ups in St Croix.  33 more walks on the beach and steps in the Caribbean (I have vowed to step foot on sand and in water every day until I leave - you would think I did this every day anyway, but amazing how many days and weeks go by without it!).  33 more times to spend with friends.  33 more days surrounded by obnoxious roosters and dogs.  33 more nights watching glorious sunsets. 

It is so hard to believe I'm down to 33 days already.  This has truly been the experience of a lifetime.  I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend six months in paradise (well, except for the aforementioned chickens!), and St Croix will always hold a special place in my heart.  The friendships I have made will last a lifetime.  As much as I have loved it here, it is amazing how many signs there have been lately that I am ready to move on.  I'll be so sad to leave this beautiful and warm place, but I am really looking forward to being home!
