Nevis and "New" Cars

Recently Andee decided that island living would be a lot more manageable with a car.  We discussed the pros and cons to having a car, and finally decided that we would try to buy one if the price was right....and it was!

After weeks of contemplation and the stalking of Value MD (a website for students of Caribbean Medical Schools), Andee finally decided on a car that he wanted to purchase - a black Mazda MX3.  The problem - the car was all the way in Nevis!  And how you may ask does one bring a car from one island to the next?  The Ferry of course!  There is a Ferry that brings both cars and their passengers from the neighboring islands of St. Kitts and Nevis daily!  Just add this to the list of obscure and interesting methods of living out our lives!  P.S. we named our car "Jamal"....just saying.

For Andee, the next couple weeks will be filled with studying galore, as he is in the midst of finals!  He will fly home a week after me, and may or may not be greeted with embarrassing and obnoxious signs decorated by the Aldridge Family.  Although he may not be excited about the signs, he will most definitely be excited to be back in Canada!

For me, the next few days will consist of packing, making food for Andee for when I am gone, and enjoying the amazing weather before heading back to the land of snow!  One more worship team on Sunday, one more set of laundry, at least one more beach day, and it's home time at last! 

Tonight is Issiah's birthday party (he turns 2!) and happy hour with some of the girls, and on Sunday there is an "end of semester" beach party.  That's right, we have beach parties in December.  Looking forward to the last weekend spent with my St. Kitts friends before the journey home!

Countdown: 5 days!!!  And boy am I ready to go home!
