Do You Like Pina Coladas and Getting Caught in the Rain?

Saturday night I got back from a wonderful and fabulous week in Jamaica: Home of Bob Marley. Luckily for me, I love Bob – as does every single Jamaican as well apparently. It is impossible to grasp the fact I am home now. I want to be back in Jamaica, on the beach, sipping pina coladas, margaritas, daiquiris and so many other delicious drinks. It’s a lifestyle I think I am cut out for, haha! I am about 105% certain I could spend the rest of my life on a beach and be happier than God Himself. Of that I am certain.

I want to be back where “Yeah Mon” and “No Problem” are a consistent and frequent part of daily vocabulary. Back to where being 20 minutes late is not only expected but accepted island-wide. Back to where beautiful places like Dunns River Falls exist. Peacefully. Quietly. And beautiful.

Arriving home was temporarily crushing. Coming home to snow and minus degree temperatures was expected. But wanted? No. Not even a little bit. I miss the smell of Jamaica. I miss the sun. I miss the ocean and the beach. I miss Bob Marley blaring from every passing-by car. I miss Jamaica.
