What I learned on my Jamaican vacation...


Just returned from a week @ Riu Ocho Rios in Jamaica.  This is what I learned:
  1. I heart rum (OK - I already knew this...)
  2. I cannot pass up an opportunity to eat mango
  3. New favorite rum drink:  caipirissima
  4. Floating in water while staring out to sea brings clarity of thought
  5. Underwater handstand contests can get very competitive
  6. Lounge chair, iPod and rum drink = happiness trifecta
  7. New favorite sunscreen:  Neutrogena UltraSheer Body Mist
  8. Laziness heals
  9. Tanning is still alive and well in some circles (come on, people - even if you aren't afflicted by skin cancer who wants sun damage and premature wrinkles?)
  10. The more I am told to relax (e.g. "You're in Jamaica!  Relax!  No problem!) the more uptight I get
  11. It is better to nap in the afternoon than drink a cup of coffee
  12. There's never a bad time to do the dance routine from Thriller 
  13. Johnny Cash had a home outside of Montego Bay
  14. It's possible to tire of sloth-filled days
  15. I need prescription sunglasses
