F.A.T.

I know you're on the edge of your seats. Did Mona come back from St. John? Was she abducted by sea turtles? Were all Caribbean flights mysteriously canceled? Did she permanently settle into her sand castle on Cinnamon Bay?

I wish. I'm home. After tears and reluctance leaving IslandDiva and her adorable family behind on the ferry dock, I'm home. It was everything I wanted my mini-holiday to be: relaxing, sun-kissed, water-drenched, snorkel-filled, sandy and brimming with exotic tropical drinks. Who knew a bushwacker could be so lethal?

Mona's Apple is suffering from severe backlog at the moment. I hope to write about my Memorial Day vacation before Christmas. I promise to get back on track this coming week, but until then, I'm still on island time and here's your Fridays About Town:
