“Let’s go camping.”

“I want a resort.”

“But I need nature.”

“The beach is nature.”

“Cinnamon Bay?”

“Cinnamon Bay!”

Miniscule waves, clear as the Caribbean sky, lick the pearlescent grains of sand, drawing the sugary beach into the tide like a child eating a snow cone. The unspoiled, condo free Cinnamon Bay on St. John inspires enough sickly sweet metaphors to rival the first chapter of a Robert Ludlum novel.

Ain’t Land a Bitch

Like the last kernel to pop in the pot, I bounced around the co-pilot seat repeating “Yeah that’s gonna leave a mark.” rubbing my hips from the brutal seatbelt attack. I like rough plane rides; especially in small aircraft like the Cessna 302 making its approach into Key West.

I drew the lucky straw for the co-pilot seat in Miami on the short flight to Key West. Answering an ad on Craigslist, a 1947 Nivens 34-foot wooden sailboat was waiting my arrival. This rare find was a stroke of luck. If the boat checked out as described, I would make the eight hour sail back to Fort Lauderdale that afternoon.

One, two, three hops and an armrest breaking grip, the Cessna rolled down the runway. Several “phews” escaped the passengers sitting behind me. The pilot wiped a few beads of sweat from his face that did not look old enough to grace a driver’s license. I couldn’t resist a quip.

Sydney harbour bridge

Sydney is an aspirational destination. It’s not the kind of place you pop off to for the weekend seeing as it’s a 24-hour flight away. But the very fact that it’s on the other side of the world that makes it so appealing and magical. It is also one of the world’s most beautiful cities in one of the most stunning countries in the world. It is cosmopolitan but small-town feeling; people are friendly, there is much to see and do and the restaurant and nightlife scene is second to none.
