PLANNIN' MY ANNUAL ESCAPE

Yay! The best thing about summer ending is planning my escape...My escape to Eleuthera. Lenny says it best and and he should know.




Eleutheria


Lenny Kravitz


My life is perfect

Because I accept it as it is

The sunshine is shining

Because it is what it is


What a beautiful feeling it's bringing

All the birds in the sky are singing


Eleutheria the fire is burning

Eleutheria the tables are turning


A new day is dawning

Because it is time for a change

With new consciousness forming

There comes a new day


Oh we got to got to keep on trying

When the children are cold and alone

And are crying

You got to understand


Eleutheria the bells are ringing

Eleutheria the people are singing

Eleutheria the people are yearning

Eleutheria this world keeps on turning

Turning


What a beutiful feeling

It's bringing

All the birds in the sky are singing

You got to understand


Eleutheria the fire is burning

Eleutheria the tables are turning

Eleutheria the bells are ringing

The people keep singing

The fire is burning

The tables are turning Got to keep on...Keep on keepin' on


An island like no other...for me, anyway. No commercialism, friendly inhabitants struggling to make a living. The most beautiful beaches in the world. A place to kick back and relax..no problem. No fancy clothes...no fancy hotels...no tour buses...Just simple serenity.


Doesn't look like much...until you actually get on the island. It's beauty is intense...in a very simple way. We will never be able to visit all of the beaches on the island. Some are hidden away, only accessible by boat or a long trek through thick foliage. They will ALL take your breath away.





Beautiful people, beautiful island...beautiful peace.


This year I am SO lucky to be able to go for two weeks. I'm looking forward to visiting a place that seems to never change. It feels good. I know that changes are coming to Eleuthera and my only wish is that these changes will improve the lives of those that live there.

It's no wonder that Lenny comes "home" to rejuvenate and get back to his roots. His roots are strong and so is this small island. No pretenses...no paparazzi..nobody to impress. Just kick back and enjoy it's beauty and people.


My bags are packed..LOL..I don't need anything but some muu muus, a bathing suit and a couple of shorts and tee shirts. Groceries on the island are sparse and expensive..and name brands are virtually non-existent. I have my extra large jar of JIF peanut butter and plenty of tea bags for my in house thirst. Most of my afternoons will be spent on a beautiful beach with a trip to a local bar to finish it off. My fishing gear is boxed up and ready to go in the suitcase. If the mood strikes I'll try my luck down the steps from our cozy cottage on the caribbean side of the island. I hope to snorkel with the sea turtles and the starfish to my heart's content.






Good friends...fun times...nothing but relaxation...and NO drama! Ahhhhh...it's gonna be great!

Until the time gets here I'll just keep on keepin' on...and dance to pass the time.








Put the music on, Miss BayBay!
