Tunes, Tropics, And Trannies

I stole today's idea from my friend Tammy, who posted pictures from her St. Lucia wedding to help her get in a 'warm weather' state of mind. Don't get me wrong, our weather has been beautiful the past few days here....in the 50's...... but nothing can beat a trip to the Caribbean in my book. Plus I just realized it was one year ago this week that D and I were cruising on Cayamo....a 7 day music cruise that stopped in Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Mexico. D even got to shake hands with Lyle Lovett. We also got to enjoy Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Shawn Mullins and many more.

Here's to a warm state of mind. Or warped. Whichever.

Our bartender in Jamaica.



I had to buy it.



Um- I loved the 'Art'!!!



I loved the decor.



I loved the colors.



I love big hair.



Darrin spreading some of Grandma's ashes over Jamaica.

This is Big Headed Bob and Tom Sr. (A.K.A. Pops....Tom Jr. is not pictured here because he was hiding from me.)
We met the 3 of them on the ship and still keep in touch through email.
They are going again this year, and I'm so very jealous.

The gorgeous Emmylou Harris.

Lyle & John.

Donkey wearing a hat.

D proposing to me with gum hanging out of my mouth.
Kidding, he wasn't proposing.



I loved this coconut- it even came with an alcoholic beverage in it. Perfect.



My foot with Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller.

Our shadows in Jamaica.

And of course no trip would be complete without a transvestite bartender hitting on Darrin!



HAHA. Awesome!
It was such a great trip.
And a perfect way to feel all warm and fuzzy and inside in this cold a** weather.
