Wow:
What do you get when you take 4 dudes, 1 girl, a Jeep Wrangler and let them loose in tropical paradise?...A good time.

Our trip was amazing. I am usually relieved when I end a vacation, but I am full blown depressed that I have to come home to a monsoon, rather than remain in tropical paradise. This trip was special in many ways. Me, Paul, Jay and Buch have been going away for camping events for close to 8 years now. This was the first big trip we have done. And in all honesty, we did it up right. Everything came out perfect. We rented two villas on the beach. 4 floors, 4 bathrooms, 4 decks, 6 beds, 5 people. All you had to do was roll out of bed and you were on the beach.

The roster was amazing. The Katee Frost factor was welcomed with open arms. Not only was it great to have her there so we didn't have to rub lotion on each others backs, but she really is a fun, sweet, laid-back, open-minded girl who would make a fine addition to any roster. With all that said, I'm sure the over/under for the amount of days it goes before she starts ignoring us again in somewhere in the 1.3-1.41 range.

The best part about this vacation was that I got to do everything I wanted. There was plenty of time to chill and hang out, I went Jet-Skiing, we took a (dobbs) ferry to St. John for the day, went snorkeling, went out to fine restaurants, hit the beach, and went out at night... It's not like family vacations where you are stuck on a rigid schedule that's been planned out for 3 months. I think a big part of it was everyone was cool enough with everyone else to split up.

Paul and Jay took a ton of video. As soon as I can get it, I'll post it. For now, my pics are here.

Also, the voting is not in yet, but it looks like the MVP might be won by either John Buchalter or the Jeep Wrangler.
