Hey, I finally got back! 
(I actually got back friday night, but.....I didn't unpack my lap top until today.)
In case you're wondering, there was no cell phone service on the island, and the internet was down. I was totally isolated for most of the trip. Subway had free wi-fi, and I tried to post something, but my lap top died before I could post it...
Anyways, there were some good things and bad things about my trip...
Good Things: The island was just as I remembered it. Nothing had changed at all. The weather was also great except for one day. I made friends with the local stray cats (which I'm still questioning the origins of. It is an island after all.). I went inside a Huricane Simulator (I was actually the guinea pig for this one. No one wanted to go in, but they wanted to see what would happen.) And I saw a baby white tip reef shark someone caught. They actually catch sharks there all the time, but I've never seen a reef shark. They're usually hammer heads or bonnet heads. Oh, and the plankton made the water glow blue in the early morning, and there were dolphins as always.
Bad Stuff: I got sun burned. Not much, but still. There were jellyfish. Freakin HUGE jellyfish that liked to get really close. Stayed out of the water after that.
Other than that.....that's pretty much all that happened.
