Another Slice of Paradise

Benny and I spent the weekend with some friends at a villa in Ocho Rios. That's right, people, a villa. With a staff. And a private beach. This is a real hardship post, right? As you might guess, it was fantastic. The view from the living room was breath-taking. Scroll down if you don't believe me. Still breathing? Now picture yourself in the pool with a freshly made mango daquiri. It was so relaxing and fun. We didn't even let a little island-wide, 6 hour power outage put a damper on the party--we just warmed ourselves by the light of an I-Pod, a cellphone, and a pitcher (ok, 2 pitchers) of margaritas.
