Two Lovely Days, Where? Gorgeous Catalina Island, California
On an unusually gloomy day I found myself hanging out in the Commodore lounge on board a Catalina Express ferry with my friend Jacki.

Chasing Adventure in the Dominican Republic
I'm standing at the edge of a mountain, taking in the gorgeous city sprawled below me. I hear the commands "Run, run!" The body instinctively resists but I take a leap of faith and go.

Those were the words going through my mind as I witnessed the performance of the internationally acclaimed zouk band "Kassav' perform on my old stomping ground in my hometown of Soufriere (St. Lucia).
