Brandon’s parents are here!
Brandon’s mom and dad are doing a great job acting as surrogates and making up for the fact that my own parents couldn’t make it down for this last week. they are funny and fun and adventurous and easy-going and easy to talk to.
his dad is like my dad: an eloquent truck driver with a dry sense of humour.
his mom is like my mom: supportive and proud with suitcases full of love.
the Mount Nevis Hotel has given them the best room they have and are taking great care to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable. we’re trying to hold up our end of the tour guide bargain by shuttling them to the beach and helping them spend a small fortune on eating out.
we’re all going snorkeling this afternoon. you know, take our minds off the Giant Scary Exam we just wrote and try to cheer us up with the consolation that if we have to come back to re-write in July it won’t be that bad because — hey! look! — little fishes under the water!

Enjoy Jen. You deserve a snorkel and then some! Hugs to you and B. I am thinking you won’t have to return to rewrite. I mean jeez, girl, you are practically a straight A student. Yes, I saw your marks. I know your middle name now.

So glad that we could make their stay here as good as it has been. I think they have really enjoyed it thus far and I am happy that they are having a good time. Hopefully, today will be great and we will get to say our collective final good-bye to the island!! Congrats on being done babe, you deserve it!!
