“Paradise for Relaxation & Adventuresome Traveler that Doesn't W” I knew I was heading to tropical paradise & expected to unwind & escape the winter. What I didn't expect was how completely I would sink into the native culture & succumb to the charms of Chai Light & of my hosts. I normally 'devour' destinations --new adventure is my definition of travel & tho fun I sometimes find myself a bit exhausted upon return.. This trip was different & I invigorated but still feeling Island attitude for weeks! My friends & I didn't crack any of the books we brought, play any games we intended, or watch any movies we'd recorded. What did we do? Sunset on the private dock with happy hour drinks watching "boat t.v." and enjoying the amazing parade of vessels of all typesmaking their way to safe harbor. Morning we'd wake up by ambling down to the dock & jumping into the warm water with our snorkels & fins to visit our favorite fish & marvel at the brain coral. Sometimes we'd walk down the hill to Leverick Bay Resort for a leisurely diner & to hang with the locals & charter boat crowd--several times partying with the Jumbies (check them out!) What I loved about this location & the home was that it was close to "action" but set apart from a typical tourist environment--perfect noncommercial vacation. Highlights when we ventured: Anagada was a great charter right from Leverick, good snorkeling & amazing lobster lunch .The Baths were serene & dramatic & we spent several afternoons swimming thru the caves then enjoying sunset from the restaurant up top. Spanish Town had a few nice shops & good live music at night in a safe but fun atmosphere. I didn't feel a need to plan any activity, we just did what we felt when we felt like it -several days lounging at Chai Light just "being". The hosts are knowledge & helpful. The island & is calm & inviting. The water is as blue as any Chamber of Commerce postcard I've ever seen. The waves lapping on the shore cooing me to sleep were better than any "mood" CD I've ever tried. I'll be back.
