It took us only 30 days to reduce our entire existence down to 1 backpack each. We arrive in the Caribbean and our lives now revolve around zip-lock bags.
Every single thing involves water, we live on a boat, we motor to the mainland with a dingy and our primary transport is a kayak which takes us from bay to bay, boat to island and boat to boat.
We have a zip-lock bag for our mobile phone, money bag, lip ice and sunblock. There is another zip-lock bag for a towel, sarong and Joshua's t-shirt. The third zip-lock bag has fruit and snacks.
You don't leave the boat or land without all your belongings in a zip-lock bag. If you do you will suffer the wrath of salt water and beach sand.
Besides that, it is summer and its the rainy season. You can bet your bottom dollar that you will get caught in a rain shower along your journey whether it be on land or out to sea.
If you are walking the streets on the island and the heavens open, all you do is dash to the closest Rum House and take cover with the locals. There are at least 3 on any one road so shelter is easy to find.
The locals welcome visitors with open arms so feel free to take cover and enjoy a hearty chat. Friendliness is free of charge.
Back to the zip-lock bags... If you meat up with a friend, guaranteed she or he will pull out their famous zip-lock bag. Too hilarious for words.
If you are keen to send us a parcel then please pack in a couple of zip-lock bags too. They are guaranteed to come in handy
Backpacks, Crocs and zip-lock bags are now our way of life and its just too cool!
