T-shirts and Memories

I’m a t-shirt and flip-flop girl.  Don’t let anyone try to trick you and tell you otherwise…

Now when I was teaching grades 6-12 mathematics for 13 years, I had teacher dress code, but let me tell ya, I lived for those Friday jeans days!  (Yes, I can hear some AMENS out there!!)  Now, since staying home when #2 was born and tutoring online, then evolving into my travel passion, I was able to alter that dress code some.  Quite a bit, actually!  While I have shed tears and said many prayers for our islands in the paths of the Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Jose, I had to smile in my heart this morning picking out what to wear today.  I grabbed a few of the short-sleeve t-shirts – all places devastated by Irma in the past 24 hours and some we have yet to see pictures of. Our wedding island was St John in 2003, we spent almost two weeks in the BVI / USVI in August 2016 (plus three other trips to USVI in 2016 alone).   That area and people are just very, very special to me.

The next time you are traveling…

purchase a t-shirt!

There are several benefits:

  • support the local economy
  • save on your packing for the trip to just buy your clothes along the way
  • t-shirts roll well for packing cubes, making them lightweight and efficient to pack
  • brings back special memories each time you wear one for years to come
  • when one starts getting worn out, book another trip back!!

So to some of my most favorite places, Cheers!! You will be back and WE will be back!  As always, get the #MostPerMile out of what you do, including those souvenir t-shirts purchased on your travels!!
