This was one of those quick last minute getaways. One good thing about working in corporate America is I could afford to travel. The bad thing is it was necessary in order for me to maintain some sort of balance. I stayed at the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino. I got a sweet deal on the room, a great airfare, a personally guided tour of the island (Dutch & French) and made many memories.

I caught wind the Julie Dexter was going to be performing with Mausiki Scales at the Juke Joint in the Sasafrass Ridge Mountains I had to go. But who, would brave the elements to enjoy such a treat (the cabins were full)? None buy by true ride or die hommie, KJ. We even tacked on a white water rafting ride down the Oconeee to the end. Thank God for true friends and lifelong friendships! http://www.mountainsoulatsassafras.com
