This isn't a "miss" item as I do it too often, telling people my phone number is six tree tree two, rather than 6332.

1. Carrying a cute little bag of essential accessories: Bull Frog, Cutter Advanced, After Bite, and anti-fog gel.
2. Losing track of the day of the week
3. Bikini bottoms as acceptable undie substitutes if I can't get away with commando
4. That moment of "clean" after showering off the sunblock and putting on the bug juice
5. Changing from the "everyday" flip flops to the "formal" black flip flops to wear to dinner in a sundress

1. The feeling of relief when you've made it safely around a switchback, only to be quickly replaced by panic when you see the next one and hear what sounds like a big cement truck honking. 2. Having your car break down and not stressing about it; instead, using it as an excuse to stop and have a Red Stripe and lunch with friends who just happened to pull up. 3. Leaving all your valuable things (money, camera) on the beach as you snorkel for an hour and knowing that everything will still be exactly where you left it. 4. Getting so accustomed to the heat that you feel like you need a jacket when you step into an air-conditioned building. 5. New friends -- lots of 'em -- that you know you will see again!

Getting attacked by the same evil hen everytime I ate lunch at the RoadTown bakery
Desperately trying to find the corpse of the dead lizard I knew was in the Montero someplace because it smelled so bad
After filling and lugging several crates of water jugs to the car, always having at least one that had a small split and leaked all over the car creating a minor flood
Being at Cane Garden Bay on a Sunday night and realizing that my gas tank was on empty and I forgot to fill it and had to drive home to Nanny Cay, praying I would be able to make it. (And I was dumb enough to do this several times)
