We left San Francisco on February 10, 2010 with a plan to head south to Mexico and then make the innocently named "puddle jump" to the South Pacific (!!) this spring. From there, who knows?!?!?!? Maybe Fiji? Australia? New Zealand? For now, we're just thrilled to finally be out at sea! 
In honor of our good friend Jeff and his upcoming adventures, I am giving away his band’s latest CD to one lucky commenter!!
VANDELLA has an awesome sound, a sort of folk-rock style, and their concerts are fabulous. IN FACT, if you’re in San Francisco **THIS THURSDAY** please go see them at the Red Devil Lounge. Matt and I will be there and I’d love to see YOU!!!
Anyway, if you’re interested in some awesome new music, leave a comment answering this question (of particular concern to me at the moment):
If you were stranded on a desert island (or in a life raft!) and could only have one book with you (ok, maybe 2), what book(s) would you bring??????
Seriously? Only two? Perhaps you should invest in a kindle before you ship off! I’m going to give more than 2 :0)
Sookie stackhouse series by charlaine Harris
the hunger game & catching fire by Collins
bitter is the new black (and her other books) Jen Lancaster
anything by augusten buroughs, Alison wynn scotch, Marian keyes, and curtis sittenfeld.
I have a whole list I keep on my computer if you’d like it :0)
right now I’m *slowly* making my way through gone with the wind. It’s good, but very wordy!
ummmm, I’m going to have to say – Moby Dick. What other ONE book could possibly be the right choice for a sea voyage?
Karen,
Listen sweet thing we need to figure out a way to get you a Kindle. Robert has one and just loves it! There are tons of free Classic books that could keep you busy for awhile. Let me try and figure out a way to make this happen.
Hugs
Jamie, you are too nice! We’ve considered getting a kindle but haven’t bit the bullet yet… please don’t go out of your way to do anything!!! 🙂
Alex – yes, I suppose that would be appropriate. haha 🙂
Kristi – you rock! Thanks for all the suggestions!
Since the only ones likely to be stranded on a desert island any time soon are you and your new hubby, I say bring the “Joy of Sex.” It might come in handy on those long and lonely sea passages as well, I should think. Cuddle over Kindle any day.
I would bring The Life of Pi and if you have read it you would know why…
