So They Caught the Barefoot Bandit. Twice.
How much do you know about that person sitting next to you, that family member you don’t see that often, or that mild-mannered 6”7’ former E.B. Lane intern that has a soft spot for branding and writing ads. On July 10th, on the island of Eleuthra in the Bahamas, I imagined family and people on the news saying:
“But he was such a nice guy. We never thought he was even capable of being this other person.”
It’s no secret that I’ve had an interesting year – from finding myself graduating in the midst of The Great Recession with President Obama leading the ceremony to job seeker to, finally, independent contractor. Suffice it to say, now that things were a little more steady in my life, I decided to hitch a ride with some family on a trip of a lifetime.
The actual trip went without a hitch. Who am I kidding? I had a blast! During the week, if I wasn’t eating amazing food or hanging out with family or great new friends, I was SCUBA diving, riding jet skis, island hopping and jumping off a 118-foot yacht. This is how all vacations should be and, ironically, I never wanted to leave.
