I"™m back!!! Sorry for anyone who has missed the "A Whole Lotta BS" column, but I was on a spectacular vacation to the British Virgin Islands. We went to the island of Virgin Gorda, which got its name from Christopher Columbus. He stated that the island resembles a fat virgin when looked at horizontally. It is a beautiful place with some of the nicest people in the world. I was joined with my girlfriend, Frances, and my brother"™s girlfriend, Rebecca. We stayed in an enchanted resort known as Little Dix Bay (laugh it up). It just so happens that the Schroy boys fit in well there.
The week consisted of a whole lot of nothing. We would eat too much, rest on the beach, and play tennis. There was the occasional scuba diving trip, but that was the most action I saw. Unfortunately I developed a horrible toothache on the trip. This put a minor damper on my island getaway.
Once a year the island, Tortola, has a carnival. All the best dentists reside on Tortola, but they were all off duty for the festivities. The pain was so bad that we hired a charter from Virgin Gorda to St. John"™s, in the US Virgin Islands, to possibly perform an emergency root canal. The afternoon before leaving one of the locals told me about his secret to tooth pains, a thing they call Tequila. It was strictly used for medical purposes, but it worked so well that I was able to cancel my charter to St. John"™s and continue enjoying paradise.
Now I am back to the real world, getting ready to shed the ten pounds the island gave me. I will have a big story coming up in the next couple days!
