Embracing Spontaneity: Swimming Clothes-On in Saint Lucia

Today I decided, while walking along a beach in Saint Lucia, that I was so hot that even though I didn't have a bathing suit I would jump in the water in my clothes. . . I felt awkward about it at first, but then I realized nobody really cared because, hey, this is Saint Lucia and there are way more interesting things to look at than some girl swimming in yoga pants. . . Life is like that sometimes. It took me about 20 minutes to finally make this silly decision. And in the end it felt oh so good. . . Stop worrying about what other people think. In travel. In business. In life. And if you're spending a long time pondering "if you should just do it," you probably should :)
