Exploits of a Vegan Wannabe

I have the most phenomenal news to share….Sandy and I have made it through the first filter and are being considered to be in an episode of a new show on the Travel Channel debuting this fall. This would require us to go to The Virgin Islands  the first week of March, Yay! In the initial pitch to the casting company Sandy told them about our vegan-ness and love of all things compassionately edible. I don’t know for a fact, but what if we were the Travel Channels first vegans?? That would be SO exciting. I am  ready to eat my way through the Caribbean.

We were given five days to produce a casting video (a what?) which we are filming today with the expertise of the producer of our cooking show. They are filming us at various locales including a sexy, high end produce store, our favorite Thai restaurant, Bangkok 96, writing the blog and walking our dogs. Most of my favorite things. The only thing missing is an 85 degree day and a banana daquiri….both of which are waiting for me in the Virgin Islands. I am celebrating my fourtieth birthday on February 24th and the one thing I wanted for my birthday was to travel someplace tropical and sunny. I want to reclaim my tan lines and the sense of well being that comes with a week spent basking in the sun. I want to celebrate my birth and honor my life with exhilerating new experiences, tropical vegan foods and snorkel trips that seem to never end. This is very exciting. I will keep you posted.
