ʻO Bethany Ludwick Huakaʻi Huakaʻi: Malaki 2018

Mei 1, 2018 ʻO ka lele ʻana i St. Barths post ʻO Irma kahi hui o ka hauʻoli a me ka hopohopo. "Pehea inā ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo he maikaʻi ke ʻano o ka mokupuni?" "Pehea inā e ʻeha maoli ka naʻau ke ʻike i ka luku ʻia?". "Pehea inā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke haʻi pololei i nā mea kūʻai aku e pili ana i koʻu ʻike?" ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua huli koke ka hopohopo i ka hauʻoli nui a me ke kaniʻuhū nui; “Auwe. maikaʻi ia ka hale"

Ua noʻonoʻo wau iā St. Barths ma ke ʻano he home lua no kekahi manawa i kēia manawa. (Ma hope o ʻekolu mau makahiki o koʻu kipa ʻana, ʻoi aku koʻu ʻike o ka poʻe ma ʻaneʻi ma mua o ke kaona aʻu i ulu ai). He mea kupanaha ka hoʻolohe ʻana i nā moʻolelo o nā hoaaloha i ka wā o ka ʻino a ʻike koke wau ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke noʻonoʻo i ka nui o kā lākou ʻike.

He mea leʻaleʻa kekahi mau moʻolelo, e like me ka hoa nāna i wehe iā ia paʻa a paʻa palekana i ka ninini ʻia ʻana o ka wai me ka pāpaʻi ola, a i ʻole ka mea hoʻoheheʻe hiki ʻole ke hoʻākāka ʻia e pulu ʻana a e hana mau ana, no laila e hele mai nā hoaaloha a hoʻohana i kāna pūnaewele. He mau moʻolelo maikaʻi loa e pili ana i kahi kaiāulu ikaika e hana pū ana - "Hiki iaʻu ke hoʻoponopono i kou hale i kēia manawa a hiki iā ʻoe ke uku iaʻu ke komo mai kāu kālā ʻinikua", a i ʻole ke kono ʻana i nā poʻe a pau o kou kaiāulu e ʻai no ka mea ʻaʻohe ou uila, ua puhi ʻia ka bbq. i luna, a kaʻana like ʻoe i kāu meaʻai no ka mea e pōʻino wale nō me ka ʻole o ka pahu hau. He ʻokoʻa nā moʻolelo āpau - pragmatic, mahalo, mahalo, makaʻu, a me ka luhi.

E hoʻi i ka mokupuni ponoʻī - ma kahi huaʻōlelo - kupaianaha! He ʻulaʻula nā māla a me ka leʻaleʻa a ke oli nei nā manu. Aia nā lāʻau pāma i nā ʻano like ʻole akā ʻo ka mea holoʻokoʻa, me he mea lā ke hoʻōla maikaʻi nei lākou. ʻO kekahi mea kupanaha ka nele o ka walaʻau kūkulu. Ua ʻōlelo kekahi no ka mea ke kali nei ka poʻe i nā koi ʻinikua, hiki ke lilo i kumu kūpono. ʻIke ʻia ka hana ma ka Pōhaku ʻEdena! Aia nā mea hana a me nā mīkini kaumaha ma nā wahi āpau, ʻoiai ua kūkulu lākou i kahi pā nui a puni ka waiwai i hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i loko ke wehe ʻia ke komo ʻana. ʻO ka pā, ma ke ala, ua pena ʻia ʻo "eden rock red" me nā ʻōlelo e like me #stronger than Irma.

ʻO nā villa a mākou i kipa aku ai i ke ʻano maikaʻi loa! ʻO ka pūnaewele ma nā villa a mākou i noho ai, listen, 'OHEZ, a PAT, ua hana me ka hala ole, ua haawi mai ka satellite tv i ka lono kakahiaka i kela la i keia la, ua piha na loko, a me he mea la aole i hiki mai.

Loaʻa i nā puka makani hale kūʻai hale kūʻai nā mea hōʻikeʻike nani, nui nā koho no ka ʻai ʻana i waho, a no ka hapa nui, ua piha nā hale kūʻai. Aia kekahi mau manawa i loko o 11 mau lā kahi i hoʻopaneʻe ʻia ai nā mea e like me ka pata a me ka yogurt a me kēlā ʻano o nā huahana waiū i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, akā ʻaʻole ia he mea nui. Inā ʻaʻohe yogurt, hana ʻia kahi croissant hou, a i ʻole kahi ʻāpana huaʻai hou. Pīhoihoi loa au i ka maikaʻi o nā hua hou, ka paʻakai a me nā pahu meaʻai i hoʻomākaukau ʻia i piha mau, a ua nui nā baguettes i nā manawa a pau!

Ua like ke 'ano o ke ke'ena o WimcoSBH (nui), me ka po'e concierge i loko o ko lākou mau pālule pa'a, nā'ōmole o Evian a me ka pepa NY Times ma ka papa no nā mea kū'ai, a me ka lolouila e kono ana i nā mea kū'ai mai e "ho'ohana ia'u no kou hele 'ana".

Villa Marie he meaʻai a nani ke nānā aku! He mākaʻikaʻi lōʻihi mākou i nā lumi a me kekahi o nā villa ʻekolu. Hauʻoli wau e hāʻawi aku iā ia i nā mea kūʻai aku - ʻoluʻolu loa nā lumi a hoʻonohonoho maikaʻi ʻia. ʻO nā limahana he ʻoihana a me ka hoʻopili ʻana, a me ka lawelawe ʻoi loa. ʻO ka ʻaina awakea ma ka loko wai he oasis huna. Hoʻomaha ka mele a ma ka leo kūpono, ua hoʻopuni ʻia ka loko i nā lāʻau pāma, aia ka makani ʻoluʻolu, mālie a manaʻo wau he ea o ka maʻalahi. Ua kaupalena ka papa kuhikuhi akā maikaʻi loa ka meaʻai.

ʻO Christopher Hotel wehe wale i ko lakou Hale ʻaina Mango no ka ʻaina awakea i ka Pōʻalima. Ua hana lākou i kahi hana koʻikoʻi ma ke kau ʻana i ka pā a puni ka loko wai kaʻawale a loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi valet maikaʻi me ka ʻakaʻaka i ka hōʻea ʻana. Pīhoihoi au i nā mea āpau ma ka papa kuhikuhi a makemake wau i nā mea kūʻai aku. He wahi kūpono ia no nā mea kūʻai aku e ʻimi nei i ka ʻaina awakea "nā manamana wāwae i ke one" a ma hope paha o ka pule aʻe, manaʻolana lākou e wehe ʻia no ka cocktails napoʻo.

Aia nā hōʻailona o Irma kokoke i 8 mau mahina ma hope? ʻAe, maopopo. ʻO Flamands kahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o nā mea e pono ai ke hana i kahi ala nui. Hiki i nā mea kūʻai ke hele mai a hauʻoli? ʻOiaʻiʻo!! ʻO kahi hoʻomaha ma St Barths he mea kūikawā a hoʻomaha e like me nā manawa a pau. ʻO kēia ka huakaʻi maikaʻi loa? Malia paha. ʻO nā moʻolelo o ke kaiāulu a me ka lokomaikaʻi he mea hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi ia no ka pōmaikaʻi o mākou. Manaʻo wau e liʻuliʻu ma mua o koʻu hoʻopiʻi ʻana no ka lohi o ka pūnaewele, me ka huhū no ka pau ʻana o kahi ʻōpuʻu kukui a manaʻo ʻia he mea keakea nui, a i ʻole ua hoʻopilikia ka hau liʻiliʻi i ka ipu ukali e like me kaʻu hōʻike punahele e hiki mai ana. .

He mea kupaianaha maoli nō ʻo St. Barths a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohālua ʻia, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻino ma mua o ka makani nui no kēia ʻāpana o ka lani e nalowale kona ʻuhane.
