13 hours from now, i’ll be boarding a plane for barbados. some suggestions for anyone reading this (as if anyone ever does…):

• if you or your friends get married, convince them to go to barbados.
• it may sound hot, but really, this is no hotter than toronto in july.
• don’t book the trip for you and your girlfriend and then break up with her. change penalties = hernia-quality pain. the travel agent joked that it’ll be nearly as expensive for me to dump her as it will be for my friend to get married.
• just because you saved a bunch of money by shopping at the bay instead of harry rosen for your clothes, does not mean you should then go to cole-haan and buy these.
