Today is a very sad day for me, first I am sad that people have picked on me for wanting to carry stones from my dead friends and family. Why do people want to make a good thing in to such a bad thing.... But that is nothing, I have think skin and well that doesn't bother me so much.... All my...
Well today I collected my last stone. I know it's tradition to carry a stone from home but I have desired to be a little different. I am going to carry a small stone from the graves of my family and friends that have passed away. 10 small stones, 10 little spirits to look after me when I start...
Hi there, I have a small primus stove I wanted to carry with me. But if I fly I can't carry the gas, is there any shops in Saint Jean I could buy gas for it?
