Having grown up watching Beverly Hills 90210 reruns I've always had a very unrealistic and romanticized view of beach parties.
Somehow in spite of going on frequent trips to sunny beaches, somehow there's been none of these much desired beach parties to date. Until now - and a Caribbean one should make up for 28 years of this missing aspect of my life I reckoned.
I reckoned wrong. My beach party experience was nothing like in Beverly Hills 90210. I'm still distraught.
Firstly, no one looked remotely like Luke Perry in 1992. Or even Luke Perry in 2014. I am not a happy bunny.
Secondly, the thing with beach parties they fail to divulge on TV is the sand. Sand literally everywhere. For weeks and months. Most likely I'll still find sand in my ears come Christmas.
Thirdly. I probably watched too much TV as a kid.
Apart from the sand and the lack of Lukes, it was quite fun actually. In true Caribbean reggae style.
There's a fourth thing. The kids in Beverly Hills 90210 were, well - kids, and most likely unlike us, they stayed at the beach longer than until 10 pm.
