Nothing is quite as calming as a pictures of a palm tree next to beautiful blue water, and over the years we’ve amassed a nice collection of these types of pics. So…we thought we’d put some of our favorites together to share with you. Actually, we can’t verify that they are all palm trees – sorry- we’re far from palm experts, but they’re definitely palm looking plants that give us the same tropical feel! Since we couldn’t narrow it down any more than this, this is a sort of Tropical Palm Pictorial Journal. Pull up a glass of rum and enjoy a little tropication!
No wonder it’s called “Palm” Island…(The Grenadines)
Gorgeous palms on Saltwhistle Bay Beach, Mayreau.
Shoal Bay, Anguilla. This one gets extra points for the hammock :)
Palm Tree Tire Swing in Cane Garden Bay, Tortola
O.K, these are palm fronds on a palapa (and a small palm to the right), but we’re gonna count it anyway because it’s just super fun to look at and remember. Extra points for the rum punch at Guys Driftwood Boat Bar in St. Maarten.
Hard to believe there could be palm trees on a manmade conch shell island off of Union Island in the Grenadines, but as you can see, there certainly are palms on Happy Island!
Lovely palms and boats at Smathers Beach, Key West.
Gorgeous palm sunset on Kauai…
Cool leaning palm at Bolongo Bay, St. Thomas
Amazing palms and scenery of Tobago Cays, The Grenadines
The palms burned (cinematically – thank goodness) on Petit Tabac in the film Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
The perfect twin palms of Maho Bay, St. John
A palm tree shadow at the gorgeous Magens Bay Beach, St. Thomas
View of the palms at Spring Bay, Virgin Gorda from the crystal clear blue water
A palm and a beautiful beach, what more do you need on Prickly Pear Cays, Anguilla?
A palm and a view at Smuggler’s Cove, Tortola
And I guess it wouldn’t hurt to end up with a palm (or two) and a Painkiller (or two) on White Bay, Jost Van Dyke in front of the Soggy Dollar Bar…would it?

Spiced rum. It seems to be just one of those things that either you love, or, you don’t. The subtle varieties of tastes found in different spiced rums are a result of the types and amount of spices added – and there are some spiced rums I’ve tried that have a combinations of spices that just weren’t that pleasing to my palate. I recently ran across directions for making your own spiced rum and initially was interested in finding out what spices are used, but then became intrigued in creating my own variety of spiced rum – a perfect version, of course for my tastes at least! I went shopping today for a few of the following spices and am going to start creating my own version this weekend. Let me know if you come up your own personalized spiced rum and what your secret ingredient is!
