house guests, not to be confused with family or extended family or over-extended family. House guests are those folks, invited or uninvited who take up residence for 3-4 days.
The good ones arrive with goodies from off-island;a clever skill like cooking; new makeup techniques or an independent attitude.always,always welcome.
The bad ones come empty handed; bring friends unannounced; need a safety pin, a tampon,a ride to the furthest end of this island. I don't have safety pins, tampons or an unlimited supply of gas .
The worst ones extend their stay by a week, puke in the bathroom or on the deck, whine about food allergies &/or leave the house a wreck.
People! I welcome you to my innermost but do not provide concierge service, maid service or chauffeur service. If you only want to visit with me in the summer & are not willing to come here in the dark winter months, I realize you are merely looking for a free place to stay in one of the world's best vacation destinations.
