I do believe I ... http://www.beingbahama.com/2012/01/24/master-tailor/ Back in the day, travel wasn't something you took lightly.  Public transportation was the only option and it wasn't cheap.  You examined your bank account and thought carefully before buying that ticket.  The excitement you felt while waiting to board was often in direct proportion to the cost of the ticket and ... http://www.beingbahama.com/2011/12/12/bahama-wear-is-born/ For all the drama I created over his absence, Bermuda was back within a few weeks and things were back to usual. He was back to adventuring and I was still busy about the task of learning everything I could about my chosen fields. I continued my work toward becoming a master tailor ... http://www.beingbahama.com/2011/08/06/alone-not-so-much/ The best part of visiting Naboo was the chance to see my favorite creature in the whole galaxy.  You could find families of the gentle, adorable gnorts grazing just outside Theed.  It was one factors that eventually led me to build my shop there sometime later. http://www.beingbahama.com/2011/08/05/wild-gnort/ Not long after Bermuda left I was invited to join a guild.  I'd only chatted with the guild leader for a few minutes so I had very little information to base my decision on.

The medical center was there near the gate and provided ... http://www.beingbahama.com/2011/07/24/work/ One of the more odd things about living outside Bestine was the heavy Imperial presence throughout the area.  It wasn't uncommon at all to see troops from the doorstep of our home.   I was quite nervous the first time I was stopped and asked to submit to a scan.  The Captain ran ... http://www.beingbahama.com/2011/07/15/bestines-best/ One of the main reasons we set our home outside Bestine was because Bestine had a tailor trainer.  While I know many who learned the trade from friends and aquantainces in the business, I always sought my training from the professional trainers found throughout the galaxy.  The day I earned ... http://www.beingbahama.com/2011/07/14/novice-tailor/ Not long after we set up our new home, Bermuda greeted me on our doorstep with a 'surprise' to show me. See, he had this love of animals and even took the time and trouble to get them to follow him home.  He always so excited to show me his new ... http://www.beingbahama.com/2011/07/10/house-pets/
