I needed a break, a real break. This is the first vacation in years where I am going on a cruise to just sit back and relax. And it worked, that’s what I did...sort of. I still worked out most days, danced until 3am some nights, went kayaking in St Thomas, sailing and snorkeling in Barbados, zip-lining in St. Lucia, raised the sails again in St. Kitts and hiked the only rainforest in the US in Puerto Rico.
I also sent myself on a photography mission. the subject this time...Butterflies in St. Thomas and in St. Maarten. It turned out so well that I have since visited the Butterfly Exhibit at the Smithsonian and will soon visit the Butterfly Garden at Brookside Gardens. Those pictures will be on another page.
