Here's where it all started, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The view from our room and very excited to get this long awaited week underway. Truely a time to relax with no cellphones or call outs!!













60th birthday on Aruba....I recommend it to everyone! What beautiful, clear water. The snorkeling was as good or better than St. John!! The people were great and very friendly. Can't wait to go back there soon! Water temperature is 84 degrees....my kind of snorkeling water!!
















Bonaire was beautiful, started out bad with some rain but turned out to be a good day. The snorkeling was awesome in crystal clear water!











Greneda we were rained (poured) out all day, tours were cancelled. The island smells so beautiful with all the spices they grow (cocoa, nutmeg, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, curry) again another rainforest island. We stayed on the ship and vegged most of the day and took pictures of the big ship parked next to us!!








Dominica was a beautiful, lush, rainforest. 380 inches of rain a year!! Yes, we did the river tubing and had a great time, just no control. Sure wanted my pontoon to shoot the rapids. We went all the way down 2000 feet to the ocean....it was awesome!











St Thomas, beautiful as always! Snorkeled in Turtle Cove and Al J saw a "herd" of about 7 in a group! It was great to visit one of our favorite islands, but that meant our week was over and we were headed back home :(







































Colorado was great! What fun to see Brandon & Rochelle and to see how big Xander has gotten!! He's almost up and around walking hopefully by Christmas. We had such a good time playing and visiting. Counting the days when they are "Home for Christmas"!!
