Okay, here goes...I've meant to get a blog going for sometime, but New Years seems to be a good time to launch again.
Just back from an incredible trip to the Southern Caribbean. Dominican Republic, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Antigua, Barbados and St. Kitts. Cruise on the the NCL Dawn. Now, cruising isn't really my favorite mode of travel - the stays at Port are too short and the food on the ship too tempting. But for this trip it was great. Nathaniel and John had the kind of freedom teenage boys crave, Robert and I had our own space and so in that aspect, it was pretty darn carefree. Loved the islands, the people, the beaches, the weather. Hot (80s) and water to match (82) Love that. I am convinced that Caribbean blue only exists there. I'd love to go back and spend a winter re-exploring the places I went plus more. Some day.
New Years Resolutions...lose 20 lbs. (again). Exercise every day for 30 min. Kaiser says I should and I think they're right. Read the Book of Mormon front to back. Hmmm...yep, that's it. I'll be happy with two out of three, but I'm not saying what's most important. You guess...
