Paradise Bound

We started 2008 off the right way with an amazing cruise to the Eastern Caribbean with my family to celebrate Elaine and Jay's birthdays. We spent a fun week with Cherie and Dale, Brian and Linda, Daren and Joy, Dani and Pete, and Lisa and James. Our ports o'calls were Half Moon Cay, a private island in the Bahammas, St. Thomas, St. Johns, San Juan , Puerto Rico and on the way back to Nasaau, Bahamma. This was our first cruise and we decided a mid-winter cruise is definitely the way to go!

Just another day in paradise

Tom and I just recently returned from Kauai where Tom had a convention at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa. We spent a fun week doing everything from meetings, playing in the pool, walks on the beach, and a "kick ass extreme adventure" on zodiac rafts on the NaPali coast, where we saw whales, sea turtles, and gorgeous scenery!
