May 28, 2011 Tonight is the last night of our holiday abroad. I really don't want to go home. I know we have to work hard to play hard, but work just sucks. Today we were in one of our very favorite places, St. Maarten. We love it. The people are helpful but not pushy, …

The Last Day of My 30s
Today is the last day of my 30s. In less than 12 hours I will be 40. That sounds really old. I am in St. Thomas today, in the Caribbean. I simply cannot think of anywhere else I'd rather be today, on the last of my 30s. An island, in the tropics, having a nice …
Setting Sail from San Juan
It's my most favorite part of the day - setting sail. Today, we're setting sail for Barbados, where we'll be in two days. It will be cool, since we've never been there before. The ship's horn is sounding, to let all the people know that we're about to push out and pull away. I always …
So I’m 40
Tuesday, May 24 10pm EST, somewhere in the Caribbean Sea It doesn't really feel any different than 39.9999. It just means that I have to check another box on those "age range" things. You know, it used to be 30-34, 35-39, but now it's 40-44 or whatever. A bit strange, but what can you do …

St. Lucia
Thursday, May 26, 2011 5:35pm, just off the coast of St. Lucia Today, we were in the tropical paradise of St. Lucia. It was beautiful. We are just now pulling out of port and sailing away. It is a very mountainous place, just sticking up in the middle of the ocean like so many islands. …
St. Kitts
May 27, 2011 Well today we had our adventure in St. Kitts. It was a beautiful little island, and it was hot. We went shopping for a bit and then went on an excursion to the rainforest and beach. The downtown area of Basseterre is an old island town. They have a roundabout in the …
The House Where I Grew Up in LR
Today, I went swimming again. Did my 25 laps and then hung out for about 15 minutes just relaxing in the water. The earlier rain had caused the temperatures to drop a bit, down to about 85 degrees or so. On top of the hill, though, it was more like 80ish. The water felt great, …
Relaxing By The Pool
Today, I am relaxing by the pool. It's not my pool. It's my uncle's pool. He moved from this house about a year ago, but he still hasn't sold it, for some reason, so my sister and I are taking full advantage of the pool this summer season. The pool is a bit different from …
