CRUISIN'

The cruise was awesome, of course! Ak's mom and friends were like "Seniors Gone Wild". Ak and I often felt like the parents with this gang. We went to Grand Turk, Tortola, St. Barth, St. John, St. Maarten and St. Thomas....the weather was perfect the entire trip, and we both managed to gain a few pounds. Chuck-you'll be pleased to know that there were no Norwalk breakouts; however, the 2 other ships that were in port with us in St. Maaren both got quarantined in Miami a few days before we got back.

I can't believe Christmas is around the corner!!! Ak's mom is coming up here, and we're doing a nice Xmas Eve dinner together with my mama, then we are all jetting to New York on Christmas Day to go to radio City, and hopefully to see Wicked the following day. **If anyone has any NY theater connectins, please let me know!)

Here are a few pictures from our trip:

St. Maarten /gorgeous beach view from the cafe



St. Barth / our personal favorite - check out the plane in the middle of the picture - their airport is in the middle of the mountains - watching the take offs and landings was very cool.
