PARADISE ADVENTURE

We spent the last week in one of the most beautiful locations in the worldWe took a cruise to the southern Caribbean with Jason and LeAnne and Karli and Chris.  We flew to Puerto Rico and sailed south from there.   Our first stop was St Thomas where interestingly enough many of the local shop owners were Indians from Mumbai.  So dad and I had a great time chatting and coincidentally that night was formal night on the ship and I wore my Indian attire and therefore we met several waiters from India.  Small world!
 
 Our next stop was Tortolla followed by Antigua where we found incredibly beautiful beaches and sparkling warm ocean waves.  We did some snorkeling and had to drag each other back to the ship to leave the amazing beauty and perfect weather.
 


We saw this couple on the beach taking their wedding picturesQuite the beautiful scene huh?

Then we sailed on to St. Lucia and then Barbados.   Again, too beautiful to adequately describe.  We hiked in the rainforest in St. Lucia and appropriately got DRENCHED.  But how fitting !!!





I do think we clean up quite nicely!

In Barbados we took a large catamaran to the back side of the island for another amazing day of fun in the sun, ship-wreck snorkeling and swimming.  Couldn't have been a more appropriate last day in port.


It was really a perfect cruise with 6 port days and 1 day at sea.  The ship was magnificent with lots to do for everyone.
