Best Snorkeling? Jost Van Dyke And Norman Island!
Our last day was spent anchored off of Jost Van Dyke. We spent the morning on a snorkeling tour to Norman Island, a.k.a. Treasure Island. Supposedly the home of buried pirate treasure, it is hands down some of the best snorkeling anywhere in the world. ...click for more.

The British Virgin Islands!
Our last few days were spent in the BVI's. Tortola and its port full of large ships did not hold a lot of appeal for us. We spent that morning on board the ship using the fitness room, which is lovely. It has large windows so you can appreciate your surroundings as well as up-to-date equipment. ...click for more.

Anguilla...
I was very excited that a stop in Anguilla was on our itinerary. Home to three of the finest resorts in the Caribbean, I had imagined it to be a perfect island destination. I was mostly right... ...click for more.

St Martin a.k.a....Spa Day
St Martin or St Marteen if you are on the Dutch side, is one of the least exotic stops on our itinerary. It is a busy hub from which folks often access the smaller more isolated islands in the area. ...click for more.

Ricky and I will soon be empty nesters! What are we going to do?
Add to our “Bucket List” and check destinations off as we go! I was recently browsing a travel magazine and as usual, tabbed a page to mention to Ricky when he came home. We HAVE to do this, it sounds wonderful!! JACKPOT! He brought home the SAME idea! ...click for more.

Ricky's Mediterranean Adventure Part Two
Our first full day aboard the Windsurf was in a word...Fabulous! Our stateroom was larger somehow than any we have experienced on other much larger ships. That said, you really are not drawn to spend much time inside, but instead enjoy the warm Mediterranean breezes outside!...click for more.

Ricky's Mediterranean Adventure: Part 1
Sally and I departed Greensboro at 133pm on a flight to Philadelphia and then on to Rome. We used frequent flier miles to fly envoy class on USAir. This made the trip not just bearable but special. Use the points if you have them, there is no better way to travel transatlantic!...click for more.
