Sometimes you just have to run away to the Caribbean and unplug from the world. That is exactly what I did. I floated around on a ship with my 2,999 shipmates.
Spent several days at sea – wonderful except for the throat infection days where I saw the ship’s doctor and slept. Did yacht racing in St. Maarten, took a tour of St. John, USVI and stayed on the boat for Nassau as I didn’t feel like snorkeling. Loved having someone to cook and clean after me. Could live there for that. When I was feeling better I started writing again but the cruise was almost over by then. **SIGH**
Unfortunately, I had to return to reality and the world here didn’t stop. So I’ve got a To-Do book instead of list. Oh, and I still feel like I am on ship – land sickness. I didn’t get sea sickness but I’ve got land sickness – prime demographic for it middle aged woman on sea over seven days. Good news – it goes away over time. Bad news – no treatment and can last months. Good news – not sick feeling just slight almost pleasant rocking feeling. Bad news – there are multiple documented cases of prime demographic that lasted years.
Stay tuned more photo posts to come. I’ve got three cameras of stuff to download and process.
Until next time!
