More of the Same

And then it was off to the Island of Antigua for three weeks of sun, sea, sand-in-the-suit . . .
And writing.
What a glorious time! Writing all morning. (A new novel done!)
Playing on the beach all afternoon.
And moonlight evenings with my sweetie.
I highly recommend it!
Writing. What a chore! ;)

Not something you'd see in Canada!

Cathedral Restoration in St. Johns, Antigua

Ditto.

Blue Moon Over Antigua.
And that brings us to home.
So happy we went.
So happy to be back!
I've missed you!

I'm Baaaaack!

Diane's Travelogue . . .
Wow! What an amazing six weeks. But I'm feeling like a new person.
Sadly, I still look like the same person--only some things change! :)
Husby and I left frozen Edmonton on the fourth of January , landing in Barbadoes 12 hours and thirty degrees later!
First stop: Our beautiful high rise hotel, the Accra Beach. On the . . . erm . . . beach.
A free gift from our sailing company.
Island View is not as exotic as Ocean view. Just FYI.
Note: Public transport is comfortable and immensely entertaining. But does not hold to any known schedule. So you know . . .













Then it was time to board the Royal Clipper for two weeks of sun, fun and FOOD!








We saw nine Islands: Grenadines, Grenada, St. Vincent, Martinique, St. Lucia, Guadeloupe, Antigua, St. Kitts and Iles des Saintes and some pretty amazing things!
A real live nutmeg. With it's little scarf of ruby red mace. Fascinating!



Martinique

St. Lucia



Also St. Lucia

Me. Sitting pretty . . . nice.
Stay tuned. The last half appears here tomorrow!
