Eastern Caribbean Tour
What a wonderful way to start 2016. Warm water and lots of sunshine far away from cold and snow. We took our youngest son and his girlfriend along for the cruise and they enjoyed themselves. We stopped at the island of St Maarten, St Kitts, Grand Turk and at San Juan Puerto Rico. Our favorite stop was at the very tiny island of Grand Turk. The swimming was wonderful and I got great pictures while snorkeling. St Kitts has an old narrow gauge railroad that once hauled sugar cane and now hauls tourists. The island is trying to switch from a sugar to a tourist economy.
After our cruise Shelley and I enjoyed a stay at the military hotel, Shades Of Green, at Disney World. This is a fabulous hotel for active duty and retirees. Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood, and Animal Kingdom are great this time of year as it seems to be between major vacation times....just another advantage for the retired folks. The newly added Harry Potter area of Universal Studios is a fun place to visit. The craftsmanship of the buildings alone is worth seeing.
