Sea Days Departing

St Thomas Antigua Barbados Grenada Dominica Tortola Sea Days Returning

Sea Days Returning
Coming home was uneventful.  The kids got their last dips in the pool even as late as our last full sea day- less than 24 hours before returning to New York.  The kids played in the Kids Club while Bruce & I relaxed, shopped, attended lectures and I studied. The water was unbelievably calm- quite a change from the usual weather returning to New York.  It is good to be home though we have amazing memories.


Ben on one of the numerous beds on the front deck-
usually they have soft mattresses but during the recent, though brief rain, the mattresses are covered.



Abby & Ben- the Von Lowder Family Singers
Ben loves that guitar and took it everywhere we'd let him.


More slide, more daring

This is an untouched photo- the Atlantic was that calm our second returning sea day.
You can't even see waves, it was like a bathtub (minus the kids)
