As threatened promised,  photos of our first few days in paradise.

The first of many beautiful sunsets

Sunset (and my nose on the left)


This was taken on my phone, not a particularly good photo, but quite a bit of time was spent doing this.

  1. I'm going to give you two comments.

    Politically Correct comment:
    It looks like you had a great time. The weather looks great, the beaches sandy and it all looks so relaxing. Glad you had a lovely time.

    What most of us are thinking:

    I hate your guts for having just spent a week in an Island Paradise while I went to work ...in the cold...

    You know I'm just kidding right? I really am glad you got to have fun in the sun while I worked...

  5. What a wonderful way to spend a vacation! I hope you were able to relax. I am sure all the alcohol helped you relax! Did you even think about us in the cold and rain? Love you even if you didn't!
