Whew!

You need a vacation after a vacation!
I know this to be true. We've just returned from a jolly jaunt around the Pirate's Islands aboard the dirty big 'Adventure of the Seas'! Also on the card was a 2 then 3 days stay in Old San Juan. In the space of a few hours I had gone from Quebec City to Montreal, then St. John's and home scarcely long enough to pitch! When off the next morning to Taranna and on to Puerto Rico. I was in cultural chaos!
Luckily I am a quick relaxer. We walked around the town and took in the sights and sounds then stopped at an outdoor alleyway that live music was hammering out of...and this joint had codfish on the menu! Heaven! oh, and a Margaritta por favour!

We had a couple of days lazing around in OSJ then set sail for Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Maarten's. The pic above is the view from the bistro set on the cabin balcony. And best of all, imagine this...warm!
After the cruise it was back to the Old city for a few days to 'decompress'. This is a practice I highly recommend if you can swing it, relaxation after a vacation is a must, and a lot of fun! Then it was back to Outer Cove and home...for a few days then I shipped out to Quebec once more. 
Which is where I remain at the time of this writing...and already thinking about how badly I need a vacation! (oh yeah, Christmas is coming)!
​Yikes.
