Some would consider a bed of flowers in spring paradise.
Some would consider a pile of freshly fallen leaves to jump in paradise.
For my husband and me a warm white sandy island beach with clean tropical waters and palm trees is paradise. And, we were fortunate to enjoy a bit of paradise over the past few days.
We had the privilege of visiting St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Puerto Rico, and Haiti during an 8 day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas. The weather was sunny and warm, the waters clear and warm, and the sky clear and blue.
Our waiter and assistant waiter were very pleasant and fed us well. We enjoyed the conversation of our table mates, and spent much time relaxing and soaking up the warmth. The Royal Caribbean singers and dancers as well as the musicians were very talented, and there were many venues on the ship to partake in a variety of activities.
It was probably one of our best vacations, and a ship we would be happy to sail upon again. While it is always good to come home and get back to what is familiar and routine this was a cruise we didn't want to see end. We'll have to sustain ourselves by starting to plan our next one, whenever that may be.
If you haven't ever gone on a cruise we highly recommend it. It is a fun way to travel! You get to keep your belongings in one place as you visit a variety of ports of call. Each one offering a variety of ways to explore.
Please enjoy a few of our photos of these beautiful islands...Ahhh, paradise, wouldn't you agree?
