White Christmas

It will be a white Christmas here in Ontario, Canada.
It has been snowing everyday since we came back from the sunny Caribbean.
Wishing you all a very, Merry Christmas.

Southern Caribbean Cruise

I just returned from a Carnival Cruise that departed from San Juan. I love to travel which connects perfectly with my love of scrapbooking. We visited St. Thomas (shopping), Dominica (white water river tubing), Barbados (Shipwrech Snorkel & Pirate Party Cruise), Antigua (Beach), St. Lucia (Ziplining in the rain forest) & St. Kitts (island tour). Barbados had the most disappointing port (a shipping yard) and St. Kitts was my favourite island. It was warm & sunny everywhere.
I would not travel Carnival again simply because you could not enjoy the pools with the large numbers of children. Carnival apparently sells off open rooms cheaply to the people at the embarkment port (in this case Puerto Rico). They can then afford to travel with their entire families - not what I imagined a cruise to be.

St. Kitts


The rocks behind me were made when lava from a volcano met the ocean.

St. Thomas

This is me on the ship in the port of St. Thomas. It is mainly known for the shopping.

Ziplining in St. Lucia


Here I am ziplining in the rain forest in St. Lucia. I was scared to death the first time but it was alot of fun. We did 11 ziplines in total.

We survived

Here is me and my hubby after the ziplining adventure. We survived :)


Check out the tree behind us. It is a ficus tree and it was huge.
