December 23,2023 Middle Island, NY We left Sarasota on December 14. Before we left, I spent some time on Siesta beach. 🩵 I love it when I spy my blue heron friend. This is Point of Rocks…the actual rocks are beyond the point. Looking north from Point of Rocks. We met up on my way...

First surprise was the Siesta Seafood Festival … I don’t remember it being offered this late in the year....

December 1,2023 Nassau Bahamas I woke as we were sailing into our last port and was rewarded with some lovely views. We were entertained for almost an hour watching families disembark the Disney ship…so many people…so many children.

When we visited Marigot last week, I bought a few things, and once back onboard Serenity, I immediately regretted not purchasing a specific pair of linen pants.

November 26,2023 Bridgetown, Barbados We were up early for a ship sponsored excursion…a two site snorkel and then time on a beach in Carlisle Bay. We boarded the boat from the water…oh my goodness!

November 24,2023 St. Kitts We finally had a chance to get off the big ship and get into a smaller ship to sail and snorkel. In my opinion, it’s the best way to spend the American Holiday known as Black Friday. It’s been more than twenty years since I’ve been inside a mall (or any...
