CLARISSA'S CORNER

Magens Bay, St John, USVI

Bon voyage America!

My new home away from home..at leasr for the week!

Beautiful Bayside!

Yes, this is me holding Larry the Alligator. For a small fellow, he was heavy!

Beautiful peacocks at the nature center

The airboat was an exciting, fun...albeit too short trip. I could have spent the day out there! It was cool to see alligators and beautiful birds!

The saw grasses and waterways of the Everglades.

Welcome to the Everglades National Park.

What a great way to end the first day of vacation with a most glorious sunset! Paradise has been found!

Oh my..what a view! Today was the first time I have flown since my photography has become more serious. Wow!

Finally...the long awaited day has come...after months and I do months of preparation, I am embarking on an adventure come morning! Flying to Miami to board the Carnvival Glory...sound cool..oh yes, it does! Traveling to exotic locations in the company of over an hundred United Pentecostal Singles, not only enjoying the sights but making new friends and catching up with old...now this is the best of both worlds.

First a weekend in Miami, including a tour of the Everglades on an airboat (I have always, always wanted to do this!) Then meeting up with friends and roommates, catching up with these ladies could take a while! :)

Then Sunday, all aboard, our ship is ready to sail and what a week it will be!
Monday - Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas
Tuesday - Fun Day at Sea
Wednesday - St. Thomas, USVI
Thursday - San Juan, Puerto Rico ( I am so wanting to get close the El Yungue Rainforest on this daytrip)
Friday - Grand Turk
Saturday - Another Fun Day at Sea
Sunday - Miami, Charlotte, and then Home Sweet Home!!!

Until we meet again, Bon Voyage! And although I may be resting and relaxing, my thoughts and prayers are still with all those who read my blogs!

Joy 2 u!
