Helensburgh

The trek begins!! Day 1 of 11. The hike across Scotland will cover 130+ miles. Wish us luck!!

London Town

We've had three great days in London with Erich and Ashlee. They left for Ireland today, and we head to Scotland tomorrow. Our last night together we took a sunset boat ride on the Thames. London--what a mix of the very old and the very modern.

Journey's End

November 25

Miami

It's been a great trip, but happy to be back home. Will deliver my collection of baby caps that I knit for the premies--one of which was done by our cabin stewardess with yarn I provided. 

In the U.S.--sort of......

November 21

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Yipes, bought a souvenir ornament and paid 11.5% sales tax. Maybe that's how they plan to solve their financial woes!!

Walked through Old San Juan with its lovely 16th and 17th century Spanish Colonial buildings. We also walked the El Morro national trail, part of the U.S. National Park system.

Virgin Gorda, BVI

Out on a catamaran today to do some snorkeling and cruising the British Virgin Islands. Rick looks just like he belongs. 

Marvelous Martinique

November 19

Fort-de-France

Martinique is part of the Lesser Antilles, and is considered an overseas region of France--a French Department. 

We watched their Chef's Festival at the public market, dancing in the street, and iguanas at the beach. There is a lovely library designed by Eiffel.
