take a tropical vacation

Life in the cold, dark, frosty Midwest can be tough—especially if you live for the rich green spring and summer.

This march I went to the Virgin Islands and stayed on St. John, the island that is mostly protected national park.
Beauteous. I love my deep blue Great Lakes, but the truly turquoise and azure water inthe Caribbean is so good at melting the winter’s snow and ice out of your soul.

I even snorkeled—a very brave act for a water wuss!

Umm… hehe… I just booked another tropical vacation for December because I just can’t wait all the way until February for my cruise. So, the weekend after I get back from Rome I will be on my way to Jamaica.

It makes sense if you think about it… Rome will be such a tiring trip, I’ll need a few days on the beach to relax and recover… seriously! Also, could I honestly pass on $118 r/t airfare to Jamaica? I don’t think so.

I did it… I just booked a cruise to Cozumel and Grand Cayman in February, when the weather is going to be ass in Chicago.

The best vacation I’ve ever had. Damn its in Mexico! Can I go back, again??
