Feeling Alive Again...

Been here just over 2 weeks now and feeling like I am almost back to my old self again...Who would've thought that a ship could drain me of all my energy and positive outlook on life?  I had no idea what I was heading into when I left home but it has been an incredible journey and I know I have come away from it with some amazing friends and valuable lessons...

Starting to feel like locals here on the island...Still take each day as it comes with next to no set plans., which is kinda nice.  Going back to normality will definitely be a struggle.  Most of the people who have left the ship have struggled with this and I am guessing I may do so also.  It will be 6 months since I left home soon...

Relaxing in St Maarten...

I arrived safely in St Maarten and enjoying waking up to natural light, no pressure to get to the spa for 12 hours of boredom for no pay, seeing the ocean every morning from my balcony...this list could go on for quite a while...

For those of you who don't know anything about St Maarten, it is a small island in the Caribbean where half of it is governed by the Dutch (where I am) and the other half by the French.  My preference is the Dutch side but have enjoyed my 2 outings across the border.  There is the most amazing French bakery that does the best sandwiches/baguettes...Mmm makes my mouth water just thinking about it...

This afternoon, Jamie and I are heading to the Boardwalk to take in some sunshine and live music later this evening...and I'm sure some dinner as well...

Will check in sometime soon for sure...
