Today we explored on our own. We shopped in Roseau, the capital city, and we went hunting for the two geocaches on the island. (There’s a link in the sidebar on the right to geocaching if you don’t know what that is.) When we found the first geocache, it was at a little restaurant, so [...]

Each day, we think we’ve hit the pinnacle of vacation. And each day, we see something new and different. The whole experience hiking to Boiling Lake was great! I haven’t had a good climb like that since before Talli was born. Beautiful (yet different) rain forest again; we saw a parrot close up, and it [...]

Good exercise today, time to read, beautiful, happy, and great food. The day flew by. Last night was the first night I didn’t sleep like a log. I was awake for quite awhile, but that was ok. Prayed some and just rested. I think my body is finally catching up on sleep.
We set an alarm [...]

Crescent Moon is going to be exotic. We’re the only guests here. Like E said, it’s great being in two so different places. This is rain forest; it dumped on us earlier. We sat on the porch, me swaying in the hammock, and loving it. It’s also really nice being hosted by Americans, just for [...]

Just an outstanding day; this is the vacation of a lifetime!
I got up about 8:30, fully refreshed. We got all ready for the day, expecting the rental car by 9:30 or 10. At 10, I called; “It’s already on the way!” We read and waited, a little tense, but still relaxing. He arrived about 11 [...]

I think I’m more relaxed than I’ve ever been!
In the middle of the night, a pretty fierce storm blew in. The wind blew the rain horizontal-across the porch, through the open window and hitting us on the bed! The sound was quite amazing. E was up till past 2, but I slept well again.
We were [...]

Today has been heavenly. When we arrived last night, I was worried. I wasn’t feeling well-headache, tired-and I was overwhelmed with culture shock. Shopping and eating seemed overwhelming, and it was more third world than we expected. But, after 12 hours (!!) of sleep, things were different.
Woke up around 10ish. Had some food, noticed the [...]

It’s absolutely gorgeous today. It’s a day that simply screams golf or flyfishing, but that’s not in the cards for today.
Sorry for the no blogging action. I’m having a bit of an anxiety crisis about what to blog. I typed out one of my journal entries from my vacation, read it, and thought, “Who [...]

Elaine and I ran out of words. There aren’t enough words to describe how great our experience was in Dominica. Beautiful, fun, restful, special, relaxing and awesome are just scratching the surface.
I’ve tried to think some about how to blog about it, and I’ve decided that I’ll simply type in over the next few [...]
