The start of the 2017-2018 school year didn’t go quite as planned. I mean, how many people in this world can say they spent the first day of school boarding up their windows in preparation of a hurricane. However, hurricanes and the aftermath aside, I was determined to experience more of the Caribbean Islands before leaving St. Thomas. And there was really only one way I could think to visit as many as possible. That is how my decision to take a cruise for spring break came about.
I went to facebook to see if I could find a friend or two to join me on my Royal Caribbean Cruise is April. The St. Thomas school district takes their spring break much, much later than the schools on mainland US. But, I was hopefully I’d be able to find a friend. After several Facebook posts, I finally had a friend respond.
This particular friend is my world traveler, Darren, who has been to over 100 countries. We met in Mexico in 2014 on a Contiki Tour and he visited me in St. Thomas in 2016. Now, it’s 2018 and we’re about to take off on a 6 island Caribbean cruise!
