Definitely not my usual type of post, as I have a major aversion to having my picture taken, but I thought I would share one of the images that were taken on one of our formal nights. Image was scanned from a shot that was taken on the ship by one of the cruise line's photographers. Looks like we may have had a bit of sun that day :-)

Have a great Thursday; been in training for the last three days and have to catch up with hundreds of emails tomorrow when I return to the office, so I will try my best to catch up with everyone before the weekend (Thursday night is out because we will be celebrating my birthday- yeah)!!!!

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating;
to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter. . .to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life."
~ John Burroughs

One of Grand Turk's main attractions is diving. There is an outstanding protected coral reef, which drops to 8,000 feet and is close enough to shore for beach dives. This area is known as North Creek, an inland body of water or lake that a growing number of historians argue is the closest fit to the description that Columbus gave for the island that he first encountered on his 1492 voyage to the New World. From this vantage point, visitors can watch the humpback whales pass from Grand Turk's shores as well as from the surface of the water during whalewatching season.

Have a great Friday.....and as always, thanks for your visits :-)
