My Dream Vacation
That's right- the first words I had seen in English since we arrived. The "Blue Moon" was the first stop we made, right on the Mediterranean Sea, in a little place called Donnalucata, in Southern Sicily. The "Blue Moon" is a gelateria, and was soooooooooooooo good!
So good, that Grandpa and I had to steal a taste out of each others' cones to be satisfied. I'm pretty sure we had a gelato AT LEAST every other day. :)
This is the villa we stayed in, just outside of Donnalucata. This is an outside view of the front door and swimming pool.
Here's a view of the back of the villa, with the laundry room showing. The washers in Italy weren't quite the same luxury that we enjoy in the United States... And, if you had a dryer, you were rich. No dryers for us. :)
And this is a shot of the kitchen. It was funny, but the kitchen was never a big area at any of the places we stayed in. But here we were in our first place and LOVING Italy!!!!
While staying in Donnalucata, we made a day trip out to Agrigento. There we found a huge span of Greek ruins. I never heard the history right away... All the signs were either in Italian, German, or Latin... But there were some amazing sights that we saw.
On the way to Agrigento, we stopped to take a picture of this ancient aquaduct. Pretty cool.

The Crown Princess and Formal Night
Princess Cays

Grand Turk
Chaz and I went snorkelling. I saw a HUGE ray! No one believes me because I was the only one to see it and when I told Chaz to look it was gone. :( But it was there!!St. Thomas
Instruction from our Scuba tour guide
On the way to Buck Island- we got to scuba around some really neat coral reefs and a ship wreck. The world looks so different underwater.Thursday, January 22, 2009
ST. MAARTEN!!




P.S. I DID get a tan that day. :)


I learned that there is a medical school on the island of St. Maarten... For the next couple of hours I tried to convince Chaz to apply there. It was unsuccessful. :(
























Another view.
