Yeah, I’m supposed to be retired.  And I have to admit that retirement to me was never to be just sitting around watching the coffee grow, but this is ridiculous.  After bouncing around the Americas on cruise ships last fall for four months, I had a month of “vacation.”  And now I’m preparing to head back to PEARL MIST to start a series of cruises to Cuba, “vacation” over, and now back to work.  Now, I really DO need a vacation!

After finishing a wonderful Holiday Cruise on Silversea, Nikki and I visited friends and our kids on the West Coast, which was wonderful!!, got poked and prodded with medical exams in Seattle, and then returned so I could have at least a week at  home in Boquete.

Crazy me, I decided that this would also be a good time to write a book, CUBA: A GUIDE FOR CRUISING AROUND CUBA.  Well, I did and it is on Amazon.  It’s an ideal book for people who are thinking about cruising to Cuba … while you can … or folks who’ve done a Cuba cruise and want to learn more or just jog their memories of all the sights, sounds, and history they experienced.

So it was a hectic “vacation”!  It was good to see family and friends, but great to be back home.  Boquete is as warm and beautiful as ever.
