Reflections from our Journey

As I start to reflect on our journey I realize we have sailed to 18 countries/territories with 3 primary languages being spoken, French, Spanish and English. By the time we return to St. Pete we will have sailed over 4,000 miles. I think if we had realized how far we were going we might have gotten overwhelmed, but one day at a time, one island at a time anything is possible. I am sure it will take years to process the trip as a whole.

My friend Margaret sent me this quote “the real voyage of discovery consists not of seeing new landscapes, but of seeing with new eyes." I hope that when we return to Memphis we will continue to look at life with a fresh perspective and keep much of what these two years has taught us.

I am sure that when we leave Crossroads on Tuesday, I will cry like a baby. Crossroads has been a wonderful home for us for the past 2 years.

Crossroads has taken us safely to far shores and given us a lifetime of memories.
Crispy Cracked Conch in the Bahamas
Climbing waterfalls in the Dominican Republic
Carnival in St. Maarten
Exploring lush Jungles in Dominica
French wine and cheeses on Martinique
The wonderful people and nutmeg ice cream in Grenada
Watching a massive leatherback turtle lay her eggs at night on a beach in Trinidad.
