This is really the first!

Well, here I go. I just got out of school and the worst part about it was the writing and now I am about to start a blog. Guess what? blogging is writing. The part about writing that I hated the most was trying to put on paper the words in the right way to let the teacher or whoever know what I learned and what I felt.
My oldest daughter Tabitha has a blog and she felt that after reading my travel journal that maybe I could blog about my travels. She helped me write in school, proofreading and such and, ssshhhh she even took a class for me. gotta love online school. Another good thing about online school is that you can take it with you when you travel. I have taken school to Rome on a cruise , out on the lake and traveling cross country in the trailer.
We started our traveling approx. 15 years ago when I was in the nursing program. Our first trip was to a Caribbean island called st. Martin/St Marten. It was half french and half dutch. I can still remember the line drawn in the road that separated the two. I instantly fell in love with the warm Caribbean ocean and the very colorful fish that can be found while snorkeling. We haven't been to a Caribbean island now in about 5 years. :( We used to go every winter. And even tho i have been to some very interesting and exciting places. (I am very lucky) that I think that warm Island vacations will always be the best.
So here it is, officially my first blogging post. Be warned when I get going I tend to ramble on!
