A year already?

Well its been almost a year since my last update, and I have sorely neglected my duties here! What have I been up to? Well lets see.

The aforementioned cruise was great. Trunk bay in St John is amazing. My jaw still drops when I look at the picture which is now my desktop wallpaper. St Maarten was great too, but Tortola was meh, not as nice a beach. We went snorkeling on St Maarten and I got stung by a sea urchin. It hurt. A lot. Still a great trip. I've been snorkeling about 30 times so it was bound to happen eventually I guess. Got me right on the back of my leg as I floated backwards adjusting my mask. Here's a little factoid for ya: the emergency treatment for a sea urchin sting is vinegar. Blech. I smelled like a salad. Many thanks to the good people at "Rhino Riders" that came prepared! "Rhinos" were the name of their boats.

Christmas holiday was very nice. Spent it at my brother's new house, congrats bro! Welcome back to the Northeast! Its not as sunny or warm as San Diego, but we don't have earthquakes, wildfires or mudslides either! Was sick for most of the holiday though, couldn't shake a nasty cold.

Last visit to said brother in San Diego as they prepare final arrangements to move back. Also spent a few days in Vegas. Good times.

Me and the Mrs. got a share on Fire Island (about 60 min from NYC). Cant wait for the beach! First weekend is in about 2 weeks!
