Bahamas-Where The Waves Are

Image
Everything that happens once will never happen again; but everything that happens twice, will surely happen again...and again...and again. 4 weeks at sea. Another day in..well...paradise. Greetings from the user-friendly universe of another Caribbean island. Shoveling sunshine instead of snow. There are still the occasional rain showers. Overall, the climate is agreeable.

Decade-St Thomas USVI

New Year and a day in The US Virgin Islands. After   a mile walk around the deck we witnessed the sun rising against the Caribbean blue ocean. Spectacular. As we bring in the new day, still thinking about the souvenirs from YESterday. Last night we celebrated onboard the Disney Fantasy. When it comes to Disney royalty, you can’t get much cooler than Elsa and Anna. We started the evening with the movie Frozen 2 and its takeaway of ..when under pressure, do the next best thing, was noteworthy. Later... We all had our own fireworks display to bring in the New Year, Setting things on fire on a ship? Yep... Wow. Shooting fireworks from a cruiseship. Who does it? Disney of course.. Truly rocket science with these controlled explosions.- safety is of the utmost, wind direction and execution. Well done Entertainment Department! Deck 11 is the heart of the ship and the life of the party!

What a year- last day spent on Tortola after a morning sail. Mother Nature and Father Time. These island paradises are their offspring. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ed Reif (@edreif) on Dec 31, 2019 at 8:36am PST

🌴On Land it's South Africa and America. Our stopovers are on Disney’s Private Island – 1000 acres of reimagined paradise in the Bahamas. This stunning 1,000-acre escape in the Bahamas is a must-visit Disney Cruise Line destination. If you've ever wondered, "When is the remake better than the original?"—this place is the answer. Tap above and below to watch the videos! It’s not about staged authenticity like Papette, Tahiti or Aloha Fridays in Hawaii. This is the best of the best—an I for an Island. It wasn't always so wholesome though. Once used as a stop for smugglers—think “Snow White” or “White Snow.” There’s an airstrip on the island, but it’s no longer in regular use. Its unique isolation has become its own kind of paradise. This isn’t Gilligan’s Island, but it has also been used in Hollywood filming— Splash with Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah was shot right here on the beach. ...

I feel like I stepped into a time.machine... Sarah as navigator, my magnetic North and compass The Eastern and Western Carribean routes. The one thing I enjoy in these parts was/is drinking fresh coconut water. Now it is on the shelves of all the supermercados., but back in 2009, it was old school split-it-open with a machete and serve. Old San Juan a decade ago on MSC Next week we will be sailing to Grand Cayman Island......where there is An Embarrassment Of Coconuts Coo coo for coconuts Coco Vita is tired, Caymania au natural is wired. Loved by health nuts and Hollywood royalty, coconut water is the "new" health drink. It's almost as good as a blood transfusion, It slows down ageing, smooths your skin; regulates blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol; and it's good for digestive health. Every port of call, I make a habit of drinking some. Today, I bought a whole quart. Coconut water is the purest liquid on earth, seco...

View this post on Instagram I am Alan Watts and so can you. "I wonder I wonder if you had the power to dream any dream that you wanted to dream. You would I suppose start out by fulfilling all your wishes- love affairs, banquets, wonderful journeys, music beyond belief...and after you've done that for sometime, you'd forget that you were dreaming.". A post shared by Ed Reif (@edreif) on Dec 21, 2019 at 5:37am PST There is no YES in Yesterday and the longest day of The Weak is Someday. The secret of living your dream instead of your backup plan is-Starting! I Have Had All The Disadvantages Required For a Successful  start on the Hero's Journey, no money, no time, no opportunities. ONLY Acting AS IF.. DESERVING enormous outcomes is mostly the result of a series of small steps that magically make the invisible visable- that's the science of achievement.  Mine was " I want to travel around ...
