Under the Sea

Another amazing trip was my time in the British Virgin Islands. This extravagant place is teeming with sea life and incredible sunsets. On the first day coming into our first cay to pick up food we had several dolphins swimming along side the boat and put on a whole show of flips and twists for us to watch giving us a good feeling to ope up with such a show at the beginning of the trip. Later on we stopped at a place called the boulders where not only did we swim and snorkel to see different colored fish but at the end of the day just before dinner we had the most captivating sunset just off the edge of the cay. We sat and watched the huge ball of colors gently fade into the water and distant islands below. Later that trip we went to a very special cay called compass cay where you could swim and pet the tame sharks that roamed around the dock. This famous attraction of the BVI was one of my favorite stops while all the girls on the dock were frightened and screaming the rest of the boys were in the water swimming and petting the almost 8 foot sharks. By then end of the trip we were so wasted form non stop swimming and playing we were so ready to be home. By the time we were home the great part was that we felt sick for the BVI already

Over the Mountain

Super white snow, golden mountains at sunset and fun with skiing, all the best in Crested Butte, Colorado. This experience was one much different to going to Europe or the Caribbean, this remote ski resort and small town just south of the mountain has friendly and a quaint atmosphere but lots of fun. The ski difficulty around the mountain varies from beginner kids to the extreme snowboarders, even on the same route! The first picture to the left is that of the Crested Butte mountain at noon with the evening sun just encompassing the top of the mountain. In the picture below is me just at the end of the first run watching the rest of my friends come speeding down the mountain with me. At the end of each run is the opening to the main camp which allow you to have that "ski in ski out" experience. Everyday we would get up to hit the slopes around 8 a. m. and finish with hot chocolate or cold drinks at 6 p.m. on the patio area outside the bar to watch the sunset over the mountain. 

Exumas

This last weekend I took a trip to the Bahamas going to Nassau to see Atlantis and around the Exuma Islands for the beautiful beaches and crystal water. I took the trip on a 58ft Catamaran called Blue Horizon(above in Wadrick Wells with the boat in the bay). I am a traveler and this is my favorite place in the world because no water in the world looks like that in the Bahamas. When off I was always busy, either cleaning the boat;  exploring islands on the dingy or snorkeling with the mass abundance of wildlife. The sea park reserved a snorkeling area called the Aquarium because of all the rare and beautiful fish that lived there it was like swimming in an aquarium. At Atlantis I was able to go on the Leap of Faith and mile long Lazy River along with the experience of the small town area, just outside the hotel, with neon green and pink houses and old quaint restaurants. At the end of the trip we were able to fly over all the islands and get amazing photos from the plane on some of the islands(above). This incredible trip was one not to forget.
