Slowly coming back to reality

We are back from vacation and beginning to re-engage with the regular world. The cruise was terrific - the trip home was not. After flight cancellations, delays, and finally a flight to Las Vegas followed by a drive home in a rental car, we made it home two days later than planned. Now I need another vacation to de-stress after that ordeal. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that JetBlue is now on the "won't do that again" list.

But New York was awesome, and we had a lot of fun on the cruise with our friends and at the ports. We took a small boat tour in Bermuda and the kids snorkeled. We zip-lined in Puerto Rico (yay!), shopped in St. Thomas, and splashed in the ocean on Grand Turk. We also experienced quite the rainstorm at sea and watched with a little apprehension as our balcony filled with water. But it never came into the cabin, so everything was ok. The food was, of course, plentiful and very tasty. I'll be paying for that for a while. But it's good to be home.

A very small sampling of pictures we snapped:
