Last Thursday, I started a new Friday blog series. Yes, that made total sense. You will understand by reading: I’d Rather Be...
So…yeah, I’m living it up. Wanna come? Check it:

| I’m boarding this ship, but I have some hesitations. One being what if the power went out from an engine fire and the toilets stopped working, then we all had to do our business in red biohazard bags! And we got stuck eating wilting vegetables. It happens. I’ve been researching for my newest novel, a first in a proposed series set on a cruise ship. Yeah, I’m bringing the Love Boat back, J Patch style. Note: This (or the Love Boat) was not the ship it happened on, so… All Aboard! |
 |
| And here is our first port of call! You really want to be here don’t you? Let’s drop our bags and do a little shopping in the public markets. Yum! Nothing like fresh island fruit. We must take a trip down Fig Tree Drive, experiencing the sugar mills, and lovely churches. After all, how can you not give God glory for this amazing display of beauty! Oh by the way, the word fig here, means banana! So you won’t actually spot any. |

| This is just one of 365 beaches on this caribbean island. I guess you’ve come to the same conclusion as I have. A beach for every day, baby! White sands. The taste of sea air and… |
 |
| These delicious bad boys. Who doesn’t love coconut? Okay, whatever your poison, it’s yours. What book are you reading? I have my Kindle so I have hundreds to choose from. But I’m going to need some romance to go with the steel drums and bongos. Yes? Let’s have one more drink, shall we? |
 |
| We can visit Bird Island. For some reason it makes me think of Cliffors the Big Red dog. Birdwell Island. But I don’t think we’ll see any red dogs. Not here anyway. What we will see is fine feathered friends, which I happen to be terrified of! Birds freak me out! Bring umbrellas, not for rain… but you know, bird crap! Because if you’re standing near me, prepare to run and be pooped on. By the birds. |
 |
| Okay, we are so not getting in this kayak. It’s going to stay ashore. Why? Because one, I don’t swim well and I saw that YouTube of the shark knocking over a kayak or at least working to. Teasing the poor guy who’d cut his finger fishing. Who fishes in a kayak alone in the middle of the ocean anyway? But, if we want to get adventerous, we can swim with the Stingrays and experience some gorgeous coral reef at Stingray City. They say it’s safe with knowledgable trainers. Who knows? The ship wasn’t supposed to catch on fire either But here we are peeing in plastic bags awaiting a park full of birds anxious to poo on our heads. But overall, don’t you want to come? Have you figured out where I am? |

How fun! I'm guessing Bermuda? And I wouldn't want to sail anywhere on a cruise ship…but if I could handle the angst, I'd sail to Norway/Iceland/Greenland/Newfoundland/any place with Viking museums. Grin.
Antigua??:) Though I'm not too interested in the bird poop, I will take 365 beaches and non-stop sun! BEAUTIFUL pictures of wherever you are!
Virgin Islands? We've cruised the Carribean and I'd love to return to St. Thomas! Sandy white beaches, cloudless, blue sky, and fruity cold drinks all while basking in God's glory! Ahhh!
And I adored Love Boat! (I can still sing the theme song!)
I'm loving the sound of your new book! 🙂
I'm going to say Greece just because I want it to be Greece even though I'm not sure those photos actually look like Greece. I almost went to Greece once…for spring break of my study abroad semester. But the travel agent assured us it'd be way too chilly to go that time of year…so we went to Spain and Scotland instead. I LOVED those two places…so much I just want to ramble on forever about those two weeks…but still, there's a tiny piece of me that regrets missing Greece. Someday…
AHHH I just want to travel everywhere all the time!! 🙂
Oooh, I want to come aboard! I'm guessing Jamaica. Never been there, but I hear it's beautiful!
I'm reading a bunch of books right now, but the next romance I'm diving into will be Stephanie Laurens' The Taming of Ryder Cavanaugh. Oh yeah!
Hmm…when I was a teenager, I used to pray that God would send me to the Caribbean as a missionary. (Yes, I am aware that I'm probably not the only one who ever prayed that!) I would love to visit there. My guess is: The Grand Caymans.
