Thanks Kathy. I know you are far away from me (are you in Thunder Bay?) I'm in Hamilton, and I hear that it was pretty cold here when we were away. Although I really do enjoy the cold weather, I'm glad I missed it and happy that our pipes didn't freeze!

Outside of taking way too many airplanes,and missing the first day of your cruise, sounds the trip was a blast. Still so very jealous of you Barb (my dream vacation) lol
Nice pictures as well. Ziplining sounds like so much fun, haven't done that since I was a kid, and that was soo long ago.
Sounds like you did an aweseome job with being around all that food, and isn't it nice coming back from vacation without gaining weight....
Glad you had a great time, and hopefully 2018 is very kind to you.

It was a dream vacation of ours too. We are blessed. I imagine that Hawaii is what heaven will look like. It was really beautiful.
