If you follow me on social media, you know that this past May I vacationed on the Carnival Splendor cruise ship and traveled to Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and Grand Turk. What a great way to kick off Summer 2014! I have been on several vacations in my lifetime, but I have never been to a tropical area. I, kid you not, I fell in love. The Caribbean is so beautiful. There is a spell of relaxation running through the air on the islands. Ever since I came back, I have been secretly planning a trip back to the tropics. After taking a lunge in Dante's burning inferno this past school year, I desperately needed this vacation. For the first time in a long time, I could just relax and clear out all the stress and tension within me. I knew I had a lot of work to do when I got back, but for those eight days, I escaped into my nirvana.
