From Cococay, Bahamas

We survived the great blizzards of 2010, and Nikko turned 18 on March 1. We booked a Caribbean cruise on Atlantis and so this morning we’re anchored off a small private resort island, Coco Cay, in the Bahamas.

We flew to Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday. Our good friend Howard picked us up at the airport and we stayed with him and his doggie Rico Saturday evening at his lovely home. Howard cooked us a really tasty dinner on Saturday evening…one of his great recipes for Tilapia. Howard is a terrific host and a real friend.

Howard drove us to Port Everglades Sunday afternoon where we boarded the Celebrity Solstice, a huge, beautiful new ship that holds 2,800 passengers. We sailed out of Ft. Lauderdale late Sunday afternoon. Today it’s time to jump in the water and spend some time with the colorful, tropical salt water fish. They are nature’s beautiful living works of art.
