Good morning all. Maybe I can scare up a Jamaica picture if I am at my computer later.

wooohoo!! Thanks, Mags!

I'm in for a sun-soaked sober weekend.

Blast from the past? This will get you out of your deck chair! Love this video. Island beats.

I'm in! I wish I were actually in a sun-soaked, warm locale near the ocean right now. But I'll take an extended virtual vacation with you folks for a fine substitute!

Here's a picture I took standing on the porch of the little cabin on the beach I have stayed in twice now in Belize. I wish I were there right now!

It's such a beautiful place. And relaxing. Lots of fun activities to do if you want to. Not terribly expensive. Easy to get to from the US (although I have run into plenty of folks from all over when I've been there). Really nice people. It's getting more popular as a vacation spot, which is sad, but the place I went to is a small village (Hopkins) that isn't too built up with tourism yet. Which I like. Other parts of the country boast a lively nightlife and lots of bars, which obviously means nothing to me. I want quiet and safety.

Here's the village of Hopkins:

The third picture on the top row is a picture of the cabin I stayed in both times. With the green on the bottom.

Count me in for the Weekender's cruise to the Caribbean.

Your holiday destination in Belize looks stunning Marty.

James Bond has decided to take a leaf out of the Weekenders book and enjoy a spot of sailing in Jamaica.

Great song bim!
Lovely pics MLD

Once had a roommate from Belize. His mom came to stay with us and she would break into my room when I wasn’t there to clean and do my laundry. Then she would demand money for her work. Turned out to be beneficial for both of us. Nice people good food. He used to say the clearest water in the world

Just magnificent MLD. I kept looking....those multi-colour cabins at one of the resorts are to die for.

Thanks, Mags, for the thread and gorgeous pics; thanks Bim for the music (dancing on the deck) and thanks MLD for the Beliz pics. We can enjoy Jamaica this Weekend and Beliz the following. That music gave me an idea. Let’s have a hula hoop contest on the beach! We will show everyone how to party sober.

Let’s sail on!

Thank you for the next leg of our cruise, Mags!

I was unexpectedly called to work today. Going tomorrow too.

I got quite used to self-isolation and soaking in the sun at the deck of Invicta Serenity. So, not happy about this.

On the other hand, it's good that I still have a job amidst these turbulent times.

Mags, love your Thursday posts as always

I love sunsets and sunrises , just gorgeous.

Marty gorgeous pic, thanks for sharing.

I hope everyone is coping with their isolation, it’s getting tedious, but for the greater good. It will be worth it in the end

How is your Asthma Mags and how are your injections going. Do they work.


Stay safe everyone

Xx
