Greetings
from Huahine,
This is a
yet another gorgeous island in the French Polynesians. It is quite amazing how lush and dense the
flora of these islands are. From the
water side coconut palms to the tall, graceful canopy trees that shelter the
jungle floor, the deep greens of the landscape with the occasional outcropping
of dark red cliffs is awe-inspiring.
We did
not get off the ship at Huahine, opting instead for a leisurely day sitting on
our balcony and packing for our travels home.
Originally we had one more tour of snorkeling with the sharks and manta
rays and browsing the coral reefs and mingling with the reef fish, but we had
already named them all and fed most of them.
We have
had such a marvelously relaxing and fun holiday. The food has been the best we have ever
experienced. The people we have met have
been lovely and we hope to keep in touch with many of them. The places we have visited, many of which we
have seen before but many which proved to be exciting new discoveries, have been
a real treat. For me, one of the
constant highlights is that I get to visit this part of God’s creation with my
partner of 51 years and best friend, Vicki.
It would not be the same without her.
So in
sixteen hours we will be back in Texas and home on Possum Kingdom Lake, another
one of our favorite spots in the world.
So until next time, we hope you have all enjoyed traveling along with us
and we send our love to you along with all of God’s Blessings for a Happy 2020!
Jud and
Vicki
