[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false] We just arrived home from an incredible week spent in Haiti, the Mexican Riviera and the middle of the ocean. As I stepped off the plane at Logan wearing flip flops and smelling faintly of coconut flavored sun block, I caught the temperature on one of the television screens: 24 degrees Fahrenheit. Oh, my.
I am now snuggled up on the couch with a giant blanket and am seriously contemplating a second cup of hot chocolate and hoping tonight’s House Hunters International features condos on the Equator. With over 440 photographs to sift through (and 900 work emails to avoid), I figured I’d share a few of my favorite shots. Hopefully these Caribbean vistas will up the temperature in Boston a degree or twelve.
A more lively urchin attacked my foot just moments later.
This would be a lovely view were it not for my busted up runner's feet.
I swear this is a real photograph and not a Windows screensaver. I endured much judgement from the locals (a wild pack of roaming dogs) as I crouched down to get the perfect angle.
Mother Nature's slingshot.
I imagined myself looking impossibly chic during our visit to the Mayan walled city. Instead, I am wearing a rain poncho and my face is obscured by a giant blob of rain on the camera lens.
I hated to leave Haiti.
I am looking forward to telling you all about our adventures on an uninhabited island off the coast of Haiti (it was straight out of LOST, complete with some sort of blast hole in the middle of the island), the breathtaking Mayan ruins at Tulum, sippin’ time aboard an elevator bar, a stingray sighting along the Mexican shoreline, my new luchador mask… and more, including a giveaway from Weleda I like to think of as a vacation in a bottle.
Also On Tap for Today:
- A special thanks to Colleen, Michelle and Dez for their fabulous guest posts while I was away!
- I was full body scanned… and it was weird.
- Is it too soon for a staycation?
Where to do you go to get away?

To get away? I like to go north. Weird, right? Maine or the White Mountains for me, especially if there’s snow.

When I have a chance to get away, somewhere very warm in the middle of February is the best!
Love the pictures! Looking forward to seeing more and the giveaway! ; )

Just stopping by to say hi and Happy ICLW. I went to school near Boston and lived there for a few years but my husband and I are now further south. I love and miss the city, but not the weater; stay warm!

Gorgeous shots. I’m recently back from 16 days in Japan and I am overflowing contentment. Yay vacations!
