I have been out of the "Loop" for this past week, as my wife and I took a much needed Vacation to the island of Barbados. Many of you know we live in the sticks so getting to the Airport takes some planning. The night before our scheduled 6am flight we stayed in a airport hotel in Boston.

Sun setting on the city of Boston...A picture of things to come.

A November to remember, winging in to a Caribbean island was A nice way to start our first day, 12 degrees above the equator (Hot..Hot...Hot).

The First night at our island home...warm ocean water, moist breezes and something frozen with a touch of rum

The Reef in front of our place was perfect for a little snorkeling (and I'll share some of my underwater pix later).

My wife Vonni and I at one of the Many fine dinning options. I have a deal with my wife not to publish anything about being away in any of my social network platforms. We live in the sticks but no sense in telling the world we will be away from such and such a date...and the house will be vacant for a period of time.

  Excellent trip to the Almond Beach Village in Barbados, nice vacation and I'll share a few more stories after I unpack and answer the 458 emails and 42 voice mails I got while I was away...and promised not to go on line for a week.

More to come stay tune...sorry again to my friends for dropping off the map without a word, but these days there is no other way to get out of town.
