We are home in Perrysburg again after a long day of travel but what a vacation it was. I will be blogging about it for several days since I was not able to upload pictures while I was gone. Being away was a Godsend to both Steve and I mentally. The previous two months have been more of a strain than you realize until you are away from it. The stack of mail at home still contains sympathy cards from people that have just learned of John's death and more memorial donations. Being away we were able to relax and have fun and we shared lots of happy stories about John while brother John and Terry were with us. The villa was better than great, the diving was good, the weather was consistantly beautiful and the travel went well. All of the flights were on time other than one mechanical problem on the return flight from San Juan, which delayed the last leg of the homebound journey by 2 hours.
And now since the grass at home is 6 inches high and the suitcases need unpacking I will just post some pictures of the villa views and you will be able to see why we had such a relaxing vacation and love Tortola so much.

Welcome back to the states...That looks too gorgeous. Are we going to consider that as a destination? Count me in.
It is wonderful that you and Steve were able to relax and decompress with "safe" family members who only have your absolute best at heart. There are many of us out here who care so much and we are all so glad the healing has begun. There are so many good and funny and happy stories about a wonderful young man who touched so many lives in ways, some that will remain forever unknown. I am hoping you feel a sense of peace and happiness. Love be with you
Welcome home sweet friend!Your trip sounds like it was just what you both needed. I agree with Kim -could it handle "The Guys 60th" - it looks hard to beat! I will be living vicariously through your pictures for awhile!!!
I think about you everyday and have missed connecting with you, but I am soooo glad you were able to get away for a true vacation.
Feel my love coming your way!
Glad to hear that you and Steve had a wonderful relaxing break. You both needed it.
Are we still on for lunch on Fri May 9th?
The picutes look amazing, but I have to ask - what's on your shoulder in the last picture?
