it’s our first weekend back, so we are planning to have a quiet one. in the meantime i daydream of my vacation destinations for this year, and i am hoping for two on this list – new york times 45 places to go in 2012 – havana in cuba and samana in dominican republic.
by the way, last week i was featured at sunshine girl, so if you haven’t seen it yet go right HERE.
wishing you a happy king’s day and have a great weekend!
the weather is warm and i am loving the looks of the sky!
my cousin marta was in provo for a week, she is all into water sports; sailing, diving, kite surfing is her thing – so i was sure she would fit right in! she stayed for a week and brought our aunt mafalda and her cousin francisca – we had a fab time!
what do you think makes turks and caicos (providenciales) so special?
Its natural beauty is amazing! About the underwater world, I believe i’ll never forget the images i keep dreaming about. Then onshore, at every beach we went, there was always a new detail that took my breath away along with the mixtures of blues and greens of the water. It just feels like getting into the water right away- it’s paradise!
what were your favorite things to do whilst on island?
My number one thing was to go diving. It was my first time with sharks and turtles and it was an amazing experience! The reef walls and all the existing life along with the beautiful underwater gardens are just unforgettable! As a second point, I have to say I loved relaxing on the beach and go for a swim over and over again on those warm waters…
would you recommend to a friend?
I would definitely recommend to a friend specially to a diving fan that wants to relax in paradise! Thank you Joana and James for this amazing and unforgettable week! I had a really good time!!

Hi, my name is Shoko. I write a blog called sho & tell, and I’m very happy to be making an appearance on My Sea Story this week. Thanks so much for having me, Joana!
As I wrote this blog post Saturday night, snow was falling in New York City. A freak October snowstorm, needless to say, is a bit of a peculiar backdrop for writing a post about sun and surf, and it got me thinking – since not all of Joana’s readers are lucky enough to live in the tropics, what are some ways those of us who are in for a long, cold winter can add a little bit of summer to the days ahead?
Hello, I’m Erin from Salvaged Grace and can you believe I’ve never been to the Caribbean? Lucky for me I can live vicariously through Joana’s My Sea Story.
