Last week, from March 31st to April 9th, I was on a tour/cruise to the Southern Caribbean!  I went with "Fun For Less Tours", in a group of 12 LDS widows -- It was so fun and I learned so much!  I want to tell about that in this blog, and maybe one more.  There is so much to tell!  Michael Wilcox, (retired BYU professor) was the guest tour guide.  He gave 4 lectures, specifically about the different islands we visited, and their history.  It was fascinating!  I'll try to include some of his thoughts, as they made the cruise so much more interesting. Our ship from the Royal Caribbean, "Jewel of the Seas." On Saturday March 31st, 2018, we flew from Salt Lake City to Atlanta, Georgia, and then to San Juan, Puerto Rico.  The next day we entered the ship around 11 a.m.  It was interesting getting used to the ship, and getting acquainted with the other 11 ladies.  I went with my dear friend from High School, Belva Hunting Gardner.  She is 1 week younger tha
