Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

This picture was taken at about 6:30 in the morning in early December during my first winter vacation in many years. The tide had receded and left behind the soft coral sand bereft of any evidence of mankind. The surf lapped against the shore as if it were calling me to leave my foodtprints in the sand to be washed away by the next wave. It was peace and the beauty of nature all wrapped up on one small expanse of beach exemplifying the beauty that is Antigua. I remember thinking how perfect that very moment in time was...anything was possible. I was so comfortable in my own company, alone with my thoughts and knowing that the sun, the sand, the surf and the gentle breeze were a special gift that for that moment was mine and mine alone.
