Cruisin with Gma Hinko



Grandma Hinko loves cruising!  She has gone with Leslie, our couisn Beth and had planned to go with Alyson to Alaska in July but sadly ended up in the hospital instead.  When she decided to reschedule for the fall she invited me and I was absolutely thrilled to be able to join them. 


I just love this picture of Gma looking out from the ship's deck, so beautiful!



It was so special to get to be with Grandma!!!  We had matching shirts and then we found some pretty cool charms so we could have special jewellery.



The hurricanes this fall left the islands we visited greatly devastated. It was heartbreaking but also good to be there as tourism is the economic staple in many Caribbean islands.   In St.Thomas half of the island was still without power and so much of the island was badly damaged. Graham and I had been there a few times and had swam at Megan's Bay but seeing the damage, how the trees were just wiped away, gosh it was so sad.




Getting to see Grandma smile and laugh and enjoy the cruise, such a special trip.
