Christmas in Paradise

We booked our trip yesterday and for Christmas we'll be on Vieques Island, seven miles off the coast of Puerto Rico. We're going to miss being with Benjamin's family in Oneonta, who we normally spend Christmas with, but we figure change is good and what better place than on a sunny beach in the Caribbean with cool drinks in our hands and a soft breeze on our backs? Initially, we talked of Paris or a European getaway, but in the end couldn't resist a haitus from the Northeast in December, which if we remember correctly, can be a little frigid. We're staying at the Hix Island House in Vieques and the loft we rented is 1,200 square feet!

Here's some shots of our loft:
