Wednesday, or so I think it is....

I really never imagined that doing nothing could get so exausting! I woke up early today and did the usual and then I took a walk through the gardens (with company of course).



















Then for some crazy reason I got so sleepy then I had to go in and take a nap?!? I woke up in time to go upstairs to teach another ballet class.
















I just can't say enough about how much I enjoyed teaching these kids! They work so hard and are so eager to please. Again thanks to Karina and all the parents of these kids for the honor of working with your children!





After teaching Karina and I chilled the TCI way and then Barbara and I chilled up in her room waiting for Melinda's plane. Around eight we went to pick her up at the airport. She was glad to finally have her long travel day over. We went back to Barbara's for dinner and chatting. I even had the honor of being able to cook part of the dinner that chef prepared. I was told not to screw it up! We had a great meal and then all headed for bed.

Another day in paradise....

Tuesday we did something a little different. Karina wanted me to see the "nice beach" I was a bit skeptical since I wasn't sure how anyone could say that there was a better beach. I was already in heaven how can you perfect that? I was told the water was even prettier and the sand was softer! Kind of hard to imagine that since I live near Ocean City New Jersey????!!!!
We invited Fiona to come along ( another Stargazer house guest). We went to Ocean Club Resorts at Grace Bay Beach. We had breakfast outside on the beach. Okay I have to say that the water was actually more beautiful. How can ocean water be that clear and so colorful?



Well we had a great breakfast and of course we had mimosas... We then went for a swim and then sat on the beach chatting and of course catching some rays...


I have to admit that I was eavesdropping on the family that was sitting next to us on the beach. They were Italian and I was trying to understand what the were talking about. That was fun (hehe).

We then had to head back to the house so Barb could get to a meeting for TCFAF and I of course went to the pool!

Later that evening I have the awsome honor of teaching the teachers on the island! I have to admit that I was nervous at first. But after getting started I remember what I love to do and let it just happen naturally. We had a great time. After the class we all went to Barbs kitchen for what else....champagne! Thank you all for taking my class and for the great privilege of teaching all of you. I had a blast.

It was a great day in heaven!

What else did we do....

Monday started out the same way. Chillin by the pool
I took another walk to the beach with my new friends


I can't get over how the dogs just get in the ocean and swim. They actually swim not walk around. It was so funny to watch. Chelsey likes to dig and get sand all over her nose. Oscar(my favorite) acts like the perfect gentelman. He just stays nearby not getting a messy and always looking out for me.





After a little more time in the sun it was time to go and teach. My first class was for 6 & 7 year olds. They were really cute! I love how hard they worked for me. At the end of class when they are supposed to shake my hand some of them hugged and kissed me! Too cute!!! The second class of girls was a little older and they worked just a hard. I was so honored to have been asked to teach them. Thank you Karina School of Dance & Performing Arts!

I have arrived!

I am in heaven right now. I spent the afternoon by the pool. Took a short walk to the beach with 6 dogs following me. I saw geckos. I put my feet in the ocean!
Chatted with my friends. I had a lovely salad made by the chef and she also made us snacks by the pool! I could really get used to this.
I don't have any pics yet and now I have to go and get ready for a swing jitterbug party????
Check back soon...
