Goodbye Caribbean!

Today is our last day in the Caribbean! We spent our last afternoon going to a black sand beach (what a unique experience!) reflecting on all the amazing experiences God has blessed us with throughout the Caribbean. We set sail out of Dominica this evening at 6pm. Hard to believe we'll be leaving the Caribbean after an incredible 10 months. We had 40,600 visitors in Roseau, Dominica during the nine days we were open. And here's a number that will blow you away... during our last 10 months in the Caribbean, we had 833,000 visitors! Can you believe that?? Praise God! Since July 30, 2009, we have visited 14 countries in the Caribbean and 18 ports. We leave the Caribbean with mixed emotions -- sad hearts since we have absolutely LOVED being the in the Caribbean, but we also have very joyful hearts as we anticipate Africa. The Caribbean will always hold such a special place in our hearts.
