And We’re Back!!!

dalton cruz bay beach

Well folks, after seven long weeks, we are finally back on island … and it feels amazing!

I’m sorry we’ve been absent for a week, but with all the traveling, we decided to take a little time for ourselves while getting Dalton acclimated to his new island home. And for the record, he loves it!!

I’d like to thank Chelsea, Andrea and Leah for helping me with some stories and pics while I was up in the states. I would also like to thank all of you for reading and for loving this little island of ours!

It’s honestly amazing how much progress occurred in the seven weeks that I was off island. For starters, the island is so green! We will have video on that soon. There’s also been a good deal of additional cleanup and work happening all across the island. It’s a beautiful sight.

Now that we’re home, we’re happy to announce that we will be resuming our island tours. Our first post-baby tour is today actually! So for those of you who are new to the island and would like a good overview, this tour is for you. Or if you are a longtime visitor (thank you for that!) and you would like to see some off-the-beaten places you may not have seen thus far, I’m your girl! You can email me at [email protected] or check out www.newsofstjohn.com/islandtour for more information.

And now I promise not to be that person who posts pictures of my baby all the time, but I thought you all might enjoy seeing a few of a little island baby exploring his new home… Have a great day everyone!

Have passport. Will travel. (Look out Soggy Dollar, we're coming for you!!)

Chillin' at the Trunk Bay overlook...
Well hello world famous Trunk Bay… (He was only in the sun for about 30 seconds.)
He's probably not going to remember his first visit to Maho... lol
