Ayiti is creole for Haiti.
After our wedding we completed 2 more 6 month contracts with Royal Caribbean we met amazing people, saw gorgeous sites and learned a lot of new skills. Here are some highlights from our time living in Haiti.
March 2020 we flew back to America to sit out the pandemic. Right now things are on hold and we are in a season of transition but we are so thankful for the times we have had so far.
So many sunny days spent at Amiga Island.
Île-à-Rat: an island nearby Labadee surrounded by crystal clear water and reef. Christopher Columbus renamed it Amiga Island for his female friend that he would bring here.

Cola Couronne my favorite drink in Haiti!
Rainy day on Labadee...
Tap Tap the wooden taxi boats that will take you from island to island or back to the mainland and tap-tap the side of the boat when you'd like to get off!
