One thing that I uniquely enjoy, is a sunset. Whether it is from my balcony at home, or from a cruise ship sailing in the Caribbea. I write poetry about them and I take photographs every chance that I get. Although the ocean provides the best back drop, I've found that the warm reassuring colors splashed across the sky are  just as beautiful no matter where you are when you see it. Why not see America first. As we all look for the most cost effective way to stretch our dollars, consider seeing the sights in your own backyard, right here at home in America. We still live in one of the most picturque countries in the world . While we all can't jump on a ship or on a plane, many of our once in a lifetime views are just a short trip away.
