The center of my joy
Having a Sunday brunch with my in-laws @ home in Soufriere

It is fuck-up when people misunderstood you.John Dorman was misunderstood by his siblings,Jesus was misunderstood by his family,President Obama was misunderstood by the American people,Martin Luther King was misunderstood by the whites,Nelson Mandela was misunderstood.To be successful in life is to be misunderstood  

Hi I am John Dorman a shy and sedate young man who was given up for adoption abused by some of my siblings.Some say that am an enigma wrapped in a riddle. In my modest opinion I am a dreamer,a professional believer in me
No longer do I fear my synthetic family members why did I hear you asked ? I am victorious, I excelled in the face of defeat,I am magnificent,I am euphoric I am blessed and highly favored I am John Dorman I came from the abyss of despair and landed on the shores of success  
this is the most alluring fishing village in the Caribbean...Soufriere the village with the most.... all of Saint Lucia's natural amenities are nestled in Soufriere
In the genesis of my young adult life my siblings kicked me to the curb my life was in a rot.Today the entire universe is within my reach
The Dorman's exploring the enchanting island of Saint Kitts by taxi
Soufriere


We had a wonderful cruise vacation at an affordable price . Entertainment was best on this ship. Also, the food was top notch and the romance was very steamy we did rock the boat a little
While in Cancun we went shopping for a Timeshare After much consideration we deem it to be too exuberant for our budget
Soufriere

The Dorman's basking happily under the Saint Thomas sun.During the course of the day ,we took a ferry to visit the beautiful island of St.John
Prior to going on our cruise we opted to spend a night in old San Juan
 Wow! I have to say that I was very impressed with the new cruise ship the Valor it was my seventh cruise I had an awesome time, Sophia and I really enjoyed ourselves .This vacation left with lots of wonderful memories that will last a life time
Thanks for your generosity during hurricane Thomas
Old San Juan
This is our first stop  of our 7 day cruise . This tiny Caribbean Island was reminiscent of a movie I had seen many eons ago ..The Land That Time Forgot . If you love crawling  creatures this is the place for you. The Island is an oasis for all sort of tropical creatures. To be on the safe side I HIRED  A TAXI AND EXPLORED THIS AMAZING  LITTLE PARADISE. It was definitely a good decision. We had a wonderful time exploring .

"The cruise was delightful with delicious cuisine, great pool and deck, activities with lots  of humorous comedians and enjoyable Broadway shows in the evening. one evening we were delightfully surprised by Steve Wonder ,  plus the fact prior to sailing  we had a most luxurious stay imaginable in old San Juan 

We let our imagination ran wild in Cancun.I wanted to go swimming with the dolphins ,but Sophia being a poor swimmer was to nervous
so we opted to go shopping for timeshares.Unable to afford the exuberant fees they were asking we decided to wander around and experience the city bars and restaurants like a tourist 
 
We are having a love affair with a mofongo dish.Mofongo is an Afro-Puerto Rican dish with fried plantains as its main ingredient. Plantains

We have an affinity for cruising and this cruise vacation had it all.It was one of the  most wonderful cruise experience 
of our lives.
The ship was beautiful and clean as a whistle.The ambiance was fantastic.Our king size bed was heavenly

I COMMIT MYSELF TO PROUDLY SERVE MY COUNTRY
 
 have a passion for travel


In 2005,  I comfortably retired from work and commenced a life of travel . I  took a few cruises and fell in love with the allure of the sea  that would ultimately change the course of my life forever.
A love affair with life ensued, as I became a travelling husband ,for the first time, my wife and I took  15 glorious days sailing the Caribbean We saw some of the wonders of the modern world. met some of the most wonderfully inspiring people  I could hope to meet.
With God on my right my travels continued from there and over the last 11 years.I have been blessed to have many more adventures in the Caribbean region ,North and South America,Europe and recently the Mediterranean.
My family still think that am an enigmatic person.They say that am an enigma wrapped in a riddle. The bible says it best... It is impossible for a man to be a king in his home town...
Next vacation  2016 sweet Chicago  

I've always enjoyed being a soldier. I've always enjoyed serving my country. I take great pride with that.

I proudly served in the Army


I work to live, and tonight I wanna live it up.

Sophia and I finally found the moment

so we are gonna embrace it and hold it

We are chilling and living in the moment

on board the Golden Princess

Serving my country was a life-changing experience for me. It was during those years that I realized the importance of commitment, dedication, honor, and discipline
The Dorman's exploring Mexico
ENJOYING A MUCH NEEDED REST IN ST.JOHN USVI


























The Dorman's are basking in St.John St. John is a picturesque little island that offers nature lovers an array of activities to partake in. One of the most popular activities is going to the beach


My band of brothers that no one can deny.We fought on a field of battle so that all can be free.Some of us lay there dying so that you could enjoy freedom
CASTRIES GALS
St.JOHN

Freedom is not free. We may sometimes take for granted the many liberties we enjoy in America, but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many of the members of our armed forces.So when next you see a Veteran Thank him for his contribution to our nationSpending quality time on the island of St.John

John Dorman in Cozumel


Basking under the Cozumel sun


Today we wandered and explored this vibrant city.Houston offers a variety of eclectic things to see and do unfortunately it snowed for the first time  in 12 years.


 Tonight we are chilling and savoring a beautiful moment together on a romantic ship


 My  scholastic friend the least that I can say about this gal is that she is simply brilliant 


Tonight Sophia threw caution to the wind and choose indulgence over health.She has a weakness for cheese cake.  
  The essence of life is to savor a beautiful moment with that special person in your life

Savoring small pleasures




The Soufriere botanical gardens isn’t just a garden, it’s bordering on heaven. Sophia and I LOVE wandering through the brightly colored gardens, sharing a secret kiss in the hidden nooks and crannies. In the cooler months of the year we love spending quality time here.There's something magical about this garden that will warm your spirit and add a spark of heat to your romance.A little woppie in the gardens will add luster to your life


Today we are enjoying a warm summer breeze in the botanical gardens
