This 300 piece puzzle was much easier than “Fantastic”. It was completed in about an hour and all the more fun because I like map puzzles. Whereas “Fantastic” was one piece short, this map had an extra piece, so I guess the puzzle universe balanced itself.

I picked it up as a souvenir for Ms. B on our way out of Aruba…and let me tell you about that airport. You’re tricked into thinking that everything is cheap on the island until you’re on you way out of the country and need things at the airport. Bottles of soda are $2.50, slices of Sbarro are $5, magazines are two times the cover price, and paperbacks at the bookstore are usually around $20. Paperbacks!

Anyway, I found this puzzle much easier because I just looked for words to match up. Does that make me right brained or something? When I was sorting out the pieces between land and ocean, I noticed that most of the puzzle covered water. It seemed weird to me that we were working on a puzzle that framed a body of water but it was a fun exercise.
