Off to the Farm

We're back - and right back at it! We took our kids to the Kids Food Basket Farm to let them help out in weeding. All to create nutritious food for local kiddos. Great way to spend a night!

Costa Maya

Wonderful excursion to the Mayan temple in Costa Maya - Chochoban. What a great experience!

Cozumel

In an effort to be courageous and brave - we rented a car and toured the island ourselves! After...having found the rental place was not in its stated spot...and speaking in Spanish to find the new location...and taking a taxi....and not getting what we rented...but only paying $4.50 for the car. What an adventure it was!! We snorkeled, toured the island, did a little browsing of a local grocery store and called it a day. Gorgeous night view as we departed.

Jamaica

Our first stop is Jamaica. We are in Ocho Rios which is where Dunn's Riverfalls is. It's a partially man sculpted waterfall that is a tourist attraction. Lovely, cool water, but tons of people! We tripped across a couple from Chile and Argentina that help to skip a few lines and really enjoy the experience that much more. Grateful to meet people from near and far who still show kindness to strangers.

A quick stop at back in Port to connect on the Wi-Fi, send a message to our children, and have a red stripe beer. All in all, a good, but very hard, day!

Caymans

Hubs, off enjoying a scuba diving adventure, left me to wander the island for a bit. Having been there before, I was more prone to just enjoying the scenery. I really should have found a way to get on a local bus and take it for a ride around the island, but practicality prevailed and I decided to stay local.

In the end, a little stop at Margaritaville, a view of some amazing tarpons and blue sea as far as the eye could see. Gorgeous day!!

Birthday Boy

Day one… Miami… Where the club level concierge decided to really kick it up a notch and heard it was his birthday. Champagne, truffles and total relaxation. After that, we headed to the ship and got the lay of the land. Looking forward to a good week together

Off We Go!

It is time for our yearly trip… The one where we farm our children off to camp and we leave the country! This time, a cruise to the Caribbean. Miami, here we come. We are going to start by taking that extra upgrade to a really great room and kick off birthday week for hubs in a perfect way
