And so it ends -
In a flash, 13 days of travel has ended. I am always left awestruck by the places visited, but even more amazed at the great people I meet along the way. Happy to have shared good times and good food (and all the drinks) with Dolly, Harold, Ruth, Lorelei, Joseph, Terry (for President), Mike (aka Cruise Bob), Louise and Mel (on his 92nd birthday), Tasha, Vernetta, Pat, and Johnie. Cheers to our next cruise 🍻Weiterlesen

Sea Days - Caribbean Sea and Straits of Florida
We had a few leisurely days at sea, even though some days saw 16-foot waves and 30-knot headwinds. Still, the ship was a great playground and we got to experience artful gingerbread villages, a round-the-world wine tasting, and behind the scenes tours of the laundry, kitchen and theater.Weiterlesen

Island of Roatan, Honduras

Roatan, Honduras -
Last port before heading back to Miami is the island of Roatan just off the northern coast of Honduras. Spent the afternoon at the Gumbalimba Park, where we learned about the history and culture of the island, crossed a rope bridge, followed the nature trail, saw macaws and capuchin monkeys really up close and personal, explored the insectarium, and ended with a stroll on the beach. What fun the animals were! Lovely little island and fair weather helped make the day so enjoyable.Weiterlesen

Harvest Caye, Belize -
One of NCL's private islands, this stop offers a resort-like feel for a day. Restaurants, bars, local shops, an expansive pool, water playground, sandy beach, water sports, ziplining, parasailing, and a wildlife area with butterfly enclosure. 🦋 The weather was beautiful in the morning, not too sunny, but we did have some light rain in the afternoon. Even though I had my poncho (Be Prepared!) I enjoyed the walk back to the ship in the refreshing drizzle. Paradise!Weiterlesen

Reisender The weather is definitely changeable, to say the least. 🌞🌤🌦 But it's the rainy season down here. And we're not shoveling snow ❄️

The weather in Mexico has been less than ideal... in Cozumel yesterday all the water activities were canceled. Today in Costa Maya, we could not even get off the ship due to high winds and crashing waves. These photos were taken from the ship at the pier as the surf pounded the vessel. Unsafe conditions to go ashore, but the restaurants and bars were still open! Won't catch me complaining about my surroundings... Any way you look at it, t'was a good dayWeiterlesen

The Island of Cozumel, Mexico -
I was looking to do something completely different in Cozumel, so I opted for the Mayan Chocolate, Honey, and Tequila circuit. Visited the sanctuary where tiny stingless bees make delicious honey with wondrous medicinal benefits; experienced the way the Mayans made chocolate and brought back samples 🍫; and tasted several varieties of tequila including coffee and hibiscus flavors. Drove by some beautiful remote beaches, and enjoyed the welcoming "mi casa es su casa" vibe from the locals.Weiterlesen

Beautiful Georgetown, Grand Cayman -
I had never been here and it did not disappoint. Our wonderful guide gave us a thorough history of the island... Took us to Hell and and then to Church (aka the Rum distillery), guided us through the turtle sanctuary, showed us the 7-mile beach, the house made of 3,000 conch shells, and the Aspiration Monument (a tribute to Caymanian women) located in Heroes Square. We sampled the tasty patties and the banana rum. So much fun AND I learned a lot...it was a good day 😉Weiterlesen

Costa Rica Scenic Trip.
Starting in Puerto Límon, we traveled across the mountains to a coffee farm that is Rainforest and Utz certified. Followed the process from picking the cherries to drying, roasting and bagging, and purchased a few bags to bring home. Happy to find out they have neutral carbon emissions (actually negative) and use every part of the plant for fertilizer, natural pesticide, and even fuel. Our guide also let us see a banana flower (yes, those are infant bananas) and taste fresh cacao.Weiterlesen

Lake Gatun & Agua Clara Locks
7. Dezember 2023 in Panama ⋅ ☁️ 88 °F
Panama Canal Journey - Atlantic Exit
Crossed the Gatun Lake, which was the world's largest man-made lake in 1914 when the Canal opened. In almost 110 years of operation the Canal has only been shut down 4 times. Approaching the Atlantic side, we begin the process of lowering the vessel the 85 feet back down to sea level. 3 locks, 4 gates. Approximately 30 minutes per gate to fill and open and move forward. Then under the Atlantic Bridge and on to the breakwater. We entered the Canal on the Pacific side at 5:15am and reached the Atlantic side around 4:30pm. What a truly AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
This one was for you, Ron ❤️Weiterlesen
