  • Cincinnati Airport, KY/OH

    July 14, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    This will be the first time the kids have ever flown. Their doctor prescribed "relaxers" aka Valium for them in case they freaked out. They didn't need them but I most certainly did!

    We got stuck at the check-in because their computers went down. So we were rushed through and told to run to get to the our gate. But of course TSA decided me and my purse looked like we were "being suspicious" and pulled me out to talk to me. The TSA agent was a jerk. Asking me "You wanna tell me what's your purse?" I was like "No buddie. You're the one with x-ray vision, won't you tell me Superman." He didn't care for my attitude and I didn't care for him! All he found was a bottle of some liquid my daughter had shoved in my purse. 😖 Our plane was late taking off.

    NOTE TO SELF:
    NEVER, EVER fly to your port city on the SAME day your cruise is planned to embark. ROOKIE MISTAKE! Although we made it, I hated checking in so late plus everything felt rushed. It made me too nervous!

  • Half Moon Cay

    July 16, 2018 on the Bahamas

    The most beautiful beach n the Caribbean. White sand, turquoise ocean water that feels like bath water! By far, my most favorite place!!

    We had a great time today! Jonathan did he limbo but lost. Jamie won the tug-of-war and got his first Carnival Cruises Trophy!Read more

  • Turks & Caicos

    July 17, 2018 in Turks and Caicos Islands

    Turks and Caicos. Friendly Island. The Beach smells like pot, probably why they are so friendly. You could get a good contact buzz if you wanted. The ocean was full of seaweed. Imagine taking a beautiful white sand beach and dropping it in the middle of Oakland, Cleveland or Detroit. That's what the beach atmosphere and vibe felt like to me. They say Turks & Caicos has the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. We never found them!Read more
