We didn’t get to take a family vacation last year. We just didn’t feel we could afford to spend the money. Instead we pinched pennies to pay off all the bills and save money for this year. And this year we’re planning a very nice one!
We’ve booked a cruise. Seven days of tropical bliss. We’re sailing on Carnival’s Liberty.
The ship is ranked at 4 1/2 stars by Vacationstogo.com. The pictures are beautiful.
Where are we going? The itinerary includes Ochos Rios, Jamaica, Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, and Cozumel, Mexico! WooHoo! First stop is Jaimaica where we plan to visit Dunn’s River Falls. Check out the cool pictures.
Next stop will be Grand Cayman. We are planning a snorkling excursion there. They say that of the three ports of call, Cayman has the best reefs and sites for snorkeling and diving. And as with all the pictures of Caribbean beaches, these promise to be gorgeous.
As well as the snorkeling, we’re going to spend a little time on the beach and make a quick trip to the post office in Hell. I can’t go to Cayman and not mail a few postcards from Hell. LOL
The last port is Cozemul, Mexico. We’ve picked an all-day excursion that will take us to the Mayan ruins at Tulum. After a tour of the ruins, we get to spend an hour or so on the white sand beach nearby.
Needless to say, we are very excited about the trip. It’s not until the first week of June, but we are already counting the days till departure.
82 days. Just long enough to lose a few more pounds and get a bit of base tan so we are less likely to burn in the Caribbean sun. 🙂
