Throwing Rocks In St Thomas

On our cruise to the Caribbean, one of our stops was St. Thomas, USVI. We have friends there who picked us up at the dock and took around the island seeing the sights that locals enjoy. We saw Coral World and the Sky Tram. But the most fun was when we drove out to Megan’s Point and walked out to the end of the pennisula. We climbed some big rocks then stood and threw stones into the sea. It was the best stop on the whole cruise.

Cruisin’

Our Grandson was watching a commercial for a Carnival Crusie. He turned and said “I want all of us to go on a cruise together.
We had a week of our time share banked, so we called and made a swap, using the week toward a cruise. We are going to cruise for seven days, out of Miami. We will visit San Juan, St Thomas and St Martin! Ask and you shall receive!

Cruising To Mexico

My first born daughter and her husband celebrated their twentieth anniversary on a week long cruise to Mexico and Honduras. They were on a Royal Caribbean Lines ship, though I do not know the name of the boat. This was their first cruise and they loved it. They did not take the standard excursions, choosing to explore other options. I turned out wonderfully. One day they snorkeled, but they will never do that again, because the next day they went diving for the first time and fell in love with it!

 They were all smiles when they got home yesterday.

Cruise to Cozumel.

My bride and I just returned from our cruise to Cozumel. We were celebrating our fortieth anniversary, so we wanted to be treated well. The Carnival crew on the Ecstasy were very accommodating and we had a wonderful time. We ate so much, as on any cruise. We even skipped both midnight buffets.

Our shore excursion was to see the Mayan ruins at Tulum. That was an eye opening experience as to the culture and advancements the Mayans had made. There was a bit of walking that might put others off, and the trip feom the ship to the site required a ferry ride of half an hour, plus a bus ride of forty five minutes. That made it so we had less than three hours to take in the attractions of the archeological stie.

I won the trivia challenge on the ship. It was really a goofy little test, but I guess I know more stupid things than the others who participated!
