Cruises
We love cruising! Cruising is a great way to travel with large groups or families. It also allows you to sample a variety of places to decide where you want to revisit. In this section, I'll tell you all about our cruises in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, the Mediterranean, and Asia. I'll share river cruises as well.Â
More content will follow in this section, but eventually I will explore different cruise lines and types of cruises and help you choose the best cruise for you!
Caribbean Cruises are probably the most popular and accessible for Americans, so we will start there!
So many amazing places are a quick hop from the USA! Swap your daily grind for turquoise waters and ancient ruins. Caribbean and Central American destinations beckon! Picture yourself sipping cocktails on a sugar-sand beach, then exploring Mayan temples shrouded in jungle. Adventure awaits – pack your swimsuit and your sense of wonder!Â

Symphony of the Seas Path Report: The cruise from HELL!
I am writing this blog post from the sigmoid colon of the Symphony of the Seas, the second largest cruise ship in the world with the world’s tiniest portholes. What started out as a celebration of our oldest son’s college graduation, morphed into a miserable sequestration (for me) in a 150 sq ft room for 48 hours. This gave me some small idea of what the passengers on the original COVID-plagued ships must have felt and it was not fun!! At least I knew when I was to disembark and what was going on… they, instead, were trapped, sometimes in interior cabins, with no idea when they could leave or how sick they would become. That must have been pure terror at sea!!
