Welcome to Cruise blog 2 - The Caribbean Strikes Back. The purpose of this blog is for me to leave a daily diary of my cruise vacation to give me a record of what I plan on being a great time. If you've stumbled upon this blog by chance or because you know me feel free keep up with the trip. I dont promise to be entertaining but I'll try. And this year I'm going to try to post pictures!!!
In exactly 7 days I will be settling down into bed for the first night of this year's cruise. I am so looking forward to it. This year we will be going on a 14 day cruise (two 7 day cruises back to back) to the Western and Eastern Caribbean. Ports include:
Grand Cayman
Cozumel Mexico
Roatan Honduras
St Thomas US Virgin Islands
St Maarten
Nassau, The Bahamas
Princess Cay - Twice
I have not yet booked any excursions but there are a few I think I will o on. After several trips to Cozumel I think I may final go see the Mayan ruins at Tulum. I've seen Altun Ha in Belize but Tulum is supposed to be more impressive. I will probably stay on the ship in Nassau and Princess cay as I'm not into sitting on the beach or overpriced shopping. As for the other ports It all depends on how I feel. The only one I havent been to yet is St Maarten.
I started preparing last week by going on a bit of a shopping spree for clothes. Today I got my hair cut. Tomorrow will get all the extras I need - sunscreen, aloe, sunglasses, kindle books, travel size aspirin, powder etc.
Lastly I have four more days of work and they are going to be the four hardest days of the year. I really want to catch up an leave things all tied up while Im gone. Jason is out of town this week so there will be no reason to rush home at the end of the day so I may stay late a couple days to get things done.
