Huge cruise ships cannot even get close enough to tender.… Continue reading Caribbean Cruise: Part 2

Caribbean Cruise: Part 1

Well, we have been back to reality for about a week and a half now. It was definitely a vacation I did not want to end! For Phil, it wasn’t so much a vacation. He worked most of the time. However, I was able to drag him out from time to time. All in all,… Continue reading Caribbean Cruise: Part 1
