I am feeling GOOD today!! I feel minorly guilty saying this so excitedly, but I'll say it anyway: Both boys are away from home for a while!!! This is a very rare situation around here. Ethan wanted to go stay with my parents for a week before school starts (he does this most summers and… Continue reading A ME day… and passing on a travel opportunity
Friday, June 30- Perfect Day at Coco Cay Friday was our last real day of vacation!! (Saturday/ travel day doesn't really count, IMO.) Our final port of call was Royal Caribbean's private island, located in the Bahamas and called Coco Cay. They refer to this port as "Perfect Day at Coco Cay", because, how catchy.… Continue reading Days 8 & 9- Coco Cay and home!
Thursday, June 29 Thursday was our second "at sea" day!! YAY! The ports were super fun, but I think we were all ready for a slower, more relaxed day after the 3 port visits in a row. (I mean, we usually do many days of sightseeing in a row when we travel, so that part… Continue reading Day 7: Sea Day #2
Wednesday, June 28 On Wednesday we sailed into Cozumel, Mexico! In my "perfect world" I probably would not choose to have 3 ports of call all back to back to back like this (might have been nice to have a low key "at sea day" in between), but.... geography. 🙂 Given the layout of the… Continue reading Day 6: Cozumel, Mexico
Tuesday, June 27 Tuesday was our 2nd port of call, Belize City, Belize! A new country for me. (As was Honduras.) I feel like 2023 is the “Year of Central America” for our family, between Costa Rica in March and now Honduras, Belize, and Mexico. 🙂 Early morning on balcony again: Then off to our… Continue reading Day 5: Belize City, Belize
Ohhhh as expected, I’ve already fallen so far behind on posting! The combination of obviously just being very preoccupied and also spotty internet has meant… radio silence. 🙂 The problem is that we have done so many different things and have had such full days that the details are probably getting a bit fuzzy/intertwined/mixed up!… Continue reading Day 4: Roatan, Honduras
Sunday, June 25 Our first full day on the ship was our first “at sea” day. So, no island stops or ports of call, just sailing all day. Which means lots of time to just enjoy stuff around the ship! Beautiful morning: Somewhere off the coast of Cuba Our balcony Water as far as the… Continue reading Day 3- Sea Day #1
Hello! It’s been an exciting few days. I’m writing from aboard a cruise ship, currently looking out at the ocean and not much else. 🙂 I mentioned previously this trip is a big combo family trip with my parents, sister’s family and us, in honor of my parents’ 50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!! (Which was last September,… Continue reading First couple days of family cruise!
Okay, I'm officially feeling almost 100% human again (see more here about my fun Adventures in Food Poisoning). THE REST of the trip was peachy keen and fun! Here's a little recap of how it all went, and, some important "shots of my outfits" that I made Ivan take of me literally so that I… Continue reading Austin, TX Recap!
Headed back from Austin a day late… because as the title gave away, the very end of our Texas trip was literally spoiled by food poisoning. 😩😩 Looking on the bright side…. 1) It hit me Sunday morning around 6 a.m…. Which was to be our departure day anyway (so, no further plans to be… Continue reading It’s all fun and games until you get food poisoning
GRATEFUL KAE
