Thursday, December 28 Backing up a couple days… (writing this on Saturday 12/30). We had spent Wednesday night in Mexico City. Thursday morning we got up and had a fairly slow morning while Ivan’s aunt and mom made tortas for breakfast. Basically like extra delicious sandwiches on telera rolls with refried beans and cheese and… Continue reading Mexico City Adventure #4: Castle of Chapultepec
Wednesday, December 27th (continued) Picking up where I left off…. So after the Basilica, we split up and Ivan, his dad, the boys and I continued on to the Historic Centro, or “ZĂłcalo”. This where the Cathedral is, the National Palace, and more. Various historical sights are here (or near here) and it’s basically the… Continue reading Mexico City Adventure #3- El ZĂłcalo + Palacio de Bellas Artes
Wednesday, December 27th Ok, I didn’t technically number the first one, but I’ll call our Christmas Day outing to Coyoacán our tourist event #1 of the trip. Yesterday, Wednesday the 27th, we drove back to Mexico City for another overnight and more tourist adventures. I think I’ll split these into different posts to make it… Continue reading Mexico City Adventure #2
Yesterday (the 26th) was a really chill day!! Which was fine by me. After all of the busy holiday stuff at home, packing, travel, early mornings, late nights, Christmas….it was nice to have our first full day in Toluca be a relaxing one. Everyone kind of slept in/lounged around much of the morning. It’s just… Continue reading A relaxed day
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas! Just like that, it’s the 26th already. Wow. We had a good day, albeit drastically different than any other Christmas in my life! The boys were mildly grumbly about the fact that it “didn’t feel like Christmas”. They didn’t not enjoy the day or anything, but they said… Continue reading Christmas Day + Coyoacán
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
GRATEFUL KAE
