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!
Days 14 and 15 in Costa Rica: Friday 3/24- Saturday 3/25 The day I always semi-dread throughout my entire vacation had arrived: the last day. I was up nice and early- before 6, I think. I spent a good 45 minutes packing up my backpack, re-rolling my clothes in the packing cubes, and attempting to… Continue reading Friday 3/24- Saturday 3/25: Last morning at the beach, El Avión and travel home!
Day 12 in Costa Rica, Wednesday 3/22 Wednesday was our day to visit the famous Manuel Antonio National Park! This is the most visited national park in Costa Rica- a park full of wild animals, jungle, and beautiful beaches. Timed entrance tickets are required (purchase online only). The big debate here was if we should… Continue reading Wednesday 3/22: Manuel Antonio National Park day
Day 11 in Costa Rica: Tuesday, 3/21 We were somehow already in the home stretch of the trip by Tuesday the 21st!! 3 full days left, and then a flight home late Friday night. The plan for Tuesday was to go to Nauyaca Falls, about an hour and 15 minutes south of Manuel Antonio near… Continue reading Tuesday 3/21: A “Top 10 Life Moment”- Nauyaca Waterfall, Dominical + sunsets galore
Day 10 in Costa Rica: Monday, 3/20 I've mentioned before that I don't love arriving to a new place after dark. When I am unfamiliar with a location, I find it generally disorienting to be attempting to get the "lay of the land" when I can't see the whole bigger picture. We arrived to Manuel… Continue reading Monday 3/20: Beach Day at Playa Biesanz and Playa Espadilla, plus.. surf lessons!
Sunday, 3/19: Day 9 in Costa Rica It was our last morning in Monteverde!! Sad!! And it was a most gorgeous, blue sky, sunny morning: Sorry, more horse pics.... hehe. Me, showered and no hat on!!!
