Friday, March 21 Our first full day was great!! We were a bit slow-moving in the morning, which I had expected. I hadn’t booked any timed tickets or anything, but was pretty firmly set that we’d do Tower of London on Friday. It’s a lengthy activity that requires multiple hours or a better part of… Continue reading Day 2! Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Chinatown and more
Saturday, June 15- Sunday, June 16 (*until we meet again) Saturday was our last last day, though for all practical purposes I considered Friday our last real day. However! Our flight was not until 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening, so technically we still had a big chunk of the day to enjoy. The evening/ overnight flight… Continue reading Days 16-17: A Hui Hou* Hawaii! Final adventures + home.
Tuesday, June 4 Morning: After our pretty long day Monday with more driving than expected, we all agreed we were down with a little more chill morning on Tuesday. We decided we didn’t want to head off anywhere “far away” on the island right away again that day. I met up with my mom in… Continue reading Day 5: Manoa Falls, pool, happy hour, Waikiki by night…
Sunday, June 2nd Ahhh this was a beautiful day. We saw some of the most STUNNING scenery and I apologize in advance for probable extreme photo overload. 😁 Will try to keep this as brief as I can so let’s dive in! Morning: Still up early but slightly better- I think up by a little… Continue reading Day 3: Ho’omaluhia Garden, Byodo-In Temple, Kualoa Ranch
Friday, May 31: Day One We made it! Pretty sure I start every travel post with those words but, phew, it felt a bit challenging to be ready to go this time. Just the busy season plus work plus Asher’s graduation on Thursday night… (more on that later! It was great.) Maybe sometime I’ll write… Continue reading Aloha Hawaii!!
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
GRATEFUL KAE
