Western Caribbean (2008) - shoshtrvls

Day 5

shoshtrvls — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Today we stopped in Cozumel and took an "excursion" (man, I hate these cruise excursions) to the ruins at Tulum. They were actually very interesting but unfortunately there wasn't a lot of time to explore or, more importantly, enjoy the beautiful little beach.

Day 6 was spent at sea, today was at Castaway Cay. Nice place. Totally contrived. But Ellery and I did get to check off another "adventure activity" -- parasailing.

Day 8

Home again, home again.

Day 4

shoshtrvls — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

A relaxing day spent in Grand Cayman shopping and snorkeling (something that Ellery was initially terrified to do, but eventually went at it with great gusto).

Day 3

OK, we didn't really get to Havana, but passed by on our way to Grand Cayman.

Tonight's dinner was formal night.

Day 2

shoshtrvls — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Ellery decided to stay on the ship and I wandered around Key West. It's a cute little place.

And in the typical small world of travel, there was an open air art show and I was immediately drawn to a particular artist -- one I had seen in Rittenhouse Square.

Day 1 (continued)

shoshtrvls — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT

It's all VERY Disney. Organized, orderly, sterile. But you know, sometimes you want that.

Ellery and Samantha dressed in their matching red outfits for our first dinner of the cruise.

We flew to Orlando and were bussed, as promised, to the ship.
