  • 5 Nights of Magic

    At long last I am finally getting to blogging the rest of my 20 nights on the Magic.  We arrived in port early in the morning, but didn’t have to worry about rushing to breakfast and getting off the ship so it was much more relaxed.  We packed up our last few things and asked…

  • Castaway Cay – An End to 15 Nights

    With two hurricanes looming, we weren’t sure what today would bring, but we made it in to Castaway Cay this morning around 7:30 am.  We backed in to the dock and had a beautiful view of the island as it was waking up.  We got a bite to eat and in no time Christaan was…

  • My Face is Cuter than My…

    Today we woke up in Puerto Vallarta.  Of all the places in Mexico that I have seen, this is one of the two best!  The mountains were covered with lush greenery, it looks so beautiful!  Today is the day that I am going to ride a burro, zip line and rappel.  When I told Bill…
