X-mas Vacation - Day 9 (Tortola, VI)

Next Stop, Tortola.  We are off the ship again and this time we find a bus tour as we head into town.  Sounds like fun and gives us something different to do.  Great sites and at the pit stop Keith tried a new drink...think they should have just called it a whole bunch or rum instead of a Painkiller!

 Oh and I have yet to say anything about the food.  It has so far been pretty amazing considering all the people they are pushing through the ship.  Only one night so far did things with our reservations for dinner get messed up and the food not quite get where they were supposed to be but overall extremely pleased with the food.  A few other issues but what the heck, we are on vacation!!!

X-mas Vacation - Day 8 (St. Thomas)

Our first stop is St. Thomas, USBVI.  We got off the ship, did a little shopping.  Then we went back to the ship and took advantage of the fact there were no line-ups on the waterslide and the pools (Curtis and I did)...Keith and Spencer went back to town to do some more shopping.

X-mas Vacation - Day 7 (At Sea)

Feeling much better.  Time to join the family and see what is on this ship!

We played mini-putt....a lot!

found a wine bottle that most of our
friends would appreciate :)

admired the ship's decor

got treats from our steward every day..fun!

X-mas Vacation - Days 5 & 6 (Ahoy Matey)

We set sail today.  Got to the ship, no problem (good call on the cab).  Found our entrance, not too much of a problem.  Found our room, a little problem but all good.  Found the bar, really no problem.  Set sail and then hit rough seas for the next day and a half...problem for Mom! 
Oh, well, nothing too serious, just as long as I was laying in bed I was ok and the boys all looked after me wonderfully while we were at sea.

X-Mas Vacation - Day 4 (Miami)

We finally made our way to Miami and found our hotel.  Note to self, forewarn Keith the next time you book a hotel with valet parking.  OMG!  Love the Aloft Hotel and found a great sports bar close by for dinner.  Can't wait to get on the ship tomorrow.  Excited!!

X-mas Vacation - Day 3 (Cocoa Beach)

We made it back to Cocoa Beach to see our friends Tracey, Kirk and Rockford.  They were the hostesses with them mostest.  Thanks so much for starting our vacation off with a bang!!

Up early to catch the sunrise...a tradition when in Cocoa Beach
and with Tracy, Kirk & Rockford.  So beautiful

We even managed to find Gord and his wife at home and had a quick hidy-ho with them before we had to get on the road.

Let's not also forget a stop at Ron Jon's...will we ever get to Miami?!

Xmas Vacation - Day 1 & 2

We are headed for Florida again and can't wait to get there.  We have so many things planned for this great trip. 

Two long days of driving and long winding roads through the mountains but we are almost there.  Will hit Cocoa Beach tomorrow where we will connect up with our friends for the day before we are off to Miami.  Can't wait!
