Back in the USA

We are back in Florida, after a super great, relaxing cruise.  We got off the ship first thing this morning, as quickly as possible, and drove from Fort Lauderdale to Tallahassee.  Tomorrow we will drive to New Orleans for the weekend, and then on to Texas!

Here are a few videos we took over the cruise that I am now able to upload. Nobody will mistake me for a good videographer, but I thought I would at least post the videos I had :)

This was the trip up the mountain in St. Maarten.  Not exactly a smooth ride

Here’s the up close and personal turtle encounter in Barbados

And finally, river tubing in Dominica

Sea Trek – St. Thomas, USVI

Today we spent the day docked in St. Thomas.  We took an open-air bus up to Coral World, and did a “Sea Trek” tour, wearing pressurized air helmets underwater.  Very fun!

There were Green Iguanas everywhere! Unfortunately, Justin could not convince one of them to give Buddy a ride!

Truly Paradise – A Day in Barbados

Barbados.  Something about it has always sounded exotic to me, thrilling, perfect.  Idyllic.

Beach. Nothing more to add.

Turtles saying hello to us.

Incredible.

And after spending a day here, swimming with turtles and spending some time on a beach, floating in the sea, I know I will be returning to this paradise.

Sail Away…

We’ve boarded the SS Noordam, a Holland America cuise ship, this afternoon, and we’re super excited to be headed out in just a few minutes for the Southern Caribbean.  This will be our fifth cruise, but first with Holland America.  Hopefully we’ll be able to connect to the internet here and there and give you some updates as the days go by.

Our stateroom, with a balcony! Always had inside cabins in the past.

Immediately enjoying the balcony!
