This was a trip we had planned for months and final the day came. The kids were really into the trip but Deb had her reservations. She was reality concerned with the motion sickness idea. We all know she has a hard time taking the escalator nevermind 7 days at sea. But she was willing to take one for the team. And she wasn't sorry!!! We sailed out right after hurricane Dennis had batter the western side in FL. We were pleased to see it pass well to the east of us as we departed Miami. We sailed the first day in fantastic weather and calm seas. The kids were completely into having some freedom. Jon and Lindsay made friends quickly and were out on their own a good portion of the day. Jon was out most nights til 2am. Yup that's right 2 in the morning. He was out with friends in the he arcade onboard. You can see from the pictures we had a great wait staff in the dining room. One was from Romania and the other from the Ukraine. They were really fun and were teaching the kid's basic words in their language. The best parts were the shore excursion. Lindsay and Deb did the swim with the dolphins and Jon and I did a Helmut dive. We all went to a sea turtle farm and snorkeling. The week went far to fast. We sailed back just ahead of hurricane Emily. She pounded the areas we had just visited. I hope the pictures do the vacation justice. MORE PICS IN THE NEXT POST. I CAN ONLY POST 4 AT A TIME
