Ten things you should know about my 2016 southern vacation;
1. If you are sister, Syd, people will gawk at your McDonald's grade soft ice cream twirling. I was rather jealous myself.
2. Hot tubs in the Caribbean are a wonderful idea. Especially in the sun. Especially on a Monday.
3. It was discovered that walking down the cabin-only decks feels like walking to China and back. The Youngest Cousin will gladly let you know how much he absolutely hated the walk from fwd. to aft.
4. If you wake up at 8:04 am to the sounds of the cruise director, Jase, letting you know that there has been a medical emergency and you are pulling into port; you just might be arriving in Cozumel four days earlier than you should be.
5. Serenity (the 21+ deck) is a very serene place to sit and write in your travel journal with Ma, Pa, the Aunties and sister, Syd.
6. The people of Honduras are a wonderfully humourous group of people. The only thing they lack is height, but don't let that take away from their ability to successfully run a zip-line course through the canopy a trees.
7. Following the visit to Belize, I have adopted such phrases as "Unbelizeable" and "Belize you me". Tour guide, Jeff, is the instigator of that escapade.
8. Tour guide, Jeff, inherited some beautiful sunglasses. In completely unrelated circumstances, I purchased new sunglasses in Cozumel.
9. The dining room is always a lovely place to try new and delectable foods. However, I didn't find myself trying alligator fritters or frog legs like The Youngest Cousin. I felt so honoured to be sitting beside such interesting foods.
10. If you questioned whether or not 14 people (our 13 plus the driver) and, approximately, 18 bags/pieces of luggage could fit into a 10 seat van, don't anymore. It was a tad bit squished, but hey, we're all family!
