Caribbean Cruise with the Kids Nov/Dec 2014

       So we started off from Mission on the 21st of Nov, heading to Seattle Washington ... our start of 17 or so days of fun in the sun. Heather was our driver of choice as more used to the traffic and route, now of course someone should have told the American drivers that it is dangerous to talk on their cells while driving, as several times we were nearly sideswiped anyway we did make it without accident.

        Spent the night at a motel and in the morning shuttled to the airport and so the journey begins. Spent the next night in Miami and then the next day we boarded the ship Celebrity Eclipse ... and 14 days in the Caribbean begins.

Went well with weather around 85-95 degrees ... waters not too rough and the ports of call nice... ST Martens ... ST Kitts .... Barbados ... Aruba ... etc

I am sure the kids could have used more time by themselves and I and the wife did persuade them from time to time to venture out to the beaches by themselves ... we could not keep up with them anyway ... age thing.

Took some nice pictures ... drank a few drinks here and there on the ship mostly. I did upgrade to a higher booze package so I could partake of the Martinis that were available lol.

Overall we had fun although after 14-17 days we all were happy to get home ... too much to do and not enough time and cash to do it all. I think most holidayers fall into this category ... not sure what the answer is ...

Anyway the kids are off on another trip on march Hawaii ... they asked us to tag along I think we will butt out this time still paying off last trip ... they can and probably will have Heathers parents along with them ... would have like to make it with them and do the bonding thing ... maybe this summer we can camp with them ... hope so.
