We are BEYOND excited about our upcoming trip!
A Day In St Lucia
Our Norwegian Cruise Line Southern Caribbean Cruise from San Juan was a time to relax and chill out, we had a lot going on and wanted time with our friends Mike and Fran. As we had been to a number of the islands, we chose to do a beach break and chill in Barbados, and…
Caribbean Cruise from San Juan
Back in February, we took a Norwegian Cruise Line Southern Caribbean Cruise. Life has gotten in the way, so travel blogging has taken a back seat for a little bit. This is the Cliff’s Notes version of our last vacation. Third Time’s A Charm We actually had a future cruise certificate we had attempted to…
I LOVE Cuba

The Truth About Truck Stops
Ok, ok, I can hear several friends laughing already. We traveled several hours in a bus heading from Chengdu to Chongqing with a few stops along the way. When we entered the highway our driver had to stop at a checkpoint, get out of the bus and sign in. Apparently, truck drivers in China can’t…
Not Yo Mama’s HoJo
