The Voyage

I love warm weather and it's been too cold for too long around Dallas. So a cruise going to the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas had a lot of appeal.

While each island has it's own character, they are all gorgeous. I've concluded that I prefer the islands with volcanic origins.  They are hilly and lush rather than just flat. But again, they are all unique and all beautiful.

We were supposed to make a return trip to Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas (cruise line private island) but due to engine issues, that didn"t happen. Saved us all a bundle - we'd planned to splash out and get a cabana with a butler. But since we didn't actually get it, we did1n't have to pay for it. Plus the cruise line gave us $100 credit for our trouble. All in all, a good trip

Here are some photos.
