Good Afternoon World!!!! Hellllllooooooooooo!!!!!
Well, where do I begin????
We arrived home yesterday, early afternoon. I was completely exhausted, dizzy, and feeling really terrible. I don't know how many of you have cruised before.. but here's the scoop. When I cruise, I am 100% perfect feeling on the ship. When I get home: Totally different story. NO joke. lol! I feel so bad. Every time I stand up, I think I'm going to fall over. It's so weird. The term for this is: Sea Legs. They're not kidding. And, Brooke....poor poor Brooke! She was more sick feeling than me! She actually got really sick! She woke me up at 2:00 a.m. I had no idea where I was. lolol!!! I was so tired and confused. AND DIZZY! Recovery is tough, but well worth it. Heck, I think next time I'll wear that little patch behind my ear. I understand that it really helps a lot. It's worth a try.
So, My trip. It was awesome. We had our ups.... we had our downs... But, over all.... It was awesome!!!! And, the kids loved it so much. They really didn't know what to expect. Brandon came out of his shell, and was totally different the whole week Very outgoing, etc... not a care in the world. He really surprised us. If nothing else, watching him on the trip was well worth all the time and effort put into this vacation. I honestly feel that way.
We went to the Bahamas. It was "OK". Nassau was not very impressive. Not for any bad reason, but it just didn't feel like the place for me. Not very relaxing. And, somewhat dirty. I know, it sounds strange. BUT, if you've been there, you might agree. Now, the second stop in the Bahamas, the Great Stirrup Cay Island- that was beautiful. The water was crystal clear, and the pretty little fish would swim right up to us. I even got a few nibbles on my arm (lol). My gold bracelet with the dangle heart must have gotten their attention. They would bite at me a little. It didn't hurt. It was really cute. I stayed in the water most of the day at Great Stirrup Cay. I loved it. The only bad part about it was when I somehow managed to twist my ankle. It didn't bother me until that night. I woke up in a lot of pain. I have no idea what happened. But, luckily, it didn't last the whole rest of the trip. Only about a day or two.
And Bermuda.....oh, Bermuda. I LOVE Bermuda!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Bermuda! The people. The sights, the beaches... oh my. Everyone smiles and waves. Everyone. The buildings are all pastel colors. The beaches are amazing. Pink sand, clear blue/green water. Breath taking......... paradise. :) Can you tell I love Bermuda?
I feel like it was a real successful trip. OK..... so I booked for next year! I just didn't secure a date. We do know that we'll be taking the same ship, and we'll be cruising to Bermuda only. I look forward to being there for 3 days straight. If you've never been there, you should go. :)
I have so many pictures! I will post them randomly. I have created a movie, but it's too large to post, so I have to have hubby split it, and then I'll post it. :)
I hope everyone out there is happy, healthy and fine. And a smile is planted on your face while reading this post~
