We arrived in Colón, Panama pretty early but our tour of the Panama Canal didn\’t begin until 8:30 when we were to meet our bus on the pier. We climbed onto the large air-conditioned bus with 40 other

We had another day at sea after Colombia and we took it easy… really easy. We checked email then spent the day reading books (writing this awesome content for you guys) and taking naps. The great part

As the sun began to set we went out on the balcony to watch the city lights come on across the bay. The main part of the city is very impressive from a distance and probably has some nicer areas that we

As we sat on the bench we noticed some workers removing some fake trees with yellow plastic leaves and little flowers with lights in them We think they were probably Christmas decorations for the entrance

As we headed into the Old CIty we decided to split from Aiofe and Lee and meet back in 2 hours to share a cab back to the ship. We walked through a few small shops full of junk and decided that shopping

We didn\’t arrive in Cartageña, Colombia until noon so we spent the morning checking email and trying to find something on the internet that would tell us what we should do in Cartageña. The internet

We woke up early and not just because the room was moving with the waves but because we had a huge breakfast buffet waiting for us. It was nearly endless, there is no way you could go hungry at this buffet

We woke up at 5:30 am to finish packing and get ready for our four hour drive to Miami where our ship was waiting. Goblin has little interest in moving at all at 5:xx am and I am the same way. We both

Almost a year ago we booked a cruise on the Jewel of the Seas. Teresa, our cruise agent, sent us a list of cruises and deals she had found and out of the few that she told us about we chose this one because

We caught I-75 in Albany and headed South, in all of the years I can remember driving this stretch of highway I can\’t remember a single time that it wasn\’t under construction. Either the State of Georgia

We all woke up hungry and ready to get moving. The showers at the campground were all under construction so no showers for us. We also discovered our tent was covered in sugar ants, they were inside and
