Christmas Cruise

We won a "free" cruise by sharing a real estate post so frequently I think I lost friends and followers. The cruise is free, except for the flight, the hotel the night before, the excursions, and the room upgrade. The free room was a small room with bunk beds. Nuh-uh. We paid for a larger room with a balcony. That was absolutely worth it!

We had the choice of going on the Ensenada cruise again (a vacation Matt bought for our honeymoon, but we didn't use it until the next year) or the Caribbean. To the Atlantic we went!

To make sure we wouldn't miss the boat, we decided to fly in the night before and get a hotel. We'll never again book the cheapest hotel we can find. It was scary and dirty. We slept with our shoes on and I kept my hearing aids in.

On top of that, the flight lost our luggage. We bought a few necessities, and visited the everglades in the previous day's clothes. Eugh. It was still fun to see the alligators! Luckily we had our camera as a carry on. Our luggage made it to us the just in time to catch the cruise.
