It’s hard to believe our vacation was already over a month ago.
I have finally unpacked the suitcase.
For real.
Um, just yesterday.
A few astute readers guessed that we were on a cruise, and we were. Cruising is one of my go-to vacations because it requires very little thought. I don’t need to worry about how we’re going to get to our destinations, where we’re going to eat, how much everything is going to cost … it’s all taken care of. And I love that. Because sometimes the logistics of planning a vacation can seem challenging, especially if I’m doing it all by myself.
This was my sixth cruise, Nick’s fifth, and Madeline’s second. All with Royal Caribbean. We have gone out of three different ports, and my favorite is leaving from NJ/NY. Because the vacation starts right away. Although leaving from other ports opens us up to more varied itineraries, I don’t want to lose a day on either end because we have to fly to a new port.
At least not now.
This was a new itinerary for us, with two stops in the Bahamas (one in Nassau and one in Coco Cay, Royal Caribbean’s private island), and one in Port Canaveral. Three days where the ship is docked, four days at sea. It’s a pretty sweet balance between being active and completely inactive.
