Vacation, Gotta Get Away!!

On May 31, we set sail for the Eastern Caribbean on the Norwegian Getaway. I didn't have high expectations, since the only other cruise I had been on, I spent two of the three days with the norovirus. I have to say, this was the absolute perfect vacation! The ship was beautiful, the ports of call were amazing, and seven days of relaxation was exactly what we needed! I highly recommend it, and we'll definitely be cruising again in the future!
 
 
We came prepared...with a case of wine!


Spice H2O, where we spent the majority of our time!





We tried escaping the safety drill...no such luck.

Bon Voyage!

South Beach

Out for a run on our first morning, and we saw this!


The ropes course! I can't believe I got Nick to do this! Windy, but fun! Well, aside from the plank...see below..
 







The Tropicana Room





Cookies and coffee in bed!




 The Illusionarium...a very cool dinner experience!






St. Martin...the closest to France I'll get for a while!








Philipsburg, St. Maarten...a Dutch territory



Guavaberry Daiquiris!









The plank....only 8 feet off the side of the ship, 18 stories high :) Yup, I did it.





Climbing up to Blackbeard's Castle on St. Thomas
