Spring Break 2012- All Aboard

This year for spring break I went on a cruise. The cruise left from New Orleans and stopped at three ports before returning to New Orleans. The cruise was a total of 6 days; 3 days at sea and 3 days at port. My favorite part of a cruise is the days at sea because I can relax all day and lay out in the sun.

 

The first port we stopped at was Cozumel, Mexico. At this port, my family and I went scuba diving.

The second port was Grand Cayman. Here we took a boat to a shallow sandbar, miles out into the ocean where there were hundreds of stingrays. We fed, pet and kissed the stingrays. It is said that if one kisses a stingray, it will bring them 7 years of good luck.

The third port was Jamaica. Jamaica is the home of the famous Dunns river falls. My family and I climbed over 900 ft up the falls.

Overall it was a great vacation. I was able to see some of my extended family that I usually don’t get to see a lot. Also, any excuse to leave the bipolar Michigan weather is okay with me.
