Cruisin'




I cruised off to the Caribbean as the snow fell here in Indiana. I visited Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico. It was a welcome break from the cold!

Clouds look so cool from above, don't they? Taken from the plane, somewhere over Georgia, I think.






We set sail in the late afternoon, giving us a gorgeous sunset view of the Sunshine

Skyway Bridge in Tampa Bay, Florida

We passed under the bridge with only a ten foot clearance for our ship!



If you have never seen this bridge, it's quite a sight to see!

I have never driven over it, only sailed under it.

This is a view of the bridge as we approached it from the Carnival Inspiration on our way out of port
at sunset.






Ten feet!
These are the feet of my sisters and me, all wearing matching toenail polish!This was taken on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman. This was the day we got 16 inches of snow back home!





A pretty rainbow at sea












The Carnival Inspiration, docked in Cozumel, Mexico












The "Three Amigos" cantina in Cozumel, patterned after the movie that starred Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short







Inspiration passengers as they walked the dock back to the boat for the trip home. It was an incredible day!!



It was a trip I'll never forget. It was a "bonding time" with my 4 sisters, and was worth every penny!
