It's a Day at Sea! July 25, 2019

-
Today we have our second and last day at sea! It's always one of those days where I feel like I want to relax, but at the same time, on a ship like the Symphony of the Seas, there is just so much to see and do, I want to see and do it all! It's a vacation struggle! :) 

 As we did on our other mornings, Keith and I had breakfast in the Solarium Bistro. We really enjoyed dining there. I'm pretty sure we had breakfast there every morning.  After breakfast we went straight to the pool and found some chairs and we were set for a few hours!

My parents went to the Central Park tour. Keith and I had done this when we sailed on the Allure and we really enjoyed it. It's a tour where you learn all about how they keep the center of the ship, the Central Park, a living, green garden area on a ship! It's pretty amazing! 

 It wasn't long before Alex joined us and he found it to be a great time to head to the water slides before they got too crowded.








For lunch today the kids, Keith and I had arranged to do a Sushi Making Class!  This was really a lot of fun, and we got to eat what we made! 



These are are ingredients all lined up and ready to go!

 The finished product! They turned out really well!

We spent the rest of the afternoon at the pool. Before dinner the kids and I walked around the ship taking some pictures since we hadn't really had much time to do that yet! Here we were almost at our last day and we haven't even really seen most of the ship yet! We started at the top, the sports deck and really didn't get much farther than that because it was just so beautiful up there! The sun was setting and the view out over the ocean was gorgeous!
















The Windjammer is the buffet - and it has some nice decor!



These are musical steps! When you step on them the piano plays!

 After dinner in the Main Dining Room we went to see Flight. This was a really great show! Quite a production!













 We walked back to our cabin through Central Park. It's always so beautiful at night!




We had a great day at sea! Tomorrow is our last day, Cococay! We were definitely looking forward to that!

San Pedro, hustle and bustle!

Ambergris Caye…it’s an interesting place to be! As I mentioned in some previous posts, we chose a resort to the north of the town of San Pedro. Portofino is only accessible by water taxi and it’s about a fifteen minute boat ride to get there. But when you get into the heart of the island the pace of life picks up. It’s still a sleepy island town by all means. But there’s much more hustle and bustle! The first thing we noticed was the primary means of transportation are golf carts. There’s a few taxi vans, but most people are driving golf carts. This is certainly unique! There’s a certain charm about this for sure. Our main reasons for going into town were to get to the dive shops, but that only brought us to the docks…to eat lunch and dinner once or twice and the obligatory souvenir shopping. We didn’t get a chance to really see any of the other hotels in the area. In my obsessive research before the trip, there were quite a few that looked nice, but now that I was there I

You'd better Belize it!

That's right - Belize.  The first question so many people would ask was, where's Belize? They hadn't even heard of the country!  This was common I found because Belize was formerly known as British Honduras and didn't change it's name until 1973.  The second question I was asked was why do you want to go to Belize?  Belize suddenly began popping up to me in my obsessive travel research about two years ago.  I had been planning our second trip to Costa Rica and kept seeing great travel information about Belize and of course I wanted to see what was the big draw!  K and I have been to Mexico several times and had been to Costa Rica once previously and since I was planning our second trip to Costa Rica I kept Belize in the back of my mind for a future trip.  I started to do some research and found Belize has the second largest barrier reef in the world!  Now that's something!  Neither K nor I dive, but we both enjoy snorkeling so right there that was a great opp

A Beautiful Morning

Imagine opening your eyes and seeing this.... Imagine that! I woke up early one morning and pulled back the cotton curtains to see if the sun had risen up above the sea yet, and this was what greeted me. I just had to grab my camera! I went out on our porch and sat there just in awe of the beauty of the place we were. How lucky we were to be here! How lucky to experience such beauty! I snapped a picture with my cell phone to send home to the kids. I wished they were here to share this moment with me. There were so many parts of this adventure that they would love, and yet so many parts that would be enjoyed so much more in a few more years. The timing just wasn’t quite right yet. I enjoyed this amazing sunrise alone…I didn’t wake up K yet. He wouldn’t quite appreciate the beauty of it the way I did. He was sound asleep still. He’d enjoy it in a picture. For me, my day was already perfect.
