Okay, welcome back! I'm still off in the Caribbean, sailing around on a floating city. This is actually my fourth cruise, third one with boyfriend. The remaining cruise? I took that one with WildeMom!
A few years back, WildeMom and I descended on Florida from our northern locations of Buffalo and Madison. We sailed out of the port of Fort Lauderdale to celebrate WildeMoms 50th birthday! The plan was just two crazy girls, living it up on the high seas! And that's just what happened.
We walked around Old San Juan and dodged random cloudbursts in the fort. Trolling through the city we enjoyed creamy gelato and warm weather. We faced the ocean on St Maarten and someone was smarter than I and stayed in the shallow end. Truth be told, I'm pretty sure the ocean was trying to drown me. We kayaked through a mangrove forest on St Thomas and cheered on a hermit crab during a race. We even managed to hit the ships gym every morning and I made friends with the fitness coordinator onboard.
It was a fantastic trip for both my mom and I. We never had, and haven't since, had so much time to spend together. A whole week of mother-daughter bonding time. Lots of time to relax together.
Travelling with boyfriend is nothing like travelling with WildeMom (as you could have guessed from Tuesdays post!), but tomorrow I can have a direct comparison. Tomorrow our ship docks in St Thomas after a full day at sea. How will my day on St Thomas compare with the day spent with WildeMom? I'll let you know next week, along with the winner of the candy giveaway!
