Tampa FL, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel, Mexico. It is here that I declared, I must do this again! LOL. And tell yourself again and again, you deserve this and then do it!After years of classroom teaching, allowing myself and others to spoil the plans, it was the best reward from my years of school, work, personal tragedies, etc. And it was money well spent. Just tell me this, have you ever went on vacation and felt like you were never going to get to do everything even if you drank coffee, popped no-dozes, and put toothpicks in your eyelids?
Well, their itinerary read like a darn yellow pages. And every night after tickling the cute little 'towel animals' left on the bed, my sister Pam and I took turns reading the next days list of events. And we both agreed there were not enough hours to do all this...thus we would never get bored.
To some tourists, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico were the highlights...and they were eventful for newbies to the cruising like myself. However, the crew aboard Carnival Inspiration were the best!
After departing and returning to our first port of call, Tampa, FL , before Pam and I made our 200th purchase (to buy what I don't know) we took a seat at the airport's TGIFs for a quick bite to eat. It was then I realized...the vacation was definitely over. (This waiter doesn't place napkins in patron's laps!)
Yes...back to reality! But the dream was more than I could have ever hoped for. The weather was hot, I am still sporting a bathing suit tan, and enjoying the memories, sharing them with anyone who dares to ask!
