Upcoming Travels

Upcoming travel plans include a road trip and a cruise.

Road trip is from my home in Central Florida to Fort Lauderdale. I will cruise out of Port Everglades the following day, for a seven day cruise on Freedom of the Seas. This is my fifth Royal Caribbean cruise, and first on the Freedom or a ship that size, and first in a suite.

We have a junior suite on deck 9.

Our itinerary includes Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Costa Maya, and Cozumel, Mexico.

I will be posting daily minutia as well as the highlights of the trip. If you are just visiting for the pictures, I hope you enjoy.

The Beginning

In the beginning, a small town landlocked girl moved to Florida and discovered travel and photography.

My local and travel adventures have expanded enough that I want to share them with others, and this blog is born out of that desire.

I enjoy photography at local sites, on my property, and especially while traveling.
