Cruising the Northern Caribbean

So this month Jared had a great opportunity to go on a Cruise with a friend of mine, Allen Kelly. The best part was that the trip was all paid for and Jared only had to find a way to Arazonia and back and he could get on the ship for a 7 day Cruise to the Northern Caribbean.

So he set off on the Cruise on the 10th and came back on the 17th. He visited the Grand Turk islands and the Cayman Islands. But they didnt make it to their first stop due to the weather conditions. There was snow in Florida and the the temperatures were really cold, even for the Caribbean.

After a few days out to sea, Haiti was hit with a 7.0 earthquake, sending large waves towards Jared and the ship, they didnt feel that much of a disturbance but there were alot of people that suffered with sea-sickness.

Jared said the best part about the cruise was the food and the service. The best food that he ever had and the service was great, but he always enjoyed it when people clean up after him.

He got me some beautiful pink pearls, a watch and jewelry to match. The jewelry was silver wit h these periwinkle purple diamonds , a necklace, earrings, and a ring with the diamonds to match. And the fave of the watch was the same color... Really pretty! He got me these on the Grand Turk island .

Then Jared headed to the Cayman Islands where he say the Mayan temples. He was super excited for that, after spending years watching anything on TV that had to do with Mayan's and their Temples.

Altogether he had a great time, but he missed us alot and spent alot of time with bad weather, he is hoping to go on another Cruise in the future but not anytime soon, perhaps when our kids are in College or something we might do that ... but we will see... I hate Ships.... Maybe a nice trip to England or Rome would be better!
