Just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas,Grand Cayman and Key West(we were supposed to go to Cozumel but the ships captain couldn't get in the harbor even though there were other ships docked there(they got there earlier than we did but the currents were making them slip off their moorings.Yikes.)

Frankly speaking, it's one of my dreams! Cruise is the most wonderful way of travelling for me! :happy spin:

Very interesting place. Boats, large cruise ships barely fit. I think the maximum size of some cruise ships are dictated by the Panama Canal. Very cool trip.
Can we join your family? you guys go to the best places :)

Talking of direct flights, EasyJet are finally launching a direct route from Bristol to Athens on November 6th. A bit too late for our recent holiday, but useful for future visits.

Southwest is on my list..On the way to Oklahoma City I was stranded in Las Vegas for HOURS because of what was being called “mechanical failure” but I am 100 percent sure is related to the news anymore. Did make it to Oklahoma City..midnight-ish their time. :picard:
