It’s now a well established tradition for us. Once a year, usually in January, we travel with a group of friends on a Caribbean cruise. We are mostly swing dancers and spend several days together exploring the ship and the various ports as well as finding as many opportunities as possible to dance together. This year we sailed out of Tampa at sunset on the Carnival Legend. An extra treat this year was that newly graduated CJ was able to come with us a a guest of cousin Oscar.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
