What a week aboard the Carnival Valor! We were thirty-seven in our group, almost evenly matched in dance leaders to followers! So many of us have been together on cruises in the past that the day of embarkation is a grand reunion of friends. And then there are new friends to get to know. This time we hale from California, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio, Maryland, Vermont, and Massachusetts as well as Florida and North Carolina. We had a great time dancing aboard ship, exploring in Puerto Plata, St Thomas, San Juan, and Grand Turk. We found geocaches in two ports, checked out world famous banana daiquiris, partied at Margaritaville, had several satisfying meetings of the Mojitos, and had a great time. Now we’ve had some wonderful goodbye hugs and have made plans for some mid-year visits. Now it’s time to disembark and face the chilly weather and the world awaiting us.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
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.
