What a Cruise!

Family

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.

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history.
