If anyone advises you to steer clear of water parks in December, don't listen. Even after we arrived in Orlando, we still weren't sure we'd make it to Volcano Bay. There was lots of rain in the forecast and the temps for our days there were highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s.… Continue reading Universal Orlando Resort – Volcano Bay

Universal Orlando Resort – Islands of Adventure
Remember how I mentioned I'd post my Islands of Adventure post tomorrow? Let's pretend the whole concept of time being a figment of our imagination applies to January as well. Ha! Over in Islands of Adventure, the areas are divided into mythical lands featuring superheroes, beasts, and magical creatures. It seemed to storm every time… Continue reading Universal Orlando Resort – Islands of Adventure
Universal Orlando Resort – Universal Studios
I can't tell you how many times I sat down to write this series on Universal Orlando Resort. Where has the month of January gone?! In any event, we went to Universal Orlando Resort in the days between Christmas and New Year when the concept of time is but a figment of our imagination. We… Continue reading Universal Orlando Resort – Universal Studios
Happy Christmas!
Just popping in to wish everyone a Happy Christmas! The kids were up at the crack of dawn naturally. We switched up our four gift rule this year. Instead of something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read, we did something to play with, visit someplace new, support a charity, volunteer… Continue reading Happy Christmas!
Post Cruise – Disney
I hope you enjoyed my recap of our Royal Caribbean eight-night western Caribbean cruise. We returned to Ft. Lauderdale on December 30th. We said goodbye to my parents and brother, and my mother-in-law, as they made their way back to the airport for their own long journey home. The night before, the DH and I… Continue reading Post Cruise – Disney
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Days 7 & 8 – Sea Days
There were still so many things we wanted to do on board Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas, we were looking forward to two sea days. First up, The Perfect Storm - three stories of twists and turns to the bottom of dual-racer slides Typhoon and Cyclone. This was by far Stinky and Blinky's favorite,… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Days 7 & 8 – Sea Days
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 6 – St. Kitts & Mt. Liamuiga
Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so that you can see the world, not so the world can see you.David McCullough Jr. The DH and I saw the Mt. Liamuiga hike months ago when we began looking at excursions.… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 6 – St. Kitts & Mt. Liamuiga
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 5 – St. Martin and Maho Beach
Aren't you proud of my four posts in a row? I had every intention of keeping the momentum going for all eight days, but then life happened. Anyway, I'm back today with a recap of Day 5. After a wonderful day in Puerto Rico, we woke up the next morning in St. Martin. It was… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 5 – St. Martin and Maho Beach
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 4 – San Juan – Christmas Day
Did I forget to tell you that Odette found us in the middle of the Atlantic? Alas, she would say her goodbye on Christmas Day, but she brought Stinky and Blinky joy for a few days every time they returned to the cabin and found her in a new pose. Blinky and I were up… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 4 – San Juan – Christmas Day
Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 3 – Sea Day – Christmas Eve
We had three sea days on this sailing which made the DH a little nervous. He wondered if there would be sufficient activities to entertain our diverse party of eight. Having recently completed Royal Caribbean University, I knew we'd be just fine. The Cruise Compass (daily planner) seemed to overflow with activities. However, the kids… Continue reading Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas Day 3 – Sea Day – Christmas Eve
