5 Days

It's not that often that my husband and I can get away for a few days, so when we do we hit the ground running and get the heck out of dodge.  We only had 5 days to get away, but they were an amazing 5 days.  Our first stop was Miami where we stayed a lovely night in South Beach! We both have been to South Beach before, but never really had the chance to explore.  We enjoyed a lovely Cuban dinner and walked along the beach. I really wanted to get photos of the really cool art deco buildings, but the weather just didn't cooperate.  So after making a mad dash back to the hotel, we popped some popcorn and watched a video on Netflix.  The next morning we enjoyed a relaxing morning before boarding our Cruise.  I was a little bummed out because when we originally booked our Cruise we had chosen Cuba as one of the major destinations, but with the current sanctions, Americans are no longer allowed to visit.  The Cruise was wonderful in giving us a credit that we could use to book an excursion and replaced Cuba with Jamaica which I had also never been to.  I thought Atlanta was humid!  Jamaica to takes the cake on that one and I am not sure why I bothered doing my hair that day because withing minutes of being of the ship my hair fell completely flat and frizzy; however, Dunn Falls the beach and jerk chicken made up for it.  We spent two days at sea which we used to sleep in, read, and relax.  We don't get to do that very often. Our final destination was Grand Cayman.  My husband went on a wonderful scuba diving trip while I enjoyed the views of 7 mile Beach.  Like all good things they had to end and now I am ready for Christmas when we will all go on a cruise as a family.
