Bahamas!

I went on a cruise with my sister. We worked out for my parents to watch my kids so that Scott could keep working. She does not have a significant other to go with her. So, she invited me! We went out of Miami and visited the Bahamas. We went kayaking, snorkeling, and went to Atlantis. I loved all that we did on the shore. We did a spa treatment on the cruise ship. My sister even humored me and we went to the gym a couple of days It's amazing how much easier it is to run at sea level!

We were able to eat dinner with the captain and one other crew member. Somehow we were picked out as one of the 3 "couples" to eat with them. The captain was surprised to hear that we're sisters and that we actually wanted to go on a trip together. I don't know why that's surprising! I love spending time with my siblings. I loved being able to spend some one-on-one time with my sister who lives a few states away. I loved having a break from reality. 

My thoughts on a cruise are that I would do it again. I enjoyed seeing snippets of cool places. I'll never have the money to really give each location its due, so this is a way to see at least a bit of it. However, I don't know if I would have paid to do all of Atlantis, because I didn't have TIME to do all of Atlantis. So, for next time, I would pick something that I felt was more appropriate for the allotted time. The cruise ship itself was fine. Not spectacular. Kind of like a cheap Las Vegas hotel on the water. So, since I don't drink, I don't gamble, and I don't watch "adult" shows, we pretty much were out of stuff to do by 10:30 at night. Oh, except sleep. I do enjoy a good night's sleep.

I'm not sure it's obvious we're sisters. The two of us are not that similar looking.
