Yep, I'm finally getting around to blogging again. I've been meaning to get to it all week, but the slide back to reality has been pretty bumpy! Plus, and several of you have already heard me whine about this, it's COLD, really COLD in Iowa, and I'm not ready for it yet!
So, I promised I would blog about the week aboard the Disney Magic. But first, a word about hurricane season.
Let me explain a little about why hurricane season is important.......we tend to vacation during the late summer/fall months, for a variety of reasons. One, it is difficult for me to get time off from the library during the summer (we'll save that for another blog), and two, it tends to be less expensive to travel then, and of course, it is less crowded. All good reasons to travel during hurricane season, especially to coastal areas, right? Even if it is hurricane season.......
We've always been ridiculously lucky when traveling this time of year as well......and until last year, we were batting a thousand. Four years ago we traveled to Key West the week after one hurricane and the week before another. Three years ago we traveled to Texas right after Hurricane Katrina and before another hurricane hit Galveston. Two years ago we traveled to Puerta Vallarta right after a typhoon hit there. You see the trend........
This year, our hurricane dodging skills were absent. Of course, in the middle of November, the hurricane season is usually about over. Not this time! We were supposed to cruise to St. Maarten and St. Thomas, but this time a hurricane changed our course. We ended up cruising to Cozumel and Costa Maya.
Our vacation week started on an adventurous note! To be continued....
