• BOBSLED JAMAICA & DUNNS RIVER FALLS

    I try to do some shore excursions when I take cruises. This was my first time in OCHO RIOS JAMAICA. We were in OCHO RIOS for 8 hours of fun. I found this excursion through carnival cruiseline that consisted of 3 adventures- a skylift, bobsledding, and a river falls. We also were able to see some of the country side while traveling to the location. When arriving at our location we had to take a skylift to the bobsled. The views from up high were awesome. Bobsledding is a popular excursion in Ocho Rios. This stems from the Olympics. This is somewhat like a mountain coaster. It was lots of…

  • DOLLYWOOD

    Dollywood is my favorite theme park. Its located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. They have 7 rollercoasters. My favorite one was the Lightning Rod. The Lightning Rod opened last year and had many problems so now it is closed til next season. It was the fastest wooden launch rollercoasters in the world. My next favorite is the Eagle. It’s a very smooth loop coaster. I hope you have on your walking shoes today because you will do lots of walking. Here are some walking shoes you may like if you are in need of some. Dollywood has some smaller rides for kids and 2 water rides. They also have a few…

  • Chankanaab National Park in Cozumel, Mexico

    This is one of the best excursions I have experienced. In researching things to do in Cozumel I found Chankanaab National Park. When I saw their dolphin excursion I knew I wanted to do this one. I swam with the dolphins  a couple of years ago but not in Cozumel. Also this park has a lot to offer for the price. They have swimming with dolphins and manatees, soaring through the air on a zip line, kayaking,  a sea lion show, crocodile farm, archeological path of sculptures and botanical gardens with 350 species of plants. They also have underwater Christ and Virgin sculptures for diving, scuba, sea trec, and snorkeling…

    Fall is in the air. This is the first cool weekend we’ve had in central Florida this year. It was the perfect time for a HOT AIR BALLOON ride whether you are an enthusiast or just curious like me. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. This is a 3 day event at Blue Jacket Park in Baldwin Park here in Orlando. It starts at 5pm each day til 9:30pm and at 8:00 some of the balloons glow for a short time. The event has a few vendors, food trucks, and a kids zone with even a pony ride. One thing they need more of is restrooms.…

  • MANASOTA BEACH COTTAGES

    Last weekend we had a spur of the moment idea to go to the beach. To our disappointment all of the hotel rooms on the beach in the area we wanted to stay were already booked. We were going stay in Venice and drive back and forth when we thought about this small place on the left just before going over the bridge at Manasota Beach. We went to our maps to figure out the name of this place and looked them look online. It said Saturday was available but not Friday and they have a 3 night minimum. The next morning we called them. By this time we were…
