travel & vacations

Some people spend their money on stuff. We save our cash and we spend it on travel. We travel, no not to excess or an extraordinary amount, but consistently and as often as we can find the time. And usually I log those travels in various ways here on this blog. What we’ve done, where we’ve been, and what we’ve seen… it all lands here in some form or another.

Cruise Gallery Part 2: Shots of Stuff

Back in November, about a month ago now, we were on board the Liberty of the Seas, a mega-sized cruise ship sailing around the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea.

While I wrote a couple quick posts about the experience shortly after our return, until now I’ve neglected to share any of the photos of our trip. Thus…

Stuff All Aboard

Between the lazier moments of our days on ship, amongst the comings and goings, departures, arrivals, and paused moments watching from the various decks of our floating hotel, I attempted to freeze frame a moment here or there to remember it all by. A view of the sea or the sun, a glimpse of the dock, a distant gaze upon an island shore, all of them taunting us towards a deeper adventure for another trip.

Stuff From Ashore

When we did escape, the scenes of our excursions are marked by a theme of tropical escapism. A mix of a brush with culture or another kind of more literal submersion in something equally unfamiliar to a curious land-locked Canadian.

Us All Aboard

It would take a few thousand words per photo to adequately describe our little adventure. Needless to say, we filled a week at sea with a plethora of lazy activities on ship and ashore. We ate, relaxed, played games, tried sports, met interesting people, and posed for a lot of photos in front of photogenic scenes.

Us Underwater

With a brand new waterproof camera in hand, a large collection of underwater photos was inevitable. We went on two very different snorkeling adventures in two very different countries. I swam through coral reefs, fought the tide, swam from shore, dove off the back of a boat, and filmed much of it. I also took a pretty awesome collection of photos of the Kid as she practiced her maturing water skills.
