From Iceland we flew to Copenhagen, Denmark. What a beautiful city! We took a stroll through the GORGEOUS Nyhavn Harbor. This was absolutely breathtaking, so many colors and so much to look at. We then continued our stroll down the main shopping district. There was always something to look at with all the shops, people, and entertainers. One of my all-time favorite movies is The Little Mermaid. Copenhagen has a beautiful Little Mermaid Statue. I made Judd walk miles while carrying luggage ...

I really need to do a better job at keeping this updated! I’ve mentioned before that my husband and I have a passion for traveling, in just a few years we’ve been to 30+ countries.

Southern Caribbean Cruise
Here is Part 2/2 about our most recent vacation. We went on a 7 night cruise through the southern Caribbean (Carnival Valor was the cruise boat).

It reminded me of Europe with a Caribbean flare. After the cruise we stayed a couple more days in San Juan at the Caribe Hilton. This resort was right ...
Learn to Love Cruising
Hey there! I decided to write my first blog post about something I have a BIG passion for... traveling. I was lucky to grow up with a family who went on vacation every summer and usually took another one or two trips a year, I saw a lot as a child. Thanks Mom and Dad!
