My best friends and I decided to celebrate our birthdays by taking a cruise to the Carribean. We decided on Celebrity Cruise Lines and booked through Cruise Holidays here in Calgary. Amazing service by the way for anyone looking to book.
We flew to Dallas and then to Ft Lauderdale. Boarded the beautiful boat. Quite upscale and very large. Set sail for St Thomas and after 2 days at sea, I was glad to see some land. Andrea at Cruise Holidays had set up our tours for us. For a fraction more in cost (I mean 10-15 dollars/person), we had a private tour on all 5 islands we stopped at. Private air conditioned car and we stopped wherever we wanted to. It was amazing. Made the whole trip 1000% better. THANKS ANDREA!!!
Had stops in St Lucia,...

Day 3 - Dec 5, 2009 - Casa Guatemala Orphanage
We had an inspiring day at the Casa Guatemala Orphanage. Following a rushed breakfast we boarded the boat that would take us to the orphanage at 7:30am. It was a leisurly 20 minute boat ride that hugged the shoreline eastwards along the inlet. Our boat driver was taking his time and did not pick up the pace until 10 minutes into the trip when one of his friends tried zipping past us. This gave him the incentive to show his friend what his motor could do and shortened our trip to Casa Guatemala by at least ten minutes.
