The CK Daily – Cruisin’ through the 4th
Good morning!
What a week! On Saturday, I got off the most amazing cruise and I was riding that post-vacation high for as long as I could! We made stops in Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Castaway Cay, and each day was packed with something exciting.
In Cozumel, we went to a lucha libre wrestling show, which was just as wild and entertaining as it sounds. Then we kayaked through the Mangroves in Grand Cayman and got some delicious gelato as a treat. Our last excursion was exploring some interesting caves in Jamaica.
Our last stop was Castaway Cay, and it ended up being the perfect last day of the cruise. My boyfriend and I kicked it off like we always do, by running the Castaway Cay 5K on the island. It was super hot while we ran but we got to change quick and jump in the water to cool off before spending the rest of the day lounging on the beach.
The best part was that we went over Fourth of July week! It still felt like a party in the USA, even though we were technically in international waters. We got all dressed up for dinner that night and then watched the fireworks show on the top deck. Disney Cruise Line is one of the few (if not the only) cruise lines that is allowed to shoot fireworks at sea, and we got to see two shows while onboard! It was so special to see them both, especially on the holiday.
It was such a special week with my boyfriend and his family. I’m so grateful for trips like this, where I relax with them and run around every day! I’m glad to be back to routine and work but I can’t wait until my next adventure!
