Adult Spring Break

Do you know the song, “Kokomo,” written by the Beach Boys? Well, that was one of my favorite songs as a child (so was pretty much everything else sang by the beach boys). Every time that song would play, I would think to myself, “I want to go down to Kokomo.” So, I decided that I would visit all of the places named in that song.  Beach trips are my favorite, and they just so happen to all be tropical locales.

Craig and I went to Jamaica (this is listed in the song) in June 2010 for our honeymoon. It was the last vacation that we had just the two of us. So, for our 3rd year anniversary, we wanted just the two of us to go somewhere. We already have a family vacation planned in June, and I don’t get much time off from work. We had to make this work. Fortunately for me and my bucket list, we decided to go to another destination listed in the song. We are going to BERMUDA! But the even better news is, that we don’t have to wait until the end of May. We will be leaving in 12 days. YEP! 12 DAYS!!!

We literally just booked this trip a week ago. I was just searching around for vacations and cruises and found a great deal that we couldn’t refuse. We put in for vacation and after a brief yet stressful waiting period, we were approved for time off and booking occurred within minutes. We are flying out of Mobile and are headed to the NYC, where we will board our vessel, the Carnival Splendor, and set sail towards Bermuda. I can't wait to put my feet in the pink sands, swim in the crystal blue waters, snorkel in the reefs, and tour the island. 
I know what you’re thinking. “Carnival? Are you crazy?” Well, the way I see it, if something happens while in Bermuda, oh darn… I have to stay in paradise a few extra days. Or, if something happens while out to sea, oh darn… I have to miss work a few more days and will likely get another cruise and maybe some other free shit. So please, keep your negative comments to yourself because we are super excited. Hopefully, I will post shortly after our trip with highlights. Everyone have a great spring break! We sure will!
Cheers!
