  • Traveled to Cancun

    Traveled to Cancun

    By: Cece Hymes

    I had a chance to go to Cancun with some friends. I had a great time. I love beaches and the beach there was so nice. I know I don’t speak their language, so some things were hard to understand from some people that we met there. We did get a chance to meet some people from Canada which was nice, and we still keep in touch with them. When we went to Cancun we got on the ATV, Ziplining, and we also jumped in the cave. I can’t remember what kind of cave it was, but it was cold and deep and kind of scary.

    Let me tell you the story, so this was my first time on the ATV. I didn’t think to look at the gas engine, but I was in the middle of woods following everyone and I was towards the back, and it ran out of gas. OMG lol. I was glad it was 2 people behind me that waited until someone came back to help me. Now that was a moment. We also got a chance to eat at the different restaurants on the resort and go out to the club they had. It was a mixture of different people from all over the world. I was glad to have some friends that are adventurous and don’t mind trying new things.  It did rain one time out there, but we still enjoyed the resort. The beach was relaxing but there were a lot of different animals that I never saw before coming up trying to get food.

    This vacation was much needed, and I would love to go back and see more of their country. Such an experience.

  • Traveled to Grand Turk, Turk, Bahamas, DR, Amber Cove and Half Moon Cay

    My second cruise I went on was with Carnival. The First one was Royal, this one was with Carnival. I think Carnival is more of a fun ship. Royal is laid back like a family ship. On this cruise we went on a tour. The camels were out walking up to us lol. The water was beautiful, and it was hot. I couldn’t enjoy the trip like I wanted to because of the company I had with me. Sometimes you have to take trips with people you know that like some of the things you like and want to have fun. I relaxed and just enjoyed the water.

    I always take a trip on my birthday to go somewhere different. Cruises are fun but I actually love going to the resort. Once I am on the boat after a couple days I be wanting to be off the water. Don’t get me wrong, on cruises you do have things to do. We watched the game shows, played games with others, and we also went to the casino on the boat. You know I always get souvenirs because it’s cheaper and the money is different.  I know it is hot over there, but the beach is very beautiful.

    Make sure you take them on vacations and enjoy life. I know carnival is more like a party cruise and royal more laid back but they both are fun and it’s nice to see the different places, they have an island where it seems like it’s just for the tourists. On the Island it had volleyball, water events like snorkeling and canoeing. If you have never been on a Cruise, you have to experience it at least once. They are making new ships with more on it to do and more fancy. Can’t wait to see what these new ships look like.

     

    Have you been on Cruise? How was your experience? Which cruise line did you go on?

  • Icon Park & Cocoa Beach in Orlando Fl

    Icon Park & Cocoa Beach in Orlando FL

    I had a chance to go with my family for my birthday to Orlando Fl. We got a chance to go to Cocoa Beach and it was a nice day out about an hour drive from the resort we stayed at. I didn’t know we had to go through so many tolls but once we got there it was so nice. The waves, the relaxation, the view and the best part it wasn’t crowded. The waves were hitting great and it wasn’t hot it was just right. We had a great time. I love the water and it’s just so peaceful to hear the waves look up at the sky and feel the breeze. I know I got a little tan, but it was very relaxing and nice.

    We also had a chance to go to Icon Park where it is a tourist attraction. It has different little stores, gift shops, Ice cream parlors and more. It’s a nice little park to chill and relax and just walk around. Get some Cotton Candy, eat and spend time with family and friends. First time here and I enjoyed it.

    Had a nice trip and can’t wait to go back and experience more of what Orlando has to offer. Had a great time.

    Let me know some of your experiences in Orlando FL.

  • Hilton Orlando Resort in Orlando FL

    Hilton Orlando Resort in Orlando FL

    My family and I took a vacation for my birthday to the Hilton Orlando Resort in Orlando Fl. It was a nice resort. It had different eating places inside, a spa, fitness and outside pool. We went just in time before the storm so the weather was nice and sunny. The best part was that they had an adult section with the hot tubs and pool, they had a pool with a kids slide, two other hot tubs and a lazy river. I love the water. It wasn’t crowded, it was just right. So relaxing it was so much needed. We stayed in the pool. The stay was great and we enjoyed it. They had everything you needed right there at the resort. They had basketball courts and tennis courts. It was filled with things to do.

    So, if you are looking for a place to stay while in Orlando Fl this is the spot. It’s not far from Icon park, Sea world and a lot of other nice places to go.

    Glad to have gone to Orlando FL with the family for vacation. It was a great stay. Make sure to check them out. 

  • Clearwater Beach FL

    Clearwater Beach FL

    By: Cece Hymes

    This was the first time I been to Clearwater beach Fl. It was a Birthday Trip/Vacation. It was much needed. The water was so beautiful the weather was nice. I wish I would have stayed a little longer. We were able to do a couple of events on our short trip.

    We experience the Encounters with the Dolphins. We were able to see the Mama and baby dolphin just out of the water a couple of times which was amazing. It was nice to here about the different people that owned the beach houses and mansions. The Tour Guide was amazing and was a comedian which made the ride very much better. We stopped at a small island just to relax and enjoy the sight-seeing. A lot of great Seashells so pretty. We really enjoyed this.

    The next experience we did was the Escape Room on Clearwater Beach. Now this was great, it makes it better when you have a group. We did the Davinci Exhibit room. It was hard but we got through it. You get an hour to try to open up on the locks. This was really a fun game. We had 5 people and it feels like are we smarter than an 8th greater we all were lost sometimes like what. We got more clues than we needed but hey sometimes you gotta do what you got to do.

    We enjoyed the Live music at Shephard’s Beach hotel. The food was great, the drinks were on point and the music was really fun. It felt good outside just to be able to relax and enjoy some great music with a mixed crowd. This was really nice.

    This trip was much needed cant wait to go back it was some other things I would love to try and enjoy. Make sure to check out Clearwater beach a lot of things to do whether you with friends or family very relaxing.
