In record time (for me), I’ve managed to upload photos from our most recent trip:
Western Caribbean (November, 2011) — 6 day Western Caribbean cruise (Ft. Lauderdale roundtrip), aboard RCI’s Navigator of the Seas.

We’ve done this yearly since 2009, skipping 2010 because Libby was too far along in her pregnancy to cruise. In fact, we were aboard Navigator in ‘09 for a four-day sailing to Cozumel, Mexico. This year, we’ll be [...]
