San Diego Madness

Well this was it, our final destination, probably a few of the busiest days we had, we even managed to do a deal of sight seeing in between our shopping trips to the mall.
Sea World was as awesome as last time, although this time we actually got to "Dine with Shamu". Highlight of Sea World was definitely the orca show, although the Dolphin's and the Sea Lion Rescue was pretty cool too as well as the surprising Sesame Street 4D show it was a wet one.
San Diego Wild Life Park was fantastic! We saw several short shows, before our 3 hour safari which was lead by Koby and Jamie, two tour guides that were a bunch of laughs. We got to feed the Giraffes and feed and pat the rhino's all very cool!
Our last touristy destination was the USS Midway Naval Carrier, which was a definite treat for Weggie, although there was a distinct lack of uniformed sailors... though there was a rather attractive young man who ran the flight simulator... note to self, never go on a flight simulator again... spinning upside down and nose dives are not as fun as they look!

Caribbean Cool - To Key-Weird

A very very very relaxing time had on the Caribbean Cruise of doing basically nothing, which was cool.
Taz did her Karaoking to much applause, while I partook in drinking many cocktails, that were quite yum.
San Juan we went on a lovely sunset cruise on a Catamaran minus the sunset but with lots of lovely people to talk too.
St Maarten, very hot, would have liked to be able to shop longer, but sadly because of Carnival shops closed at 2pm, beautiful blue water to admire.
Labadee, or Labadabadee as the Captain called it was a very beautiful tropical setting that was right out of the movies, and the perfect location for floating in the warm ocean whilst sipping on rum slushies. And yes, Taz did drink the alcohol... all praise Rum!
Key West or Key Weird as the locals call it had a very funky vibe and we would definitely like to go there again one day.
They also have some very macabre history we found out when we went on a ghost tour, which was much better than the one we went to in Montreal in 2006.
Coming next, our very last port of call... San Diego
