How long until retirement??

Loving your planned holidays, sounds fun!

Which caribbean islands will you be visiting?

Almost five years I suspect!

Bahamas, St Martin, St Kitts, I think, we have not settled on one definitiely yet.

The planning is all part of the fun.

Has anyone been to the Azores? It's on our shortlist for next year. Meanwhile, Spain Cornwall and New York to look forward to before the end of the year:)

On a cruise years ago ......left an impression of rain forest and a very strong sulphur smell.

It's worth checking the cruise port programmes before booking a holiday to one of the smaller islands [which most are].

On Thomson Celebration, a small ship with a maximum of 1,265 passengers, we visited Antigua, St Maarten, Tortola, St Kitts, and Dominica.

We only really enjoyed Antigua, and the reason for that was that we were the only cruise ship visiting that day, and the Island's infrastructure could easily cope with a few hundred visitors.

But at the other 4 ports there were also either one or two of the mega cruise ships in addition to Thomson Celebration.

The sheer numbers from big ships that descend on these small islands spoil the occasion, and all the popular venues are swamped.

During the busy Caribbean cruising season there won't be many days when there won't be one or two of these mega ships alongside or at anchor.

Yes, I'm aware of sulphur near volcanoes, I am a geologist.

Just though a bit of levity might be nice, and potentially not inaccurate given its a cruise.
