While in Nassau, it is a great time to get a rum cake (or at least get a free taste)! They come in different flavors like coconut, original, and chocolate. I try to bring one back with me when I can find one. You can order them online but shipping is just too expensive for me.
Need free WiFi? Hard Rock Cafe is minutes from the port and you can catch up on social media or email while there. But, as always, be careful with public WiFi. Senor Frogs, a restaurant and bar with a party atmosphere is also within walking distance from the ship. Even if you don't drink alcohol, they still have a really good food. Other restaurants (Sharky's and Conch and Kalik) are nearby if you want to experience authentic Caribbean food (think conch burgers and jerk chicken).
The sun finally came out around 1pm after a rainy and windy morning. Hubby and I braved the weather to go out and do some shopping. At least it wasn't cold so we were good. After we went out twice, we had lunch on the ship. "On The Grill" had hamburgers, hot dogs and lots of trimmings to choose from. Tiffany's restaurant and French inspired foods. Mongolian wok had "cooked-to-order" items. And, of course, there is a 24-hour pizza and ice cream/frozen yogurt. Truly something for almost everyone.

Nassau, Bahamas
Nassau is the only place in the Caribbean you can find Nassau Royale. It is a Caribbean rum. The US used to import it but don't anymore. So, when I come, I make sure I get a few bottles. Four years ago, I got 4 bottles and I still have one bottle. It is a nice after dinner drink (and great for strawberry daiquiris so I try to keep some on hand.
I used to like to visit the straw market which is a short walk from the port. It is much bigger than it used to be. When I started coming to Nassau, it wasn't a very big area and you could go and watch elderly ladies making the straw hats and bags by hand. It was fascinating to me. When I went this time, there were just people there trying to entice me to look at what they had for sale. They all wanted the same thing, for me to come look at what they were selling. The area had become much larger and there are several long aisles of straw items. I did not see one person making any items, but to be honest, I did not go into the market this time. I don't like high pressure selling. I just like to look without all the vying for my attention.

Jacksonville FL Day 1
We parked our car at The Parking Mall and were shuttled to the ship, which was literally right across the road. There is only one ship that leaves from the port so everyone we would meet would be out neighbors for the next 5 days. There were people from all over the United States as well as abroad. Some were first-time cruisers, some were seasoned travelers.
The check-in process was not too bad and did not take too long. Once on board we went to our room and it was ready for us. We put down our carry-ons and started exploring the ship. That is our custom when we board a new ship, start getting to know how to get around. We find out where everything is located so when are ready to find a particular lounge or place, we will kind of know how to get there. Since the ship was so small, learning how to get around was easy. Exploring is another way to get in your 10,000 steps a day. Being on a ship makes it easy to do. And after the food I am sure we are going to encounter, I know I am going to need those steps and more!

Vacation Time!!
My husband and I are counting down the days for our vacation! Although we are "empty nesters", we still get excited about getting out of the house and enjoying other scenery.
This year he decided he wanted to take a two week vacation! I was shocked as we usually only do a week at a time. But, hey, who am I to complain? Since I work from anywhere there is internet, I can take my business with me if I need to.
So, by the first of Dec., I will have a lot of stories to tell and photos to share.
This year we are cruising for a week and staying at a villa for a week. We will spend time with each other and our family, making some great memories along the way.
Sometimes we are so bogged down with the day-to-day things we have to do, that we forget to take a break and do something we want to do.
What are you waiting for? Plan a vacation, even if only for a long weekend. Do something different, adventurous or just fun! Your body and your mind will thank you for it. And you will come back ready to take on the next arrow that life will throw at you.
Some people complain that they do not have the money. I created my travel agency for such people. Plan far enough in advance so that you can make payments on your trip. That way, you can go without having to skip a bill or have worries about how everything will get paid.
Travel should not be a stress! It should be a time to rejuvenate and reconnect with those you love. Take the time now. Stop waiting for what you think will be the perfect time. The perfect time is now! Visit www.McMillianTravel.com and fill out or vacation or cruise intake form. We will get back to you so that you can start enjoying more of what life has to offer.
What are you waiting for? Let's go somewhere!

Florida Vacation Day 5
Today I was able to spend the day with my brother Hampton. Just the two of us. It was so nice. Since we do not get to see each other often. And then I found out via Facebook that today is National Sibling Day! So, that made the day all the more special.
He even came all the way to Orlando to pick me up. Then we went to the Tampa Bay Jazz Festival. There were food vendors, clothing vendors and more. Since I enjoy food, I was eager to get some of the food there. I had a gyro that was really, really good.
Then I met Ramon at his booth. His family-owned and operated restaurant, Pipo's, serves the Bay area with traditional Cuban recipes (has been since 1979). If you are in the area and want to visit their cafe, they are located at 9531 Bay Pines Blvd. St. Petersburg FL 33708. Of course you can call your order in at 727-394-7476. They have dine in, take out, delivery and catering. You can even place your order online at http://www.Pipos1979.com
They have a Cuban sandwich that will make you rethink your last 8 decisions! It has pork, ham, mortadella (Italian sausage), salami, pickle and Swiss cheese. Can you say WOW? I also tasted a Papas Rellenas (fried stuffed potato). The food was delish!! So if you are in the area and want some authentic Cuban food, go by Pipo's and tell Ramon the travel agent sent you!
