the excitement is building

After months of planning (documented in my cruise blog ), we're in the final countdown to our cruise.30 days until we set sail for the warm Caribbean. We fly to Miami on 2/14 and board the ship -- the Carnival Valor -- for a 7 day cruise the the Western Caribbean.  We have shore excursions planned for each port of call.  In the Cayman islands, we will take a ride on the Atlantis submarine and then tour Grand Cayman Island.  In Belize we will take a riverboat ride through rainforest and then climb Mayan ruins.  We will take a boat tour of coral reefs off of Roatan Island.  and we have a beach day planned in Cozumel, Mexico. I've been planning, shopping, making packing lists.... Yes, the excitment is starting to build....
