What an amazing mid winter break to the Caribbean. Usually a trip to South Carolina will give us the vitamin D we need to tide us over to spring but this year it was unseasonally cold. Our first stop was Miami and just in time for Superbowl weekend. The cars en route to South Beach were at a standstill so we were glad to have skipped it and opted to drive to Key West instead. Well, not all the way but we made it to the 7 mile bridge and a pit stop at the Everglades to say hello to the gators. While the family stayed at a hotel, Norm and I stayed at Geremy's condo which was 5 minutes to the port. Geri, as she likes to be called now, was my childhood friend. She was actually my sister's BFF but she and I hung out often, especially when my sister was off meeting boys at the mall. It was nice to be reunited and to have spent the night exchanging stories and filling Norm in on all the memories. The next day we could see our cruise ship waiting for us at the port. After breakfast and shopping for last minute items, we boarded the lovely Celebrity Century in time for lunch. While the city was buzzing with Superbowl parties, we were happy to be on our boat en route to the warm caribbean sun.
