Carnival Dream





The ship we cruised on was the Carnival Dream. We really appreciated Andrea Sinclair with whom we booked with from Carnival. We had to make several international calls and she took care of making sure we had rooms right next to each other. Of course, we would have liked to have had some on board credit thrown in, but maybe next time. We did find that the ship was a bit too big for the elderly as there was a lot of walking. Here are some fun pictures! And yes, towards the end of the cruise, we had to get a wheel chair for Daddy George. He loved being pushed around... and he got to eat all the desserts that were served!

Mayan Pyramids

The picture above is the pyramid in Belize in which we were able to climb all the way up to the top! The view was amazing!


We had a great time as we visited Mayan Pyramids in Mexico and Belize. We enjoyed our visit to the Pyramids in Belize the most!

Feasting while Cruising





Just one of many delicious dinners that we had on board the Carnival Dream!

Happy Chinese New Year


Yes, the whole month of January has flown by and we're already half way through February. I finally have time to post on our family blog. Really -- these six weeks went by faster than the speed of light. Why? Well, the semester ended in the middle of January and there were grades to calculate and papers to grade. At the same time, I had to get ready for our trip to the States. That meant shopping and packing and packing and shopping. After arriving in the States, I helped to pack my parents' suitcases as we were headed for a ROAD TRIP -- a 7 day cruise to see the Mayan Pyramids and a visit to Kennedy Space Center. Before I knew it, February arrived and I was again shopping and packing and packing and shopping in order to get things ready for our return to Taiwan. The day before our flight back in early February, I became deathly ill. I don't usually get sick, but this was the worse case of the flu that I have had in a long time -- my head ached and spun, I felt dizzy, I had no smell or taste, all I wanted to do was SLEEP. The flight was quite miserable and after our return, I slept for another FIVE days. And now second semester has started... and the only way I survived the first week back was by the grace and strength of God. I have recovered, which is a miracle. I know that so many were praying for me. The kids are back in school, Alan and I are back in school and everything is in full swing. So exactly one month after our departure in January for the start of our vacation, I finally have a minute to post some pictures and yes, it's already February 20th. Enjoy the pictures.
