Day 325, 25 May 2013, Docked in Miami, Florida - Flew to Vegas, Baby! Wow - can't believe a week has passed on the high seas - we both feel like we're finally dive fit! Headed off the ship and entered the crazy world of Miami International Airport and after inordinate amounts of security, the peaceful oasis of the American Airlines Admiral's Club (never hurts to check if Qantas Club will get us in... bit hit and miss generally). Left at 11.30 am - which immedi...

Day 324, 24 May 2013, Havana, Cuba. Well actually - Sea Day! Another cruise around Cuba. It must be the allure of the forbidden but we've decided (not being American and all) that one day we would quite like to visit Havana, having now sailed past twice. There was no escaping it (and thank goodness today was a sea day), because it was also PACKING DAY! The exploding backpacks had once more spread themselves everywhere. On a super positive note, we'd both ma...

Day 323, 23 May 2013, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands - Home to sunshine, diving, banks and money laundering.... US$ actually being made of linen rather than paper, they actually do wash exceedingly well. We know this because a couple of singles were in James's back pocket during a dive and they have dried out crisp and new. Must be that Caymanian water... But seriously folks, it was a pleasure to be on an island where they drive on the right side of the road (th...

Day 322, 22 May 2013, Mahogany Bay, Roatan Island (Honduras). Must stay on top of where we are... must. Officially THE BEST DIVING IN THE CARIBBEAN. (No matter what anyone says.) We had a free 25 minute island tour during the drive to Anthony's Key Resort. Neither of us knew much about the island but discovered it to be incredibly lush with vegetation but very basic generally. Though there were pockets of expensive gated condos and "big houses" in parts, pov...

Day 321, 21 May 2013, Belize City, Belize. It didn't seem extreme when we booked our excursions, but this has accidentally turned into Caribbean Dive Adventure week. We didn't pull up and park this morning (at a pier like yesterday), rather we dropped in... an anchor that is. Ahhhh - a tendering port. Hours of fun - before you even get ashore. Ship was bobbing about like a champagne cork this morning - very choppy seas slowed up everything - The "Best Diving...
