First Cruise, CHECK! Now back on dry land…

BackpackMr and I are just back from our first cruise, which we took with Holland America Cruise Lines, aboard the MS Oosterdam.

We’ve got loads of good info to share with you over several upcoming blogs. But long story short, we had a wonderful time. And our stops in the Bahamas and Jamaica, as well as our return to Cozumel, Mexico, were all spectacular.

We even enjoyed the luxury of our days at sea. (Though not without deep thoughts! Stay tuned.)

Wine…truffles…a handsome companion…bliss. BackpackMr and I have dinner in the Pinnacle restaurant, aboard the MS Oosterdam, on our first cruise with Holland America. We clean up nice.

And after some exhausting travel issues on our return, we are so happy to be home with Ms. BrooklynHound (who had some rather amazing adventures, herself!)

Thank you to everyone who offered up cruise travel tips and ideas! Your input was so helpful as we prepared for our cruise in the days and weeks beforehand.

Stay tuned for multiple blog posts to come on our experience, and our post-cruise re-entry.
