Diving in St. Thomas
December 29, 2012
I can finally take scuba diving off my bucket list! My whole family is certified, so it was only fitting that I got scuba certified before my trip to the Caribbean. You wouldn't think it would be difficult, but the process to get your certification was a lot more work than I had anticipated. With hours of studying, attending classes, 6 hours in a pool, and 2 ocean boat dives, I am officially an open water scuba diver! Trust me, it was definitely not easy and my traumatic experience underwater left me with one red eye for 6 weeks (I'll spare you the details!)
After scuba diving in St. Thomas, I realized that it was all completely worth it. It was my first dive ever, and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience.

Holiday in the Sun
December 20, 2012
When I first heard that our cruise was going to the Bahamas, I automatically thought of my favorite Olsen twins in their movie, Holiday in the Sun. I'm really not kidding. Growing up, I loved and owned all of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's movies, so I was clearly excited to follow in their footsteps. Just like their characters, I was spending my winter vacation in the Bahamas and exploring the Atlantis Hotel on Paradise Island.
Nassau, Bahamas was first on our cruise itinerary. Due to some late-night partying, we stepped off the ship much later than we had hoped. I knew right away I was no longer in Sunny California, but stepping into paradise.
