Hello!  I am coming up for a break for the first time since we returned from a wonderful trip!  School has kept me very busy since we returned home.  But I am back and I have pictures to show!  Our trip began Sunday when we boarded the Carnival Conquest.  We sailed the first 2 days to arrive at our first port of Montego Bay Jamaica on Wednesday.  This was tough because we had to layout at the pool and eat and eat..... for 2 days!! The sunsets were beautiful as you can see.
