Western Caribbean on the Magic

A magical trip to the Caribbean from Galveston.  My mother's birthday was coming up, and for her 65th Birthday, I decided to surprise her with a Cruise on  the Magic.  7 wonderful days, we cruised to Jamaica Montego Bay, known as "Mo' Bay" to the locals, is Jamaica's second largest community. Gorgeous white-sand beaches and mangrove wetlands surround the old town, which rests at the bottom of lush green mountains. Montego Bay and the surrounding area offers the best of the Caribbean, including the nearby, historic town of Falmouth and its beautiful Georgian architecture. Surround yourself with the essence of Jamaica in the island's friendliest city. In Montego Bay, you’re also close to Ocho Rios, which features the popular Dunn’s River Falls.  We took a tour into Jamaica and toured the 1800 Plantation, what a wonderful place to visit, so lovely, the staff was so polite, even after Lisa, myself and my mom (Cynthia) got on the wrong bus, it was like a Lucy and Ethel plus one episode.  Halfway though the tour, the bus stops and ask if (we) the three ladies, where on the right bus.  Turns out we where on the wrong bus and the wrong tour, I was not about to get off and start the right tour which was a walking tour, so we asked if we could pay the difference, the tour company agreed, after that we refered to as the three run a ways.  

Grand Caymans, First sited by Christopher Columbus the Cayman Islands can boast itself as a major international financial center thanks to the notable fact it has more registered businesses than it does people. Don’t let business distract you from the beauty of this tropical paradise. Consisting of three islands, the Caymans are a haven for snorkelers and scuba enthusiasts alike. Whether it’s a swim with stingrays or a dive to explore the remains of one its several shipwrecks, the Caymans offer plenty for the water enthusiast. For a more laid back experience, visit Seven Mile Beach, on which a number of the islands’ hotels and resorts are located. The Cayman Islands are a must for the person looking for it all. Come and experience everything offered by this lush tropical paradise.  This is my new island.


Cozumel, unlike no other and the beaches stretches far beyond its spectacular shores.  A world Famous dive site, A tranquil oasis, abundant with warm welcomes around every corner.  Cozumel is a destination you will soon want to experience again and again.
