2024.01 Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Grand Cayman (Part 1)

After joining her family for a Caribbean Cruise, Little Miss joked “a cruise on our own would be even better.” So, we booked one. This cruise, the line and itinerary was influenced from our in-laws. Although they didn’t join us, they have visited these locations before. Time to go to the ABCs!
