we're in this den together
as authors in the mix,
sharing all our stories,
our poems, news and tips,
but wouldn't it be lovely
if we all could meet this fall
and make a living story
come alive once and for all
so save up all those pennies
and work some overtime,
because cynth'ya is cruisin'
and hopes you will find the time,
for we go thru life just once and
never more our poems we'll pen,
and this one is a budget cruise
. . .I hope to see you, friend.

5 Night Western Caribbean Cruise from Fort Lauderdale, FL
Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas
November 24, 2007

OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA
The town of Ocho Rios, on Jamaica's north coast, is edged with beautiful white-sand beaches and unbelievable landscapes. Contrary to popular belief, its name does not refer to "eight rivers," the literal Spanish translation. It derives instead from the Spanish word "chorreras," meaning "waterfalls," of which Ocho Rios has many - including the famous and spectacular Dunn's River Falls.

GEORGE TOWN, GRAND CAYMAN
Grand Cayman is one of a group of three magnificent tropical islands Christopher Columbus called "Las Tortugas" (the turtles) for the sea creatures he found in the ocean water. The designation did not endure, however, for on later maps the islands were labeled the Caimanau, the Carib Indian word for "crocodile." The name "Caimanas" refers inaccurately to the iguanas native to the islands, which were perhaps at one point mistaken for crocodiles. Among other attractions, visitors to the island will enjoy learning about the turtles, visiting the town of Hell, exploring Seven-Mile Beach and enjoying the undersea world.
