Grand Cayman - Island Tour (perfect for the whole family!)



Are you traveling to Grand Cayman soon?  There are a lot of fun and exciting things to do on this island, so choosing an excursion could be difficult.

If you are on a budget, then an island tour might be the perfect tour for you.  My family of 4 did this tour for a cost of about $15-$20 USD a person, which is substantially cheaper than what the cruise line wanted to charge for the same excursion.  The sellers on the pier were extremely competitive in trying to get our business, with the different tour operators going lower in price than the one who previously quoted us.  So don't jump at the first offer you hear, shop around for only a minute and you are bound to save $5 or more per person.

Below is a video photograph tour showing some of the sights you can expect on a tour of Grand Cayman.  Your guide will take you past interesting houses such as the governor's mansion, how the locals live, a stop at the Tortuga Rum Co. where you can sample rum and rum cake, the dolphin discovery (and the turtle farm, right across the street), and ends at 7 mile beach.  You can stay here for the rest of your day, or the tour does include a drop off back at the pier.

Please enjoy!  And if you can, leave me a comment letting me know what you thought of the video, or if you have been to Grand Cayman, what was your favorite thing to do.

Don't forget a thumbs up! :)

How to Get a Refund of Service Charges on Norwegian Cruise Line



If you are like me, you went aboard your cruise thinking you could adjust your service charges while on your cruise.

NOTICE: You cannot do this while aboard your cruise!

Instead, they will give you a form and tell you that you can request a refund once your cruise is actually over.  This was mind blowing to me...not to be able to adjust your tips while your cruise is actually happening?

To help you avoid the hassle I went through (almost 1.5 months!) to get my refund, I made a video that I think will help you out:



Hopefully this will help you out, and make getting money back easier when cruising Norwegian.

Please like my video on YouTube, and let me know if you have any questions.

Costa Maya Flyers: Danza de los Voladores




Have you ever wanted to see the Mazatlan Flyers, or another similar group while traveling around Central America, only to miss out? Here is your chance to see this spectacular aerial dance! With a history rooted deep in deep Mayan culture, these dances are extremely fun to watch, as the dancers hang upside down from only one rope while playing instruments or holding a pose, swinging in a circle. The Dance of the Flyers ceremony is performed to bring forth rain, but different ceremonies were performed in the past when needed or requested by royalty.



Thanks for watching! More to come soon!
