Just got back from Panama City Beach, Florida. The weather was a bit chilly. We had some pretty good days though. Played a lot of games, drove around a lot, miniature golf, Ripley's Believe it or Not.

There are a few things that I would do differently next time around. I will do a separate post with a few things to keep in mind if renting an Air BnB or a cottage out of province/Canada.

Best of all, the company was absolutely fabulous!! We cooked most of our meals and man we are all good cooks! Pete made homemade pizza dough, yep, to die for!! Carol made quite a few awesome salads. Everyone took a turn cooking.

Thanks so much for a great month away, Pete, Angie, Carol, John and Mitch. xoxo

Handmade on board, complimentary, and insanely tasty — Lick Me Till Ice Cream, the ice cream parlor on board Virgin Voyages’ fleet of ships, is more than just a memorable name. Open daily, it offers four regular flavors (“regular” as in “consistent,” not as in “average” — the Gianduiotto chocolate, vanilla, malted strawberry, and Key Lime pie varieties are anything but). In addition to those, they keep standard sugar-free options stocked, plus a rotation of special flavors and sorbets in unconventional flavors like orange ricotta and raspberry beet.
