We had so much interest on our last post about Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas (the world's largest cruise ship) that we decided to post about something more practical - details and pricing on a particular cruise on Icon of the Seas!!!

I priced a 7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise that leaves Miami on Saturday, November 16 and returns to Miami on Saturday, November 23. The total cost for two people is $5,192.36, which isn't bad considering all there is to do, eat, drink, and see on-board and at all the ports of call. Plus, you would be able to brag that you've cruised on the largest ship in the world! The schedule for this cruise is attached, and check out this link for details on Icon of the Seas: https://iconoftheseas.letsgetcruising.com/?id=eyJiIjoiMjA2Mjc5IiwiZCI6IjEyNTk1NzEiLCJuIjoiQmVuamFtaW4gR2FsbGVudGluZSIsImUiOiJCZW4uRUxUdHJhdmVsQGdtYWlsLmNvbSIsImEiOiJFTFQgKEV2ZXJ5IExpdHRsZSBUaGluZykgVHJhdmVsIiwicCI6IjgxNTQ5NjQxMTQiLCJtIjoiSSBhbSBwbGVhc2VkIHRvIHJldmVhbCB0aGUgbmV3ZXN0IHNoaXAgaW4gdGhlIFJveWFsIENhcmliYmVhbiBGbGVldCwgYW5kIGhvcGUgdGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgc3RhcnQgb2YgY3JlYXRpbmcgaWNvbmljIHZhY2F0aW9ucyB0b2dldGhlci4iLCJjIjoiVVNEIn0=.

Contact me, Ben Gallentine, with any interest and questions. I will be happy to get your Icon of the Seas journey started! My cell is 815-496-4114, and my email address is [email protected], or you can message me on here.

Have a wonderful night and week!

Royal Caribbean International’s newest set sail in 2024 and is already making history. As the largest cruise ship in the world, I’ve narrowed down just a few of my favorite parts of the new cruising experience 🚢 🌍:

✅ Sunsets from The Hideaway’s (18+) suspended infinity pool
✅ Lounging and enjoying cocktails from the swim-up bar at , Royal Caribbean’s private island
✅ Sliding down 6 record-breaking waterslides at the largest waterpark at sea
✅ Grabbing a drink from Swim & Tonic, the first swim-up bar at sea
✅ Catching panoramic views of the ocean from The Overlook while working from suspended pods

Connect with me to become one of the first to sail on !

Another day, another amazing deal! This package that E.L.T. can book for you starts at $819/person (double occupancy) and includes:

🌴3 nights at the 4.5 star RIU Palace Tropical Bay on Seven Mile Beach in Negril, Jamaica in a junior suite room with wi-fi and 24 hour room service! ALL drinks, food, and activities are included!
🌴Round-trip air between Chicago O'Hare airport and Montego Bay airport!
🌴All taxes and fees!
🌴$654 in resort coupons!

I (Ben) stayed at this resort in a junior suite room in January 2022 and enjoyed the upscale room, balcony, food, drinks, pools, entertainment, beautiful beach, and ocean with a flat, sandy bottom. I am not one to get in the ocean, but I was able to wade out at least a hundred yards and still see the bottom! Plus, when you stay at this resort, you can also visit the neighboring RIU Negril at no charge, but their guests can't come to your resort. I especially enjoyed the adults-only pool with swim-up bar...the atmosphere at that pool was super fun! :)

We are a proud supporter of local racing, including the Paydirt Motorsports - Brandt Cole dirt late model team!

We are way overdue for an end of season recap...better late than never! Due to many factors, including going through an engine and racecar during the year, we didn't get out as much as planned. We still had fun and learned a lot in our first year competing in the IMCA late model division though! Here are the quick stats on the 2023 season.

2 top 5s
6 top 10s
1 heat race win
9 races
3 tracks in 2 states

Two finishes outside of the top 10 were due to being caught up in other drivers' crashes and one was because of engine issues, so we finished in the top 10 in every race that we saw the checkered flag for. We were fast when bad luck didn't hit us.

We are hoping for a smoother 2024 season. Any financial and/or mechanical help is welcomed and appreciated for our small, local, low budget team. We are currently looking for shop space within a half hour of Rock Falls, IL. We have outgrown our current location and need more room to work and store parts. Sponsorship would be great, but we are also willing to pay rent.

Thank you all for your continued support! A special thank you to ELT - Every Little Thing Travel for being an irreplaceable marketing partner. Contact them for all of your travel needs, from an overnight hotel stay to a bucket-list cruise or beach/international vacation.

See you next season! 🏁🏁🏁
