Hello All: We had an unfortunate start to the morning, but our day turned out pretty well. We had a scuba/snorkeling trip planned for today, but the scuba site gave very unclear directions about where we were supposed to go and we ended up in the wrong spot. It’s a long story, and Bill probably …

There’s an app for that!
Howdy! So if you want to speed up your enjoyment of the blog and you like apps, there is a wordpress app that you can get and use to follow Traveling with Emily. I got it and I am getting it sort of figured out. I’m able to bring it up and go right to …
Snorkeling Trip
We had a pretty fun day. We started this morning with a snorkeling trip that we organized yesterday with a guy named Kevin. Bill has now dubbed him Sketchy Kevin. He told us he would take us to a beautiful snorkel place with lots of coral and showed me a picture that was probably taken …
Let’s boogie!
Hello faithful readers! So today I hear you are getting an actual post from Emily, those travel days are hard and it can be a daunting task to have to think when you feel a lot like sleeping! I’m probably more used to typing things up when I’m tired because I have to do it …
Hot Water
So, as it turns out, our hotel does have hot water. I almost froze last night in the shower, then Bill told me that his shower water was scalding hot. The hot and cold water handles are switched here. I tried both of them, but apparently, I didn’t let the hot water one run long …
Miami not Your-ami

(Note from Emily: It’s definitely more rustic than expected. I just took a …
Back Home!
Hello everyone from Iowa! I’ve been home a day and some hours on each side of it. I enjoyed getting to spend a little time after Jamaica in Dexter with Emily’s family and friends at church. I told Emily that we should try and do that again if I get enough time. We had a wonderful …
Back in the US
We made it back to the US! I’m not impressed with Southwest in Jamaica. Getting checked in was a disorganized mess, nothing was clearly marked. We had to keep asking if we were in the right spot. The staff were friendly, the Jamaican people always were that we dealt with. Our travel agent booked us …
Last Full Day in Negril
Well everyone this trip is winding down. It’s bittersweet, I will be happy to be back home in the near future since I can’t just stay on vacation. I suppose it would be good to go back to work and start looking at what we will do for our next adventure. We both tested negative for …
Stingray
Bill and I did a really fun snorkeling trip this morning. We took a two person kayak out to my snorkel location, and parked it in the cove I found. The guy who gave us the kayak told us to stay in an area where they could see us, and technically we did that. Bill …
