I just did a write up for Dexters Stingray City Tour. This was a good tour for $35. We were able to spend plenty of time at Stingray City never feeling rushed. We got some great pics of the Stingrays.

When you rent a car in Cayman Island you need an International Driving Permit. You can pay the fee at the car rental desk or purchase a permit before you go and show the rental car company the permit. I just did a blog on this. You can read it here

This would benefit you if you are going to different locations where an International Driving Permit is required during a one year period. There are other islands where an International Permit is required.

Check the cruise ship schedule to see how many ships are in that day

I just posted a blog with pics about the different beaches and snorkeling places we visited during our week in Cayman Island.

We took the train with luggage from this port to Rome. We travel with carryon luggage only: one roller bag and one backpack. The train leaving the port was full, my husband ended up sitting on the luggage near the door and I was able to grab a seat. Luckily he was able to get word to me when it was our stop, or I would have missed it. If you can not manage your own luggage, or you have a lot of luggage, I would recommend a cab.

I just posted a writeup and pictures about eating like a local for the week while we were in Cayman Islands on my blog. We went to Sunshine Grill, Kurt Korner, Chicken Chicken, Over the Edge Cafe, Rankin's Jerk Pork, Heritage Kitchen. Kurt Korner had the best food for the money and definitely worth a trip if you are on that side of the island. We have passed by not realizing there was a place to eat there until we went to look for it. We will definitely put this on the return list.

If you are looking for good local food check it out.

We stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon and was very disappointed. Not many vendors and not alot going on. Save your time for the beach.

We had no problems finding free Wi-Fi at local café. You will have to purchase something to get the code. Look for places where you see others browsing the internet.

When we were in Santorini we needed a motorcycle license and intl drivers license to rent a scooter. We did not have a motorcycle license so they would only rent us an ATV or a car. The day before in Mykonos we were able to rent a scooter. All depends on who you are renting from. See my post about our day in Santorini and Mykonos at my blog

Thanks for the feedback. We are already booked for the flights. Some of these places we are visiting we have been to before. Others are new. Only staying in 6 hotels in 2 weeks. My type of travel is not for everyone, but we enjoy it. It also allows us to decide if we want to return for a longer stay, such as Capri, We have been to Capri and now returning for 2 nights. We are staying in Positino and doing day trips from there. Been to Rome several times but they had the best flights back for us. Will be writing about it when I return.

I did a detail write up on this on my blog going the other way, airport to cruise.

I did a detail write up on my tour with Ephusus Deluxe on my blog along with pictures. This is one stop that taking a tour is required to understand the history. You will not be disappointed. When we returned we stopped off at the market but they were way to aggressive for me.

I did a detailed write up with pictures on my blog on how to use the People Mover to get to the cruise ships. It is under the post of "Taking the Bus from Venice Airport to Piazzale Roma. People talked about it on the board, but its a little hard to find and hopefully with the pictures this will give you a better understanding on how to use it. It was very easy to use. You can use the people mover to return back to Venice once you are on the ship. It's much cheaper to use and it will allow you to see more of Venice by walking.

You will love Greece.

I would highly recommend renting a car or ATV. It is very easy to drive around. There were 3 ships in port that day and we had no problem getting off the ship picking up our ATV and were on our way. I found the Island very easy to get around. Check out my detail report along with pictures on our day in Santorini

We loved Greece and plan on returning. Greece was easy to DIY yourself.

We were first time visitors to Athens and saw a lot in only one day from the cruise ship. The key is getting a very early start. Check out my blog on my day in Athens along with pictures.
