Nighttime Chronicles
With all my posts that have revolved around Benjamin and bedtime or sleeping I probably should have named this series awhile ago but going forward they will fall under the "Nighttime Chronicles!"
The latest:
Benjamin woke up from a bad dream last night. At breakfast the whole story came out:
Andrew: Do you remember having a bad dream last night?
Benjamin: Yes.
Andrew: Did it have to do with Paris?
Benjamin: Yes, I wanted to go to Paris.
Andrew: Who was going to Paris?
Benjamin: You were and I wasn't going.
Andrew: Oh.
Benjamin: I wanted to go to Paris. I just wanted to see the Eiffel Tower!!
(A world traveler in the making, perhaps?)

Castaway Cay
Our last day on board and we could not have asked for a better day. The weather was picture perfect and so was Disney's island, Castaway Cay.

Jamaica
We chose not to do an excursion in Jamaica. We did get off the boat and explore the port in the morning but then we spent the afternoon on board the ship, enjoying the view and the quieter boat!

Travelogue: Disney Cruise 2015 Part 5
October 20, 2015 Grand Cayman
We left the heavy downpours behind and sailed overnight to Grand Cayman. We spent another day off the ship this time traveling to visit with turtles and swim with dolphins. We don't have pictures of the dolphin swim but we had an amazing time. All six of us were in the water with a mother and 6 month old baby dolphin. We got to pet her, dance with her, and kiss her!

| Tendering into port. We thought this might extend the on and off boarding process but it was very well run. |

Travelogue: Disney Cruise 2015 Part 4
October 19, 2015 - Cozumel
We woke up to gray skies and a very rainy day but we braved the downpour and headed off for a glass boat tour. The below deck of the boat was all windows - perfect for taking in the marine life on two reefs!
