The Mesoamerican Biological Corridor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the ideal destination for a summer getaway. There is nothing like paradise for relaxation, thanks to its stunning barrier reefs, pristine white beaches, expansive blue skies, and abundant marine life. So, my family booked a flight from US Airways and packed our bags from Philadelphia, PA, to Miami, FL, where Carnival Glory waited to take us to the heavenly Western Caribbean. One of the best ways to explore the area is to take a cruise ship. Cruises are the most luxurious and most extraordinary, not to mention stylish. Our boat became the largest, with 15 floors of fun, food, and friendly people (Triple F), docked in the Port of Miami. However, our cabin was perfectly fit for my tiny sis, not four people. It looked smaller than the one Mom and I traveled via Celebrity Xpedition in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Four full-size beds occupied the entire room, leaving little space for a chair. Nevertheless, this ship sounded excellent except for the cramped room. There were some incredible adventures ahead of us in a week. But still, I couldn't wait to go on this epic journey. 【红霞译】
联合国教科文组织《世界遗产名录》的“中美洲生物通道”不失为夏季度假的优胜美地，漂亮的堡礁、白色的沙滩、浩瀚的蓝天、丰富的海洋生物把这一带地貌景致打造得美轮美奂，不是仙境胜似仙境。正因如此，我们全家预订了全美航空公司航班，打点好行装欣然从宾夕法尼亚“山林”州费城“兄弟情谊”飞往佛罗里达“花”州迈阿密“大水”，“嘉年华·荣耀”号游轮率领老少三代南下西加勒比“勇者”海直捣人间天堂。
出游该地区最好的方式之一就是乘坐游轮，游轮方便舒适，且不说品位特别。从外观上来看，“嘉年华·光荣”号游轮算得上停靠在迈阿密港口所有船舶中最雄伟的，上下共有15个楼层，到处充满欢乐、美食、友善(三项重要指标均以“F”打头)，然而我们蜗居的船舱却小得可怜，塞进个头不大的妹妹倒没有什麽问题，可要装下老少三代谈何容易，它看起来比妈妈带我去厄瓜多尔“赤道”巨龟岛旅游时乘坐的“名人·探索”号游轮还要狭窄，四张单人床铺顶天立地，剩下的地方搁把椅子都非常困难。 说东道西，除了舱位寒碜之外，这艘游轮真的蛮好，未来一个星期将带我们四处发掘不少奇观异景，我恨不能这趟辉煌旅程马上开始。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2012: 工作聚餐(Business Lunch)  PHL (费城国际机场)
