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 on 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. 【紅霞譯】
聯合國教科文組織《世界遺產名錄》的“中美洲生物通道”不失為夏季度假的優勝美地,漂亮的堡礁、白色的沙灘、浩瀚的藍天、豐富的海洋生物把這一帶地貌景致打造得美輪美奐,不是仙境勝似仙境。正因如此,我們全家預訂了全美航空公司航班,打點好行裝欣然從賓夕法尼亞“山林”州費城“兄弟之愛”飛往佛羅里達“花”州邁阿密“大水”,“嘉年華·榮耀”號遊輪率領老少三代南下西加勒比“勇者”海直搗人間天堂。
出遊該地區最好的方式之一就是乘坐遊輪,遊輪方便舒適,且不說品位特別。從外觀上來看,“嘉年華·光榮”號遊輪算得上停靠在邁阿密港口所有船舶中最雄偉的,上下共有15個樓層,到處充滿歡樂、美食、友善(三項重要指標均以“F”打頭),然而我們蝸居的船艙卻小得可憐,塞進個頭不大的妹妹倒沒有什麽問題,可要裝下老少三代談何容易,它看起來比媽媽帶我去厄瓜多爾“赤道”巨龜島旅遊時乘坐的“名人·探索”號遊輪還要狹窄,四張單人床鋪頂天立地,剩下的地方擱把椅子都非常困難。 說東道西,除了艙位寒磣之外,這艘遊輪真的蠻好,未來一個星期將帶我們四處發掘不少奇觀異景,我恨不能這趟輝煌旅程馬上開始。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2012: 工作聚餐(Business Lunch) PHL (費城國際機場)
