Dream Vacation

You've heard of a "Dream" vacation,
well that's what I'm gonna do.
My wife and I on a cruise ship,
which to us is nothing new.

This will be the ninth straight year
that we've gone on a seven day cruise.
Of all the vacation options I have,
it's the one I always choose.

The name of the ship is Carnival "Dream",
the largest in their fleet.
So it's my "Dream" vacation in more ways than one,
which I think is pretty neat.

The first stop will be in Nassau,
a Bahama paradise.
Next will be St. Thomas (V.I.)
I've already been there twice.

The next stop is St. Maarten.
It'll be my third time there.
Even though I've been before,
it's so lovely, I don't care.

At these three stops, I'll just relax,
don't really do that much.
I may go ashore and look around,
shop a bit and see the sights and such.

For the many attractions the ship offers,
I just can't say enough.
Excellent shows and things to do,
to top them would be tough.

This is my "Dream" vacation,
I always look forward too.
It's the most relaxed I ever get,
there's nothing I'd rather do.

Wow, a cruise every year, Ralph! Sounds wonderful touring the Bahamas too. How ironic that the ship is called "Dream." Best wishes in Carol's contest! Love, Carolyn
