In mid March we had the good fortune to utilize our timeshare points and do a group charter with Tradewinds. The Tradewinds experience is basically an all inclusive group charter on a yacht, where you book one or more cabins using points, and the balance of cabins are occupied by other guests. They have 3 classes of vessels, ranging from cruising class up to their flagship boats with an increasing level of elegance. There are five guest cabins on the cruising class, and four on the higher class ships. There is way too much for us to share in a single article, so this will be first in a series of posts about our experience. We decided that a preview of what to come would be the best way to start!

Here is a preview of all the places we visited. We also were able to track our progress and create a Google map.

Here are just some of the cool places we visited, things we did, and what you can expect to read about:

• Castaway Island (where the filmed the movie)
• "Survivor" island (where they filmed the season that is starting in March)
• Swimming with reef sharks
• Snorkeling
• Food reviews
• First class lounge reviews
• Lots and lots of photos

Although this is just a preview, we'll be posting all this and more over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

Living, loving, drinking, and traveling through life.
