For over 30 years Bruce and Myrna Chapman, of Cedar Springs, have been enjoying their yearly cruise.  This year they traveled to Tampa, Fl  with family members and friends where they boarded the “Rhapsody of the Seas” a Royal Caribbean Cruise ship, on March 4th for a week long cruise to the western Caribbean. They visited Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Cozumel, Mexico, the island of Belize, and Costa Maya, Mexico and took the Post along with them.

The Post recently traveled with Ken and Connie Mitz, of Pierson, to Cancun, Mexico on their honeymoon. They visited Mexico for eight stress-free days in September. While there, they saw many sights, and saw first-hand how different their lifestyle is from ours.

Ken was especially amazed by all the small motorcycles they use for transportation. He saw women and children—two and sometimes three or four people—on a motorcycle. He said that a lot of the motorcycles were interesting, although not allowed in the states because of emissions.

“Another interesting thing is that all the bus drivers’ last names must be Andretti because they all drive like they are qualifying for the Indy 500,” he said.

Ken and Connie both took time out of their vacation to read their favorite newspaper, and are talking about returning to Mexico for their anniversary.

Thanks, Ken and Connie, for taking us with you!

The Argall family—April, Randy and Ethen—went to Cozumel, Mexico on a Disney cruise for Ethen’s 7^th birthday. Ethen was born with dysphagia (a swallowing disorder) and his goal was to eat by mouth. If he achieved the goal, he would go on the Disney cruise. And he did it! Great job, Ethen!

The family said it was in the 70s and 80s and sunny every day. They stopped at Costa Maya, Grand Cayman Island, and Castaway Cay Island.

“If you have the chance to take a family trip, this was great,” said April. “There were a lot of family things to do off and on the ship. And it was the number one cruise ship to be on in 2014.”

Thanks for taking us with you on your Disney cruise!
