Passports are required for all cruises outside of the United States. We will leave from Baltimore, Md., and sail down the east coast of the United States. SAR members from each state we pass will tell us about the important Revolutionary War Battle that took place in their respective states. When we dock at Cape Canaveral, we will board a bus at 1 p.m. and travel to the Brevard Veterans Memorial Park on Merritt Island to lay a wreath at the memorial marker for the last naval battle of the American Revolution and visit the Park's museum. Then, we will board the bus and return to the ship. There will be time to explore the Cape Canaveral area upon our return from Merritt Island. Our next stop will be Nassau, Bahamas, where we will visit the ruins of Fort Nassau, the site of the first amphibious landing of the United States Continental Marines during the American Revolution and lay a wreath at the site of the historical marker. Thereafter, we are free to explore Nassau. Our next stop is Coco Cay, where we have the choice of going ashore or staying on the ship. Then, it is two days of relaxing and socializing as we return to Baltimore. This is the way to travel! Unpack one time, relax, socialize, eat and eat some more—what could be better? We hope you will join us on this relaxing and fun trip. Lindsey and Billie
