Hi I am Dolores. My husband and I started cruising in 2008. Since our first cruise, we have been in love with the adventure out at sea. This remains true today. Each cruise is a unique experience from the weather to the port. In between cruises we do home construction and lots of other traveling. You never know what you will discover and learn by following my life’s journey.

It fits two bottles of water and all the other stuff you need for touring and walking around. The best part is the straps are adjustable and wide making the bag very comfortable and light.
