Brio® Mother-Daughter Cruise 2008

Hi, Friends!
Want to deepen your relationship with Christ and enhance your mother/daughter relationship as well? If so, this invitation is for you!

The best part about the cruise—we’ve chartered the whole ship, so it’ll just be us girls!

Our three goals:
(1) Spiritual revival
(2) Solidifying mom/daughter relationships
(3) Tons of fun and laughter during this once in a lifetime trip.

4 DAYS CRUISING THE BAHAMAS ABOARD THE CARNIVAL “CELEBRATION”
If you’ve dreamed of swimming with dolphins, a snorkel safari at Pearl Island, glass-bottom boat excursions, shopping in the Bahamas, eating way-yummy food and laughing till your sides hurt, you have a chance to make your dreams come true! Let the Carnival Celebration’s eight-deck-high water world dazzle you beyond your imagination.

FEBRUARY 14, 2008—DEPARTING JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA—4 P.M.

FEBRUARY 15—FREEPORT, BAHAMAS—12 NOON TO 7 P.M.
Freeport is a sportsman’s paradise with endless opportunities for snorkeling, sailing and scuba diving.

The Half Moon Cay is ideal for beach lovers, water sports and nature enthusiasts. Snorkel among the coral reefs, or paddle boat in the crystal clear bay. This island is a designated wild bird sanctuary with nature trails leading visitors to ideal vantage points for bird watching.
