PORT OF EMBARKATION
TAMPA, FL — Sunday, January 24, 2010
A university town at heart, Tampa has a myriad of attractions: the palatial mansion and art museum of the king of the circus, John Ringling; the king of the jungle at Busch Gardens; the antique village of Ybor Square; the enchanting Sunken Gardens and much more.
KEY WEST, FL — Monday, January 25, 2010
An American town that moves to the sensuous rhythms of the Caribbean. Inspiration for Audubon, Hemingway, Harry Truman and Jimmy Buffett. Conch culture, coral reefs and sleek racing catamarans await. How will you mark your time here? Sample shore excursions: Old Town Trolley & Conch Train; Key West Cup Regatta; The Trails of Margaritaville Walking Tour; Pirate Soul & Shipweck Museum.
PUERTO CORTÉS, HONDURAS — Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Puerto Cortés is to residents of this small Central American country what Long Island is to New Yorkers or the Cote d’Azur (French Riviera) is to Parisians. Hondurans from San Pedro Sula and other major cities flock here for weekend getaways and a chance to spend some time relaxing on the beach. Spanish colonists founded Puerto Cortes Honduras in 1524.
SANTO TOMAS DE CASTILLO, GUATEMALA — Thursday, January 28, 2010
"Guatemala" means "land of many trees". Our port of San Tomas de Castilla provides access to rainforests, a manatee habitat, national parks, and archaeologic sites. Copan, the "Paris of the Mayan world" is a plane ride away. Quirigua, a Mayan ruin known for finely sculpted monuments, lies close to port. Any way you choose, Guatemala offers a quintessential Central American experience.
COSTA MAYA, MEXICO — Friday, January 29, 2010
The quiet side of Mexico. Here, along an unspoiled coastal paradise, archaeology buffs discover Mayan ruins shrouded in magic and mystery; divers find treasure in fantastic coral reefs. Sample shore excursions: Kohunlich Mayan Ruins; Coral Reef Snorkel; 4 x 4 All-terrain Expedition; Fly Fishing Tour.
Oscar Wilde has somewhere remarked, "You can't reason a man out of a
position he has not reasoned himself into." I confess I have reasoned
myself into believing that Chess Moves was not only good for chess
instruction, but good for the soul as well. The details organized by Neil
were first rate. Larry, Susan, and Joel provided excellent instruction.
I look forward to other such adventures.

Neil did a great job organizing everything and promptly emailing answers to all my questions.

It was great! I could not stop smiling the whole time. I will remember this trip for a long time.

I certainly would go to Chess Moves at least once a year if I like the itinerary.

A world class event with world class people.
F. Leon Wilson
<fleonw @ chesslearn.com>
This cruise and the chess classes were definitly a world class event. I
wish I could have done it before as it really encourages me to stick to
chess and work to improve my game (I admit there is a lot to do). The
choice of the GMs was great as each had a different personality and gave a
specific pespective of the game. It is something I will remember for a
long time and I have already started planning for the next Chess Moves
cruise even if I am not sure I will be able to make it. Thanks again Neil.

My husband and I have been on six cruises and numerous trips and he commented today that "Chess Moves is the most organized, well done package" that he has seen. This is a really big compliment in that part of his job is analyzing other peoples marketing and program development.
