A Week of Pure Happiness!

Refelcting on my AMAZING Cruise!
  • Cayman Islands - this was our first stop and since Steve's staph infection was still fresh, we took it easy and just did a semi submarine tour and did some shopping.
  • Isla Roatan (Hondurus) - we did the Zip Line and it was awesome!  Scary at first, but after the third zip, the fear subsided and the fun really kicked in. 
  • Beliz - Butts Up! That's what we would frequently here as we were cave tubing.  And if you didn't put your butt up when you heard that, well...you would feel violated by the rocks in the water as they scraped up your butt. I was a little bummed (no pun intended) that we couldn't take cameras with us on the tubing (water and cameras don't mix well together unless you had a water resistant camera).
  • Cozumel - beach day!  We took a shuttle up the the northern part and relaxed on the beach, went jet skiing and snorkeling.  Since I don't know how to swim, I was holding on to Steve for dear life, but once I realized I wasn't going to drown (duh, life jackets) and I could breath through the snorkel gear, I was really enjoying it!



Every evening when we came back from dinner, there would be these little creatures waiting to great us in our room.

If you've ever thought about going on a cruise, I highly recommend it.  It is very relaxing and you do lose track of the 'real' world for a bit.  I was so grateful that we could go with our best friends in the world.  I can't remember the last time I had that much fun and was HAPPY!

I have been waiting for this post since you left. :D

I breathed in everything you wrote and each picture. I am so glad you were able to go and forget about things for a week. You and Steve needed this.

I love the photo collages. You're so creative. You also look fabulous in all of them.

Now that its back to life, all I have to say is, "Bums up!"

I'm so jealous! That looks like so much relaxation and fun.

We have been on two cruises, our second one was a year and a half ago to Cabo. There's no other way to travel anymore lol.

That water is BEAUTIFUL!!!

I just found you through Ashley Linam's blog and I cannot believe it but we're going on the EXACT SAME cruise that you went on starting April 25th!! Any tips that you can share or special knowledge about any of the islands?!?!
