The cruise...

was awesome! We had a great room with a balcony. It was up on the top of the ship so we were pretty secluded from the other passengers.


We each got a life jacket and training on how to use it. We took it very seriously!


I brought my GPS on the ship which was fun. We checked out location every once in a while and how fast we were going. We also used it when we were putzing around Progresso and Cozumel.


Here we are at the first show. It was ultimate country or something. It's funny because the whole crew was from foreign countries and they were all singing God bless America. I thought it was really funny.


We went to Cozumel and there were a ton of jewelers out there. They even had a place where you can watch these guys cut and polish diamonds. Mom went to one of the more swanky ones and they sold her what she thought was a 3k necklace for about 1k. It turned out to be fake!! It's all good though, because she's getting her money back but, that's a lesson for us all... don't buy anything over $20.00 while in Cozumel... unless you can eat it or drink it!


The best part of the trip (in my opinion) was this ATV course that we went on. It was crazy! I mean, it was booked as a aggressive tour of the jungle on ATVs. Let me tell you... it was a crazy aggresive tour of the friggin jungle. I mean, we were IN the jungle! I broke two ATV's but it was totally not my fault and Joy took out a tree... that had termite damage anyway so... it was all good!


We had to go back to the ship covered in dirt, which was hilarious. When the head of security for the ship saw us... he just stared and then asked "What happened to you two?" We got our pictures taken a couple of times before we got to our cabin.


I think I spent a good hour in the steam room after that!

All in all it was an awesome experience. I could write for hours on what we did and experienced and I'd still miss stuff. Oh... the food was out of this world! At any time, free of charge, I could order a BLT sandwich and a chocolate milk shake to my room. When I discovered this, I wept. The next time you're sitting around with a couple grand burning a hole in your pocket I suggest taking a cruise. It's way better than paying bills!
