Pirates of the Caribbean!

Matt and I went with our friends Brian and Emily on a fantastic Royal Caribbean cruise. We stopped in Labadee (Haiti), Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We ate way too much great food, had lots of fun and wish we could go again tomorrow! Please let me know if you want to go with us next year because I think this is something I could get addicted to.
Emily and I had fun climbing the falls in Jamaica, mon. It was really cool to just walk right up the middle!

Brian and Emily found a nice spot to take a break and a picture. Aren't they cute!



Jamaica was crazy but we loved hiking the waterfall. We were told we needed a guide to get us safely to the top be we saw the old and large people doing alright and decided we could do it alone.



The inside of the ship feels a lot like Vegas. Lots of lights and glass stair cases, beautiful art and sculpture and plenty of cheesy shows. We saw musicals, an ice skating spectacular, a really bad magician, a comedian and a very naughty love and marriage show that I can't believe Brian and Emily wanted to be on!



The Royal Promenade on the ship had shopping and lots and lots of yummy treats. We found almond cookies, ice cream and of course Diet Coke!











Chankanaab Beach in Cozumel Mexico was one of my favorite stops. We sat in the sun, read a book and snorkeled. The sun felt like laser beams, it was so intense.
The best and funnest way to get around on Cozumel to scooter! We had a blast although we look just a little silly.








Matt in Sting Ray City in Grand Cayman kissing a sting ray for 7 years good luck. That was crazy, but cool.









Just a couple of tourists out to have some fun!







Sea Kayaking was a blast, until we stopped to talk to locals on the beach and then had to buy a bunch of junk from them so they would leave us alone!
This is on Labadee (which is a beach on Haiti). Look how lovely the sun and sand are.











Here we are getting ready for our kayak trip.














Disco night on the ship. We had to get a picture by the rainbow bridge!














Here is the Liberty of the Seas! It was so huge. There were 3000 guests and 1500 crew members. We were amazed at the size of this ship. We were told Royal Caribbean is coming out with an even bigger ship that can hold 6000 guests and 300 crew members. Wow! We should book now!

What have you done to get so skinny? It's not even fair. If you get to go on a cool trip like that without me, you should have to be fat and ugly. It only makes it fair. I'll definitely sign up for next year. Marshall should have a job by then right?
