Caribbean Cruise

Well, simply put, we had a fabulous trip with our parents and my brother! The cruise was wonderful and I am already planning our next one! (Don't tell Brad!) We had a rocky start with a scheduled 2 hour layover in Dallas that turned into 5 hours! We got into Miami at midnight and then our shuttle never came, so we didn't get into bed until 2 in the morning. But everything else went off without a hitch.

Our port of calls were Grand Cayman, Roatan Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel Mexico. They were each beautiful and unique in their own ways. We swam with the sting rays and snorkeled in Grand Cayman. We didn't do any scheduled excursions in Honduras, but we ended up meeting a 10 year old boy named Alvin who showed us around the town. He was adorable. We ended up giving him 5 dollars and an apple (he really wanted it) becuase he was so cute. In Belize we went cave tubing and ate an authentic meal of rice and beans. It was unbelizeable!! And lastly, in Cozumel we went to Tulum and visited the Mayan ruins.

While on the ship, we enjoyed laying out by the pool, eating as much frozen yogurt as we could, playing mini golf, and of course- karaoke! Bryant was the karaoke king and ended up winning the role of Elton John in the ending show. It was a riot!

Hard to sum up 9 days in a few paragraphs, but the West Caribbean is amazing and I recommend it to anyone!

Enjoy some pictures! It will make this post quite long, but I'm not a fan of slideshows, so bear with me!
