Caribbean Cruise

We are back! It has been such a long time since I blogged, but I have a very good reason why I was slacking... I was in the nice, hot, beautiful 90 degreee Caribbean :-) heehee
We had such a great time! We cruised out of Puerto Rico to Aruba, Curacaou, Dominica, and St Thomas. It was perfect with four days in ports and two days at sea doing nothing. In fact, I think I enjoyed the vacation a bit too much because I gained 6 pounds in a week! Oh well, those virgin pina-coladas and extra desserts were SOOOO worth it.
Here are some highlights from our trip....

Stupid Things We Did
-we almost missed our flight from Atlanta to San Juan because we FELL ASLEEP! Our flight out of Salt Lake was at midnight and we were so tired. We got to Atlanta and had a couple hours so we snuggled into our chairs. I woke to Sean poking me. I looked around at what had been a full terminal to see no one else around. We looked over at the boarding gate to see the sign flashing "Final Boarding" and the two Delta people watching us. Whoops!
-I fell asleep while laying out on the deck the first day. It wouldn't have been a bad thing except I had my big-honkin sunglasses on. Let's just say I had raccoon eyes for a couple days til I could even out the color.
-The tour in Curacou was horrible!! The tour guide barely spoke English and told us about Social Security for 20 minutes. Plus, we ended up at a liquor factory where everybody got completely drunk...
-Sean playing in the game "The Quest." I have been sworn to secrecy, but lets just say that on our last cruise he was hypnotized and did quite the Michael Jackson impersonation. Being hypnotized was NOTHING compared to "The Quest," but you'll have to ask him yourself because there are some images that as a wife you just want to forget...
-While snorkeling in Aruba, Sean used an SPF 50 spray. The spray did not mist like we thought. Instead it simply left crisscross lines acrossed his back. He has quite an interesting sunburn :-)

Fun Things We Did
-snorkeling in Aruba. The boat that we road to the snorkeling places was built in 1905. We got to snorkel over a sunken WWII German ship called the Antilla. And then we got to swing out over the ocean on ropes from the ship. It was so much fun but salt water is AWFUL! Bleh!
-Murder Mystery onboard the cruise ship. Some of the acting was pretty bad, but it was a lot of fun even though both of us got the murderer wrong. Oh well.
-Hato Caves in Curacao (this was the only good part of the HORRIBLE tour). Here are some pics.

Can you see the pirate face?

If I look a bit frenzied it is because there were a bunch of little bats (about the size of mice) flying around us. Yuck.

-River Rafting through the rainforest of Dominica. It was beautiful and SO much fun.

-Going through a little bit of Old San Juan. There was a fort that was built in the 1600s that I could have spent an entire day at. The old city had a European feeling to it with the cobbled roads and the colonial architecture. I will definitely be going back to San Juan!

-Laying out, listening to "The Hunger Games," drinking my virgin pina-colada :-)

Here are some random pics and when I find our other camera I will add in more pictures:-)
