January Cruise... Finally!

-
I know, I know, another long delay in posts.

By now, you may already know that Robin and I had a great week's get-a-way in January. We cruised seven days out of Miami with four fantastic stops.

Caymen
First, was Grand Caymen. We did an underwater walk, but didn't want to risk our camera, so we used a disposable, that we haven't developed yet. It was a really neat outing, after which we walked to seven mile beach and back, found a little restaurant that overlooked the bay, and headed back on board.

Roatan
Stop two was Isle of Roatan. We weren't greatly adventurous here, but that's ok, the day was fantastic! We took a ski lift to a beach that was minutes from our dock. As you can see from the pictures, we were among the first there, but it did fill up. Amazing sand and water, and equally amazing banana beverages!

Belize
We had an afternoon snorkel trip, which gave us some time in the morning to check out the shops near the peer. This and Caymen were "tender ports" which means we actually stepped from our boat to a small boat that took us ashore. That was a small adventure by itself.

We'd made friends of Ed and Karen, and they were on the snorkel trip with us, which included a stop at a man made island on the way back. Way fun day, and a great chance to use our waterproof camera - thanks mom!!!

Cancun
We'd been to Cancun a couple times, so there wasn't much to report or take pictures of here.... that and..... well.... many of the pictures taken weren't really to be shared. Ed - I'll mail you a CD, those pictures shouldn't even be emailed!

Overall, we had a great trip. Links below will show some of the sights of the Carnival Valor, our newest friends, Ron & Betty and Ed & Karen, and of course, the nightly bed buddy called a towel critter:
