Well our vacation has come to an end :( We got back Monday evening and ever since then I have been trying to get use to the "real world" again. Its so depressing going back to work after being off for 12 day! We literally had to soak up the sun because we were welcomed home wth temperatures in the 60's! I usually don't want summer to end, but I am ready for fall. After living in arkansas last fall, I am in love with it! It is so pretty and I love watching all the trees change!
But anyways... we had a wonderful time and here is our trip in a nutshell. There is no way I could blog about the whole thing...
We boarded the boat sunday, and we were suppose to leave that afternoon, but got delayed because of the storm. So we didn't end up leaving until around 6:30 that evening. We spent the fist two days at sea, and it was so nice to relax. This picture pretty much sums up how we spent our days at sea...
And yes, we have the same swim suit on..ha we both came out wearing it one day! That wasn't the only thing we had the same on the trip either ha... we have come to find out over the past year that we are so alike in so many ways its scary ha!
Wednesday was our first stop and it was Jamaica!!!! We all love Jamaica... I mean we must since it was our second time back! I have such a heart for Jamaica and love it so much. There is something about the atmosphere and people that you cant understand unless you've been there. Its awesome!
We went horseback riding while we were there and it was so fun!!
Not only did we get to go on a long trail ride but...
We also got to ride through the ocean!! It was one of the coolest things I have ever done!
Thursday, we arrived at Grand Cayman!!! None of us had ever been there and, lets just say we all want to go back! I love Jamaica, but this island was so different, and so clean! It had such a different atmosphere of Jamaica. The water was the prettiest water I have ever seen!! I am not exaggerating one bit- it was the bluest water I have ever seen.
The pictures do not do justice. It looked like something off a postcard that wasn't even real. We went snorkeling and I am so glad we chose grand cayman to snorkel at!! Our tour guide said there water is so clear because they are one of the only places that has no outside water from river, streams, etc coming in. You cold literally stand on the boat and see the bottom of the ocean. I think we talked about how clear and blue the water was for days ha!
We first snorkeled a sunken ship..which was really neat.. and then we got to snorkel the great barrier reef and it was by far my favorite part of our trip! It was so neat to be under the water with so much colorful coral and fish all around you!!
The disposable underwater camera doesn't quite capture the picture that great, but it was beautiful! If there was one thing I recommend, it is to snorkel in grand cayman.. so worth it!!!
The last port was Mexico. We did a deluxe beach resort where they took us to a beach with water sports and all the food and drinks you want! It was nice to relax and just lay out! We got in the water some, the boys more than us, but it wasn't very clean in mexico. It was really pretty and blue far out, but up on the shore it was dirty!
Then we spend two more days at sea! I loved be at sea and I love the fancy dinners at night!
Jamaica has the most gorgeous sunsets!!
Everything was so fun and I cant wait for our next trip!!! These are just a few pics.. between the four of us we had 6 cameras and 3 of those were digital, so we took tons of pics ha!! I will post the rest of the pictures on facebook shortly!!!
Have a wonderful week!!
