GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS (THURSDAY)


The Cayman Islands was probably the highlight of our trip. The things we did there were just amazing. We started by swimming with the STINGRAYS. I was nervous because all I had ever heard was how there are just so many that they bombard you. We didn't have that problem. There were definitely stingrays but not the hundreds that everyone talked about. I was still a little over whelmed but by the end, I held a little one. On our way out to the Stingray SandbarAll Rylan cared about when we talked about this trip was that Mom and Dad would be swimming with the Stingrays.


The waterproof camera got a little foggy, but I am holding a male stingray!
On our way back our guide stop and picked up a Sea Star



The Dolphin Swim was my favorite. I think we can all say it was an amazing experience. We spent about 45 minutes actually interacting with our Dolphin LUNA.

COZUMEL, MEXICO (FRIDAY)

In our last stop Cozumel, none of the excursions looked to exciting so Bob and Vaunette went to look at some Ruins and Jordan, Jennifer, Jeff and I went to Paradise Island. It really wasn't Paradise but it was something to do, right. We were supposed to take a Catterman, which Jordan was pretty excited about, but rally it was just a water taxi. We did get to see dolphins swimming in the wild though.

As you can see I didn't take any pictures

DAY AT SEA (SATURDAY)

This is what most of our sunsets looked like. Now that we have taken a cruise with a balcony I don't think we will ever not have one. We spent at least an hour every night just sitting and talking on the balcony.We all had rooms in a row, so we spent a lot of time with our heads around the wall talking to our neighbors.

This was girls night, boys night. Each night we kind of played musical chairs with dinner, it was nice to get to chat with someone different each night.

After dinner we usually walked around the ship
