This is going to be a long one. I actually went to the bathroom before writing this because I didn't want to have to get up mid blog and potentially forget something.

We had an amazing time. I did so many things in a week that it's going to be hard to remember everything. It was great to be "detached" from the rest of the world for awhile. No phone, no computer, no real concept of time.  Here some pics of when we first got on board:

The next day we were at sea. These are pictures from the formal night:

The middle one is funny. Some random drunk kid in a tux started talking to Chrissy and they broke out in the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart".

The next day we were in Cozumel. It was also Chrissy's birthday. We decided to walk around and check out some shops and bars. It was a good time. I don't drink tequila EVER so I got pretty crazy. So did everyone else. Chrissy and I missed dinner that night. haha

The next day we went to Belize. Dave and I booked a Land Rover and Cave Expedition excursion and spent the day doing that. It was AMAZING. Belize is such a beautiful place and I'm so glad we went on this tour. We had a great time:

The next day we were in Costa Maya. We went on a Snuba dive there, which was the excursion Dave wanted to go on. It was ok, but definitely not as good as the Land Rover tour we did in Belize. I didn't like being attached to a boat and actually got tangled up by other people's cords. I didn't see any fish either. Apparently it wasn't a good day. After snuba, we took a taxi to the town and walked around, did a bit of shopping, and got a half hour massage for only $10. I had more fun walking around the town then I did doing snuba. Unfortunately, all my pictures were taken with a film camera that we could use underwater. I haven't developed them yet.

We had another sea day after Costa Maya and another formal night:

The last day we were in Nassau. We had fun walking around town, going to the straw market, and then taking a ferry boat to Paradise Island were the amazing Atlantis Hotel is:

I just want Saturday to be here already. I can't wait to get on that boat and relaaaaax. The week has been going faster than I expected it to go actually. Usually the week before you are about to go away somewhere drags on forever, but I've had some things at work and stuff to do at home to keep me busy.

It dawned on me the other day that I don't think I have shorts to wear. I might have two pairs that aren't gym shorts. I never wear shorts because I hate the way my legs look, but it might be a necessity in tropical weather. I'll have to dig them up for days when we'll be out and about.

I'm almost done with Twilight. I'm still deciding whether or not I like the book. I like the story a lot, but I'm not too fond of the way Stephanie Meyer writes. I think the characters need to be developed more and I always find myself re-reading certain parts of dialogue because I'm not sure who said what. It's not like if I hated it I would stop reading it though. Once I start a book have to finish. And I usually finish quick, within a week most of the time depending on how long the book is. I read quite a bit of it last night because the story was getting really good. I'm sure I'll end up reading all the other books because I'm curious to see what happens.
