Western Caribean Cruise on Carnival "Dream" January 9-16

Kirt and I went on a 7 day cruise with some friends, Dave and Ingrid Frey and Joel and Leanne Peterson. We left Saturday afternoon. Sunday was a day at sea. The next 4 days we had port stops and then Friday was the trip home. We got off the boat early Saturday morning. It was lots of fun. The weather was not the best, I did not come home with the tan I wanted, but it was still very enjoyable. Thanks Jon and Michelle for watching our kids so we could go!

Cozumel

On Monday we stopped in Cozumel and rented dune buggies. We rode to a cavern where we went swimming and cliff jumping.




Roatan

Tuesday we took a tour of the island of Roatan. It is a small island off the the coast of Honduras. We were going to snorkel but it was too cold.




Belize

Wednesday we were in Belize and went on a cave tour. We rode inner tubes down a river through a cave. We took pictures with a water proof camera that we may someday develop.

Costa Maya

On Thursday we went to Mayan ruins in Costa Maya. We also had lunch with a Mayan family and got to learn how to make corn torillas.





And of course the other fun things that go along with cruises. Eating, eating and more eating (and not cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc.), the fun towel animals made by the room stewards (plus having your room cleaned 2 times a day), and all the neat activities that are available onboard. Kirt played basketball in 50 mile an hour winds.

I'm impressed with the swiftness of the post! You must have been bored in Orlando:) Looks like you had a ball. I will try not to be too jealous. Hopefully, your trip home was uneventful and you got big hugs from your cute kids!
