Cruzin’ (Cozumel!)

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Sorry!  Don’t think that I didn’t remember to post the last port of call of the cruise!  Cozumel, Mexico – a land of beautiful blue water (it was really that blue!)

Stephanie loved her fan that she bought, both for the way that she looked when fanning herself, and for the cooling effect.  It was hot, not Cayman Islands hot, but still pretty hot!

Cozumel-4

After the little shopping that we did, we took in lunch at Pancho’s Backyard, a nice little place right close to the port.  If you’re ever in Cozumel, I recommend it.  We even got a free appetizer coupon from our cruise shopping director (that’s that tiny dish in the upper right corner…small, but can’t complain too much, it was free after all!)

We enjoyed this experience of traveling on a ship, can’t wait until we are able to do it again!

Leaving out of Jamaica, the next day in the Cayman Islands.  They said the temperature was only 90, being from Texas, we could take that right?  Wrong!  Walking in the hot sun beat us down, when we got back to the ship; we slept for about 3 hours.

Crusin’ (Jamaica…)

Monday, November 16th, 2009

We arrived in Jamaica on Wednesday.  We had a guided tour arranged for us through our travel agent.  We got to do a little shopping, went up into the mountains to dine on some coconut, pear, and some type of bread I can’t remember the name of.  Then we had some jerk pork at the Pork Pit(great place with some great atmosphere)

Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee….that big bag of Jablum would have cost over a hundred dollars over here, only cost us twenty dollars.  So we took a bag home along with some cigars…

Okay, we couldn’t figure out what this towel animal was.  Even after we bought our towel animal book, we looked all through it and still couldn’t figure out what this was.  Any guesses?

Next stop, Land of Pirates and Stingrays!
