Saturday, March 21, 2009

So, it's been an eternity since I wrote anything on the blog. I am going to try and post some photos and stuff in the next few days. I am on the wrong computer right now.

I was really wondering if any of you sisters are interested in another freezer-meal-making day. I thought we could make a few extra for Emily and Renee. I know we had a few flops the last time through, but I think with careful planning and reflecting on the last time we did this, we could be more successful. Anyone up for a day of fun and hard work. My feelings won't be hurt if no one wants to do that again. Let me know. Love you guys! -Jen
Here is a video I took with my Pentax that came out pretty cool.  We were diving through some caves and around lots of rocks with undercuts.  it was so fun!

I have been having fun taking pictures from our balcony of the sunsets.  Some of them have come out pretty good.  It is like having a beautiful painting on our living room wall every night.

THE CRUISE

I've been promising a travelogue,
so here it goes.

Lisa & Gary conquering the rock wall.
Very, very cool -
in spite of the smelly stink blowing downwind from the smokestack.

YEP - inside the ship.
Our favorite towel animal.
Thanks Babette.

Belize City, Belize

After tendering from the ship into Belize City we drove for about an hour to Jaguar Paw Park and spent the day cave-tubing and zip-lining.
You know, stuff we would never do in real life.


Cave-tube train
Melodee, Lisa, & Jane from Edmonton
Out of one cave and into another.
This was fun...sort of like the old Mesa tree house line...
only there was no trampoline to land on...
only a small Mexican man to stop you.
(Notice the cool platforms.)


Costa Maya, Mexico

Being indulgent is exhausting,
so we spent our day in Costa Maya relaxing on the beach.

And when sitting became too exhausting,
Gary found another way to relax.

Couldn't resist -
$20 got his 40 min massage and then 15 minutes on my feet. Aaahh...

This isn't an add for skin cancer prevention -
I only include it so that you can see the monster of a ship we were on.



The happy couple overlooking Costa Maya
after a great day of doing nothing.

Cozumel, Mexico

The $11 for the 30 minute ferry ride from Cozumel to the mainland
should have included a big bucket for each rider - it was BAD!

TULUM
Mike & Melodee
Gary & Lisa
Kristen & Mike (from Orem). We don't know them - do any of you?

more Tulum
For all the pesos in our pockets
we got this sweet ride back to the ferry
courtesy of Jalepeno.
If only Jalepeno could have gotten us back to Cozumel...
oh, that nasty ferry!
Last night on the ship. I'd say it worked -
we look more relaxed and ready to face reality again...
until the next cruise anyway!


Ft. Lauderdale Airport-
5 hour wait for our plane -
only available seats.
Wheelchair races anyone?
