Our honeymoon cruise to the Caribbean is officially over. Over 9 days we managed to avoid hurricane Ophelia completely and had nothing but fantastic weather! I think Kelly's first cruise was a success since she has already mentioned booking another. Who's up for a big group cruise?
On top of the usual combination of over-eating, over-sleeping, moderate-drinking (thanks to kelly) and over-lounging, we did make some interesting observations.
1. Taxi drivers in Newark, NJ have no idea how to go from the airport to the cruise port. Apparently a gigantic 3000 passenger cruise ship is easy to miss.
2. When at Grand Cayman, you have to do the Reef and Stingray snorkelling tour. We had an awesome time and got to see lots of fishies, play with the stingrays, and chase after a barracuda (okay, maybe not exactly chase, and more like cautiously stay a safe distance away - underwater pictures to come when developed).
3. Watch out for deadly "sea lice" in the Caribbean. As deadly as sharks and barracudas!
4. I look rediculous in my underwear and someone else's bra...but not quite as rediculous as others. I also don't know how to walk like a woman (I guess not enough practice). *yes, that is lipstick smeared all over my face* For those wondering, I was partaking in the "Quest" gameshow they have on every cruise. If you don't know what this is, you'll have to ask me in person, cause it's too hard to explain here.
5. Some people (American's?) don't work dem fancy cameras good.
