Day 3 and 4 of our Cruise Aruba and Bonaire

This is the view from our balcony room. It was amazing to see the sun come up and the sun come down from the privacy of your own room!! AMAZING!
This is a picture of us at the formal dinner. The other couple at our table was Ashley and Richard. We had a large table but there was only 4 of us there so we got to know each other pretty well.


Here we are at Aruba. It was sooo hot that day and with 100% humidity and the temperature was 95 it was ruff~! This was also Jeff's Birthday so we tried to make the best day of it we could!. We also had an extra dessert at night mmmm chocolate!! Happy B-Day Jeff. We also saw a comedy show later that night, Cary Long, and it was so funny GREAT DAY!!

Aruba had beautiful landscaping right around the dock area.

This picture is my favorite, its a palm tree with another tree growing on the side of it. I would love that in my yard!!
This is the Princess ship we are on, it is HUGE!!! We could never get the boat in a whole picture LOL.
Some of the buildings were beautiful!!

We had to stop and get a drink we were so hot it was insane!! I thought Id sweat to death! But I kept reminding myself at least it is not snowing!!
Jeff our first day at sea put sun screen on but forgot his legs OUCHIE!!! So needless to say we limited our sun time. It was bad for a few days!
This is the view from the deck outside the ship. I was amazing to see the ship leave the dock and set sale. In the picture you can see where they put the docking cables, kinda neat.
This guy was late getting to the dock. You are suppose to be there at a specific time and he was like 1 hour late. The ship was actually dropping the cables but they took pity on him and opened a hatch, lucky guy!!
Talk about beautiful sunsets!!!!
The next day we went to Bonaire which is nicknamed the Flamingo island. We did not see any but that is okay the water was Gorgeous!!
Everywhere we went we saw lizards and some were HUGE!!
I cant get over the water it was amazing. We actually could see fish swimming.
After our hot day on the island we went swimming. There was a swimming pool on the very back end of the ship and this is a picture from our chairs. I love this picture because it just shows how high we are and that the view is amazing. After swimming we got room service for lunch and it was sooo good and sooo nice to just have it delivered to your room!!
This is another view of the other pool, etc from the top balcony of the ship. This ship was huge but super nice!! Later that night they had a game after dinner called Family feud. Just like the TV show and so we went to see it because Jeff likes game shows. It was actually kinda good.
Later that night there was a tropical party and they had food sculptures. They were neat!
So I just have one question for you... Where is Waldo's Cousin???? Anyone??? LOL

Day 1 and 2 of our Cruise

Jeff and I were so excited to be able to go on a cruise. The morning of the first day it was so nice and warm out and we could not wait to get on the ship. We took a cab to the dock and got in line. You are not suppose to be let on the ship until 2pm but we showed up at 11:30am. They let us into a buliding to wait, thank goodness it was air conditioned. I was so happy for warm weather but sweating just standing is not fun either! The line went quite quickly and we checked in just fine. We went to duty free and bought 2 bottles of alcohol for $10 each which is super cheap. We were able to take it onto the ship in our bags. We get on the ship and there are crew members there to take you to your floor and show you where your room is. We decided to splurge and we got a balcony and it was amazing!!! Well worth the money. Jeff and I checked out our room and then we headed straight to the lunch buffet LOL... Why not we both did not eat breakfast, we wanted to wait and eat lunch free lol. This is us from the dining area next to the window... amazing!
After lunch we started to explore the ship. We went to the back of the ship and the view was amazing. We went all over and it took several hours to see everything. Late at night we had what is called the Muster Drill. Its where everyone gets on their life vests and meet at a certain area for safety information. Arent we cute!!! After that we got ready for the late dinner and the food was amazing! I also got two desserts that first night, shhhh dont tell anyone!

San Juan, Puerto Rico Honeymoon for Jeff and I


Jeff and I flew into San Juan on Feb 27, 2010. We stayed at a hotel right on the ocean for the first night before our cruise. This picture is from our hotel room, the view was nice but the hotel was horrbile. Very musty and wet in the room becuase of the ac. I could not get warm to save my life becuase everything was damp, it was terrible!! But the view was great!! This was the 2nd time seeing the ocean in my life and it was amazing!





We went to get dinner later that night and got some great mexican food and it tasted so good. It was a tiny bar and we got seated next to the window. These next pictures are taken from our table. It was amazing to eat and see the ocean and listen to the sounds.!!
