Finally Home but Picture time

Dan and I are now safely in Bensalem. Finally, I have decent internet so I can upload some pics. I will start with monkeys.

Grand Cayman and Roatan

I'm sorry that I can't update with pictures, but the ship's Internet isn't fast enough for us to do so. We were in Grand Cayman yesterday. The island itself was very much like Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. American chains were all over and it was a very “rich” looking location. Cartier stores abound. Items were considerably cheaper when bought in the Caymans. We really didn't buy much other than Big Black Dick rum. Yes....we had to have it. The beach, however, was unlike anything I have EVER seen before. It was literally like a huge swimming pool. I was in water up to my neck and could still see my feet, crystal clear. The water was warm but not too warm. It was an amazing beach.
I finally relented last night and put on the sea sickness patch. I had be trying to avoid it because it does have some pretty nasty side effects. Beggars can't be chooser. Either constant nausea or dry mouth and drowsiness. The patch it is. I think it's working but I am not sure because we have been asleep or docked for most of the time I have been wearing it. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
We had a storm this morning! I actually woke up because lightning lit up the side of the room so brightly. Storms on the ocean are both beautiful and scary. It seems like you can see lightning so much further away when you are in the middle of the ocean.
Roatan is one of the most beautiful places I have EVER seen in my entire life. It is a very poor country, but it's beauty is unparalleled. Our tour guide, Lionel, met us up at the pier. It was just Dan and I on the tour. We starting driving all around the island. We visited 2 shipwrecks, we got a few souvenirs from local merchants including 2 HUGE conch shells. We stopped at 2 of the beaches and walked around. Dan and I got to hold MONKEYS! The pictures are adorable. I will post them as soon as I can. We ate lunch at Half Moon Cay and it was very very good. We also stopped at an orphanage on the island and were very impressed with the way the children were treated. They were all very happy and loved having visitors.
While the island is very poor for the most part, the people that live on it are very happy. They were very friendly and loved having the visitors. Tomorrow, we go to Belize and I hear people are not so nice.

The Cruise....day 2

I am not so sure that cruising was the best choice for our honeymoon. I have been mildly sea sick for the past almost 48 hours and that is NOT fun AT all. i have tried to make the best of it but it hasn't been so much fun since I am constantly nauseated. I must say however, that the ship is BEAUTIFUL and very comfortable. Our room is of reasonable size (bigger than a hotel room in Manhattan). The food, when I am able to eat, is VERY good. I have had the honor of seeing some of the most breathtaking sights ever so far and I can't wait to see more!

Getting ready to cruise!

Yesterday, we drove from Kissimmee to Ft. Lauderdale. I actually swam in the ocean believe it or not. Unfortunately, I didn't get to take any pictures. We did laundry and last minute shopping for the cruise. :( We are all packed up...don't even ask where we put everything! I have NO idea. I know we have everything but no idea where! We'll have to see later :) Just so everyone knows, we will be unreachable by cell phone. They will get turned off today as soon as we get ready to leave port. We can call from the ship until it leaves but after that, the phone will be off. I may or may not be able to update this blog as we haven't decided if we are getting internet or not yet. We are going to be on the Carnival Valor. If any major emergencies happen, I am sure Carnival can contact the ship but they would have to be major. If not, leave messages on here and we will get them, hopefully. I am pretty nervous about this whole ship thing....ok REALLY nervous. We'll be back in FL on Sunday...until then, Bon Voyage!

Day 5-Epcot Revisited

Dan and I went back to Epcot today and managed to FINALLY get on Test Track. Actually, we got on it twice in half an hour. It was freakin' awesome. We rode Journey to Imagination with Figment AGAIN. Figment is AWESOME. Above is a picture of Dan and I with Figment. We took a ferryboat over to Italy for lunch. I got the fettucini alfredo and Dan the chicken parm. Both were absolutely excellent. The pasta was perfect and it was so rich. We had dessert of a cannoli and mousse and that was also good. I really thought i was going to lose weight at Disney World but uh... I don't think that's happening! We had to walk very quickly to our car to avoid the nasty looking thunderstorm coming our way. It never did hit but the sky looked mighty dark and the lightning was insane! I have never seen lightning like the lightning I have seen down here.

Tonight we found ourselves back at Downtown Disney to finish some shopping. We also ate at the Fish and Chips place again. Tomorrow, we pack up and drive to Ft. lauderdale to get our cruise! We're so excited!!

The Adventurer's Club-Day 4

Dan and I spent the morning in Downtown Disney just walking around and window shopping. I ate the most amazing food ever! They have this fish and chips type place and I got chicken and chips. yuuuuuuuum. Now I want to go to England just for the opportunity to eat some chips. We followed Downtown Disney with another few hours at Typhoon Lagoon just hanging around the lazy river and swimming the wave pool. That place is great for a relaxing afternoon!

We found ourselves back in Downtown Disney at the Adventurers Club. This place was awesome. It was an interactive, improv sort of place that took place back in 1937. We were inducted into the Adventurer's club, kungaloosh!

Day 3 Epcot!
