Trip Highlights

Husband and I went on a trip a few weeks ago to Tampa FL for a friend's wedding. The weather was a little cold but the wedding was nice. We stayed an extra night and then left the next day for a five night Caribbean cruise with Carnival. As our first cruise we were pretty excited. I'd say that it was a good time and I would go on a cruise again, but a longer one for sure. Also, even knowing this going in, having to pay for your drinks is rough. The last trip we went on like this was an all inclusive resort, and that spoils you. Now if they would make an all inclusive cruise...

So, here are some picture highlights for your viewing pleasure:

Us on the beach before the wedding [kinda cold out...even for FL]; the married couple, so cute and happy :-)


Our boat- Carnival Inspiration- our room was allllllllll they way on the end, lowest deck of rooms, very comfy and nice. Bathroom was pretty ok- except it is virtually impossible to shave your legs in a shower the size of a linen closet. Different towel animal towel animal every night, seal, dog, elephant, bunny, and sting ray.
The town of Hell in Grand Cayman, we visited the town post office, you could send mail from Hell which was very cool. The rest of these pics are from Cozumel, Mexico. Very pretty, don't need to go back. Shopping isn't all that, and they hound you so much [in a nice way...] but it really puts you off to actually shopping- too much pressure. We did enjoy a mile or so walk down the road, stopping for increasingly expensive beers as we got closer to our ship. $1.50, $2, then $3, still cheaper than the boat.

Good trip, hard to come back to reality. Still felt like I was on a boat for a few days, especially when getting out of bed for some reason.
