Jeff and I went on a cruise for 7 days to the Western Caribbean. By ourselves, no kids! The boys got to spend 13 days at "camp grandma" and had lots of fun!
We flew to Tampa, Florida and had about half a day to hang out there before we headed for the ship. Then, after the cruise, we had 2 days in Florida before heading back to California where we stayed another 4 days before coming home! We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks, a long time to be away from home, but had fun every second!!
Our stops on the ship were Grand Cayman Islands, Belize, Central America and Isla Roatan, Honduras. It was beautiful everywhere we went!! But, our favorite was Honduras! It was so beautiful and the people were so nice! We snorkeled in all three stops, we also kayaked, ate and shopped!!! We had so much fun on our much needed vacation!!
It is so hard to choose pictures to put on here! We took over 700 pictures over the 2 1/2 weeks we were gone! But, here are a few with some spectacular sites we saw as well as a few of us! We also took just under 100 underwater pictures so I will post those when I get them put on the computer! You can also see more pics on my facebook page!
I also want to shout out a big "thank you" to Amy Pratt at ytb travel for all her help planning this trip! Thanks Amy for being a great travel agent and friend!!
