Welcome to the Carnival Elation!
Our room (on the bottom floor. It was exactly 88 stairs up anytime we went anywhere. That was our deal with each other--we ate whatever we wanted, but we never took the elevator. Worked out OK. Upon actually weighing myself today it was only 1/2-1 lb I gained...lol):
Hubs taking in the sunset the first night (still cold in Alabama-bummer!)
We had gorgeous sunsets every night...
My view from the "adults only" deck on the back of the ship. We spent a lot of time sitting back there in the chairs or in the hot tubs. Heavenly.
Before dinner some night. :)
At our formal dinner. We had delicious shrimp and Chris had lobster tail. I had a steak.
In Progresso I got an hour long massage out on the beach (under a tent thing) for $20. I could hear the waves crashing, a mariachi band playing and Chris sat under the cabana near me. It was the absolute most relaxed I've ever been in my life. I got up walked 5 feet to where he was, and we had the best Mexican food I've ever eaten--a pile of fresh guacamole and pico de gallo, steak fajitas and veggies, fresh made chips and tortillas and delicious margaritas with tons of fresh lime! {I might be salivating right now thinking about it.}
In Cozumel we went on a zip-lining excursion. It wasn't what I had envisioned, but it was A LOT of fun. And, since it was just us and one other couple, they let us go through it all twice!
In Cozumel, sitting on some Mayan something-or-other {Chris should have left the hat on--just sayin'}.
Some Mayan Indians in Cozumel. I took this picture after we talked with the kids from a coffee shop with a wi-fi hotspot. We were able to facetime on our iphones (I left mine with my mom--it's like skype). It was so great to see them, but they started crying {and I may or may not have as well} and we were ready to come home right then!
I'm the rootin-ist tootin-ist cowgirl...Yee-haw!
Chris generously sharing his coca-cola light with the donkey.
Waiting on dinner--more guacamole! {Notice the crazy sunburn under my neck-yowza!! That was only from a couple of hours! Oops, guess I shouldn't have fallen asleep. :)
Goofball, "pulling" the ship in. :)
The ship was SO big!
Goodbye, Mexico!
I simply had to get a drink with an umbrella! It was called a "kiss on the lips"--yum!
We definitely spent some time at the sushi bar. After eating it every night I am positively craving a spicy tuna roll!!
Yum!
mini-golf CHAMP!!
Another beautiful sunset--sure love my husband!
Chris and I had such a wonderful time getting away on our cruise!! :) Thanks again, mom and dad, for keeping the kids, thus making it possible for us to get away! (and extra blessings on my poor mom who was a bit sick herself taking care of Ryan. He kept spiking fevers, though thankfully, no croupy stuff!).
