Oh how I love Honduras. We woke up early to get off the boat to soak up the sun and enjoy all that Mohagany Bay and Roatan had to offer. Unfortunately the weather had other plans. It was POURING rain when we woke up so we decided to wait it out for a bit. Went back to sleep for a couple hours and when we got up it was still coming down.
After eating some lunch the rain had let up a little and we wanted to at least check out the beach so we hopped on the magic flying chair and headed over. We got so lucky that the sun came out so we rented some beach chairs and water floats and went and enjoyed playing in the ocean.
After we splashed around we just relaxed and hung out in the shade of the trees and looked around. I finished reading Catching Fire by the end of the day.
We got back to the boat just before it started to rain again and got ready for dinner. Turned out that we missed the show during our dinner so we decided to just go back to our room and watch a movie and watched Horton Hears a Who and Alan could not stop cracking up. After the movie it was time for the Mexican Fiesta but it wasn't all that great. Luckily we went in our jammies and now its time to get some sleep before Costa Maya tomorrow. We are hoping we can get on the mini boat excursion and have our fingers crossed but right now it is sold out so pray that someone doesn't show up so we get go instead!
So heres to today...to the weather permitting a great afternoon on a beautiful beach, to Catching Fire capturing my imagination, to fiestas in jammies and Alans endearing laugh. Thankful for today.
We are such lazy bums. We had our alarms set this morning and hit snooze one too many times since we stayed up way to late watching movies and reading. We didn't roll out of bed until noon. We were able to be out until 5:30 so we really should have tendered over but there isn't much to today at the port without doing an excursion.
We decided to hang out by the pool again and rest up for Honduras tomorrow. We are DEFINITELY getting off the boat tomorrow though. We want to go to the beach since we did the monkeys last time so that should be really fun.
This picture pretty much sums up the day. I was able to read almost all of the Catching Fire and now I am super pumped to see the movie. I forgot how much I love to read. It was nice to just hang out and explore the boat. We did a few of the activities on the boat today and just hung out and had a good time. Ate lots of food and took a nap.
After dinner we went to the show and it was a dance show and it was honestly the best show I have ever watched on a cruise. The dancers were incredible and some of the things they did were awesome. They even had a trampoline on stage.
Tomorrow we will be in Roatan and after a few days of relaxing we are ready to get off the boat and have a blast.
So heres to today...to hitting snooze, to a good book, to naps, to hanging out with my hubs, and to a great dance show. Thankful for today.
Since I was still feeling pretty lousy and because we had seen most all there is to see in Cozumel we decided to take advantage of a nearly vacant boat and use today to just relax. We slept in and then went and got some lunch and hung out in Serenity all day. I read the end of Hunger Games (I was inspired to finish after watching the movie) which was quite a feat since I had only read the first 6 chapters.
Alan got fried in the hot tub so hopefully that wont put a damper on our trip but we really had a good time today just taking it easy. We even took a little cat nap before dinner. It was lovely. Dinner as always was delicious and it was elegant night so I got to wear my sequin skirt! I got a lot of compliments on it too so that was super fun. Our awesome server made us some love birds out of napkins which we thought were so cute we took them back to our room.
After dinner we went to the show and it was really good. I love that the entertainment is different on the different boats. Then we made a pizza and ice cream run and settled in for snuggles and movie. Tomorrow we will be in Belize which is so beautiful so hopefully we can figure out something to do.
So heres to today...to sleeping in, to a relaxing day pool side, to sunburns to show we had a fun day in the sun, to finishing a good book, to elegant night with a homemade skirt and to late night snacks. Thankful for today.
During our day at sea today it was really choppy and I got violently sea sick. Anyone who knows me knows that I do not throw up. I got food poisoning and didn't throw up. Well today I did. It sucked and so we spent almost the whole day laying in bed. I couldn't get myself to really eat and when I did I lost my lunch to the sea sickness. It didn't affect Alans appetite though....
Alan ended up buying me the oil you put behind our ears and it seemed to really help. We spent the day watching the movies on TV. Luckily they were pretty decent. After watching Hunger Games and Mirror Mirror along with a few random shows when we channel surfed it was time for dinner. Luckily, I was feeling a lot better and was able to get some dinner down.
We skipped the show because I still wasn't feeling too great and we wanted to get some rest before Cozumel tomorrow. Still haven't decided if we are going to do an excursion since we have already done nearly all of them on previous trips. Guess we will see what tomorrow brings!
So heres to today...to overcoming sea sickness, to snuggling up to movies all day, to my hubby taking good care of me and to being able to eat. Thankful for today.
The flight was miserable. I was still getting over the end of a cold so I was really congested and for some reason it makes it a million times worse on a flight. I was pouring snot of my nose and could not breathe. This went on throughout the entire night. The poor people sitting around me were probably wanting to punch me in the face for blowing my nose non stop. I don't blame them I wanted to punch myself in the face.
Our flight from Charlotte into Orlando was delayed. First we had to de ice which made our departure 40 minutes behind and then we fought a head wind the entire flight putting us back another hour and a half. So when we thought we were going to have to wait a couple hours for the bus at 10:30 since our flight was supposed to get in at 8:30 we were sadly mistaken.
Our flight landed at 10:35 and we knew we only had one shot to get to the bus cause if it left without us it meant we would have to find our own way and it was $50 to get a ride to the boat. We went rushing through the airport trying to figure out where to go and ended up going the wrong way and made a very long detour. Luckily everyone else was coming from the same place and the bus was delayed so we were able to get on.
As soon as we got on the boat I was ready to take a long nap but I knew we had to do the drill so we just ate and hung out until after the drill and then went to bed until dinner. It was so nice to just sleep peacefully.
Dinner was delicious and our servers are great. We went to the welcome aboard show and the ship is just incredible. Its by far the best boat we have been on to date. We are so excited for this week its a long needed escape from reality and I missed Alan so much last week it will be great to just spend some quality time together.
So heres to today...to surviving a red eye, to barely making the bus, to a heavenly nap, to a sweet ship we get to enjoy all week and to VACATION! Thankful for today.
Today was a whirlwind. From the moment I woke up I have been going non stop. I had mounds of assignments to finish before we leave tonight on our red eye and only so many hours in the day to complete it. I hardly had the time to even shower or eat.
After countless hours of homework I had to hurry and shower and get ready for a dance performance I needed to go to for my elementary dance class. It was put on by Danceworks at BYU. It was seriously the cutest thing ever and I am so glad we had the opportunity to go.
Getting there was so stressful though. I didn't have time to complete a few pretty big assignments that I wasn't going to be able to turn in late and wasnt going to have the opportunity to do at layovers we had because I didn't have the software on my ipad to watch some of the videos. By the time we got to the performance I was already stressed out of my brains and exhausted from staring at the screen all day and cramming for tests that I was at my wits end. I was ready to just get through the dance performance and get on with our vacation.
I knew we had a long night of flying ahead of us so when we got up to the ticket counter a few minutes past the start of the show and they said they needed cash I lost it. Who carries cash around anymore? Well we didn't have any so we had to go back out and walk the 10 minutes to our car and then run to the bank and come back. I got way too emotional and stressed and starting tearing up because I knew we would be missing a good chunk of the show but Alan held it together for me and we made it with only miss a few of the numbers.
I am so glad we went because we had a blast and it all worked out. After the performance we had to run straight home and throw everything into a bag (needless to say I did not pack very well) and then run over to get Lindsay so he could drive us to the airport.
I WAS EXHAUSTED. When we got through security and to our gate I welcomed netflix with open arms and dove into my Vampire Diaries world flushing out the rest of the day. Now its time to board our flight. Its going to be a long night and the weather is horrible so pray for us!
So heres to today...to getting ALMOST everything done, to a darling dance performance, to Vampire Diaries and to a red eye flight flying us to freedom. Thankful for today.
Alan and I are about to head to SLC to jump on our flight to Orlando for our cruise. We are really excited. I will not have internet access for a week BUT I still need to make sure I am "blogging" so I am going to write it down and then I will post it when I get home. It counts right? I think so.
Today all I did was homework ALL day long to try and make sure I don't get too behind or flunk any of my classes. We just got back from a dance performance at BYU and it was the most adorable thing I have ever seen.
I am going to miss my pups so much but they will be in good hands as will the house.
So here's to today...to heavy homework, to red eye flights and to warm weather! See you guys in a week! Thankful for today.
