You might want a drink & snack before clicking.

Husband and I just went on what might go down on records as the best trip in history. We spent a few days in Florida and then went on a cruise to the Caribbean. We came back a little more tan, with a lot of unforgettable memories, and a depleted bank account.  For the casual followers this may seem a little overwhelming but please bear with me my family has been demanding details and pictures.

Day one: Location: Miami! Got a cute little rental car and went exploring. Went to south beach, sang to will smiths song Miami, checked out the shops, went to dash no Kardashian in sight, and went to a ne-yo show. 

Day two: Location: Florida Keys! We talked to some locals and rented some snorkeling gear and headed to the keys. Sang VERY loudly to the beach boys song kocomo, went to annes beach, found a sunken ship, and had key lime pie.

Day three: Location: sea (passing by Cuba) Boarded the ship Valor, had a fun day at sea, thought about London way too much.

Day four: Location: Grand Cayman! Celebrated my birthday! We went on an excursion to sting ray city, pet, kissed, and fed sting rays, then it took us over to a bay with dolphins. We were assigned to Luna and Nemo as our personal dolphins. I really loved them and really want one of my own. We got to pet, kiss, swim, and play with them. So rad.

Day five: Location: Isla Rotan, Honduras! We found a taxi driver that stayed with us for the day, he took us all over the island, we went to tabyana beach, snorkeled, and played with monkeys. We were let in the monkey cages. They were trouble makers. They stole husbands hat and water bottle, and three baby monkeys the size of baby kittens peed all over me. I don't mind they were so cute. Sadly enough our camera died right before we got there. I guess we will just have to do it again. 

Day six: Location: Belize! We went on a cave tubing excursion. We hiked through a jungle and then headed down this river through unbelievable caves on a tube. It was a really neat experience. The stalactites and stalagmites were beautiful, the bats were not.

Day seven: location: Cozumel!  We rented a scooter and explored the town. We went to a beach that had a rock climbing wall in the ocean, kayaks, water trampolines, and wind sailing. We spent most of our time there and did a little local shopping. It was beautiful.

Day eight: location: sea: We spent the day at sea loving the entertainment, and eating far beyond our limits. 

Day nine: location: Orlando! after a very dramatic experience of getting off the ship and leaving my baby blanket on the ship. Nothing a few rule breaking and tears wont fix we headed to Orlando. We stayed with some good friends Alysse and Chasten. We also got to experience a Florida rainstorm.

Day Ten: Location: Disney World! Alysse works at Disney World so we got to spend the day there. It was our first time! There was so much to do you need more than one day there. We got lucky and there were barely any lines. Thank you Alysse!

Day Eleven: Location: Orem! We spent the morning in Orlando at the pool and eating yummy food. We left that night and flew back home. Home sweet home.
  
P.S. I apologize for such a long post. I really just didn't want to forget some of the details. Thank you husband for spoiling me!

  2. Wow! That sounds like an amazing trip. We went on a cruise to those same places for our honeymoon. It was a blast. Although it sounds like you had a much more exciting time before and after the cruise as well!! Jealous.

  3. Oh my goodness... So fun. You hadn't told me about tubing down a river through caves! Wow! And those dolphin pictures have got to be the cutest thing I have ever seen--I have now decided that I definitely need one of those in my life.
