We recently got back from a 7-day Caribbean Cruise! It was a blast- so relaxing, entertaining, and well deserved. We ported out of Ft. Lauderdale, cruised to a private island- Princess Cays in the Bahamas, then to St. Maarten, St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, Grand Turk, then back to Ft. Lauderdale. We were very impressed with the great entertainment they had on the ship, the variety of food, and great service provided by every staff member. It was great.
Before we left, I looked up the weather predicted for the Caribbean, and it wasn't looking too good. It said it was supposed to rain most of the days. Well- it did rain, but very sporadically. It was great weather actually- in the low 80's most of the time.. so not too hot, but with a breeze and sparse showers that cooled everything off. It was overcast the last couple of days, but it was still nice.
So- silly story for ya. The morning we were leaving for our cruise, I woke up with a fat lip!! Who knows how I got it... but it was huge and very annoying and it kind of hurt. We came to the conclusion that my "underground zit" (as I call them) was the culprit. I think it just swelled up and inflated my lip somehow. This has never happened to me before, and I've had MANY "underground zits" that have NEVER done that before. So that was kinda crazy, funny, annoying, and inconvenient. With several doses of Benadryl and many drowsy moments, it was back to normal after a couple days. We just thought it was so unusual and ironic that it happened the morning of our cruise. On first pictures, you'll be able to see my swollen lip.
Now, I know there are TONS of pictures, but there were just way too many to choose from. Ha. Sorry. But then I figured who doesn't like looking at pretty pictures of the Caribbean?

At Grand Turk. This was the best snorkeling island we had been to. We saw a barracuda! Yikes.. but no harm done-- it was just chillin in one spot. I was watching these really pretty bright purply-blue fish eating. Their teeth looked like horse's teeth- they were huge! haha.. it was pretty funny. And SO cool to see and be underwater in the fish's habitat. I could stay under there forever if my skin didn't get so pruned. hehe.

The pictures are great!!! You must have had a wonderful time,,,I am so jealous, I should have hid in one of the suitcases. The Caribbean is my absolute most fav place on earth. I am so happy that you were able to have such a great time!!!!!
That looks so beautiful there. I am jealous too. I have tried to convince Nathan to go on a cruise, and he thinks he has no desire to just sit on a boat. I will have to show him your pics to convince him that that is not at all what you do. Glad you had fun. Can't wait to see you at Christmas time...
How DANG fun is that! I LOVED the two cruises I have been on... I say if you do a vaca do a cruise! Maybe someday we'll do one to the carribean... it looks beautiful! Glad you had a great time... and you still look amazingly beautiful even with a fat underground zit lip! :)
