The Highlight of our trip--WE WENT PARASAILING!!!
WHOA... we were way out there!.. and what beautiful views
of the Island of St. Thomas!.. Neat pic with the other parasail
right beneath us.. we were hoping our ropes would not get tangled!
awwww.... all is well... and Don is happy and relieved to
be back in the boat safe!... What an experience!..Yeah, we
would do it again!.... Definitely!...
One of the few days it was warm enough at sea to actually
go out and enjoy the sun on the deck!... For the most part our days
at sea were rocky and rough!.... A lot of seasick people those days!
Getting off the ship and going on to the Island of St. Martin--it was hot there!
Arghhhh!.. a REAL Pirate of the Caribbean!!
The beaches in St. Martin were absolutely beautiful.. Weather was wonderful! and people so friendly. Half of the Island is owned by the Dutch and the other half by France. We took a tour
around the whole island and were able to go to a Beach on the "French" side.. (if you know what I mean)...
The last day of the cruise... here we are in Miami.. We had a wonderful time, but were
kind of excited to go back home to Idaho.. even if it is cold and snowy!.. haha.. now we are
having a hard time walking straight.. we keep swaying back and forth like we are still on the ship!..
Cameron, Connor and Tanner were so excited to get their souvenoirs from the Carribbean.. They were pretty impressed that Grandpa and Grandma had been in the area of the Pirates of the Caribbean!
We were excited to get out of the cold and snow and go cruising to the Caribbean....except in Miami it was only 35 degrees and we were freezing before we even got on the boat (and we only brought our shorts--Yikes)! We had a wondeful time! We went with my brother Kelly and his wife Patty...we enjoyed all the port stops at Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, St. Thomas and St. Marten! The beaches were just beautiful and we came home with some nice tans! It was fun getting to know all the people on the ship our waiters and cruise hosts were a lot of fun and made for a memorable experience!
