Our cruise to Paradise; it wasn't long enough...

I have had some request for the pictures of our latest adventure: The Caribbean Cruise

Come and relive the cruise with me:Friday Nov. 9th - We are heading for the airport bright and early

On the plane and off to Dallas, TX. for one layover then to San Juan.
Let the vacation begin!

a picture about 30,000 feet above ground. Almost to Paradise...

This is what we wake up to the Following morning; this is the view from our hotel room in San Juan. It was something you would see in a movie and it was HOT and Humid. Beautiful!

We went out sight seeing in San Juan and there were pretty stores:

The story about the pictures is: First notice what store it is...Louis Vuittion, I wanted to go in, but even more so get my picture on the stairs. Now, look in the door way, see the man, well, he won't let me go in. I must have been TOO GOOD to go in there is what I wanted to think. How dare he, I so wanted to pull a "pretty woman" and show him he made a mistake.
Anyways, I will Never buy anything L. Vuittion again, it just proved to me just how spoiled celebs are and how they are so snobbish.

Anyways, I was on vacation and I was out to have fun.

Sat. night: the first dinner experience on the ship. Oh my, first the food is so great. It is 5 star quality and you get all you want of whatever you want. Not only did it look pretty, it tasted the best. When people talk about food on a cruise, they are not joking it is good!

On the first night, they go over safe rules and what to do if the ship is going to sink, Can you tell Dan and I are really listening. This is what we would have looked like if the ship was going down. Can you see the fear?

Sunday Nov. 11 This is what we saw when we opened the door to our balcony from our room. We sailed all night from San Juan to St. Tomas.

Our first excursion was helmet diving:

this what under the sea looks like:
and this is what Dan and I would look like as Tellie Tubbies

We got to walk along the bottom of the sea, we were about 30-40 feet down. There really is a whole other world down there. It was amazing, something I will always remember.

Later that evening, Dan is really enjoying his tropical drink. It tastes better there then at any local restaurant, it is made with the freshest and yummy fruits of the local island.



On the ship, every night they have Vegas styles of shows, well this night I was in the front row and it was a Motown music show, well I was the one and only pulled up on stage. My moment of fame, I loved it and wasn't going to let it go to waste. They sang me "'My girl" and poor Dan was the most embarrassed of all. It was the night my inner entertainer was born.

The remaining time on the ship, people would recognize me. I was not-so famous on a Cruise ship. Simon from American Idol would have been so proud.




Monday: Golf Anyone? Dan got to play on one of the most beautiful course ever and while he played, I relaxed at the spa on the ship.

Monday was the island of St. Kitts

The "Princess" herself.
This was home for the week, I think we ruled the seas in this thing.

Wed. We were in Grenada, this was Dan's favorite island.

Here is Dan ready to go and explore the seas of Grenada; what will he see?

I was feeding the fish above and Dan was in the water, This is his view.

Desserts that night at dinner... There was 6 of us at the table and we ended up with 15 desserts between us! Yummy for us!!!

Wed. we were at Bonaire!

This is how we spent our Wed. afternoon; rough I know!

The water was like a bath tub and so clear. You could see all the way down. We were able to find some fun and beautiful treasures in the waters there.

Me enjoying the desserts on Wed. night

Thursday morning; Aruba!

We shopped and walked around the city.

This was us on one of the formal nights.

We are so happy and so in love with each other. I am one lucky girl.

I got the best man out there, and I am not just saying that because we are on a cruise, I say it because it is the truth. Love you Babe!



A post card view outside our balcony on Saturday morning.

We are back in San Juan.
I want to wake up to this every morning!!!

Like they say; "All good things must come to an end."

Dan is walking off the ship onto dry land where reality awaits us.

Well, that was our week of Paradise in a nut shell or a sea shell in this case.

What a fun time we had and made some great memories. I would recommend a Cruise to anyone, in fact every time we look at the pictures we long from another one. We want to go again soon.
Anytime anyone wants to go, we are game and count us in.

Ok, so in cause you wonder where were the kids, I had the best babysitter of all time watching them. Thanks Jenny. The kids loved you, I love you, and just to let you know, I could have stayed another week. You truly are the best, there are not too many people like you out there.

Cruise anyone???
