Caribbean Cruise - Grand Cayman

Many of you may know that Troy and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary this October. We decided (well, I informed Troy) that we would be taking a week long Caribbean Cruise. I thought I would share some photos from each of our stops.

Stop #1 - Grand Cayman.
This is a picture from our ship. It is a beautiful island.

There was a pirate boat in the harbor. I thought that was pretty cool (despite the fact that it was filled with a bunch of American tourists). It looked cool from afar.


This is our ship, the Carnival Valor. It looks like it is tilting to the left because all of the fat people had to sleep on the left. Makes sense, right? You should have seen the chaos when the ship turned around and all the fat people had to move all their stuff to the other side of the ship. Not pretty!

This was the most "touristy" of our stops but there were still plenty of gorgeous beaches and warm water to snorkel in. Can you see that large group of people headed toward the sea of blue beach chairs? Those are people from our cruise that paid $40/each to go to the same beach we did. We just hopped in a taxi and said "take us to a nice beach." I guess we didn't get the beach chairs BUT we didn't have to "stay between the cones" either.

Troy is making some snorkeling preparations.

Now for the floating part. Troy is a very good Floater. Another hidden talent that we weren't aware of. I have now captured it on film for all of our posterity.

On our 10 mile walk back to the ship (we like to think we were "sight seeing"), we saw some cool green lizards. I took a picture. There are two of them. Can you see them both? Fun little game, don't you think? At this point, Troy had decided I was completely insane. Who chases lizards through a hedge? Me.

After leaving the beach I started worrying that perhaps I hadn't taken enough pictures of the white, sandy beaches. So, the only place I could still find some of it was....on my feet. See the pretty white sand? I didn't want anyone to miss it. I hope this picture fills any voids the previous pictures may have left.

While walking, we decided we were hungry. We looked to and fro for some authentic Caribbean food. Thank goodness we found some. Caribbean Whoppers are slightly more expensive than American ones. Still quite tasty.


By the time we got back to the port we were soaked. It rained and rained and rained from about mile 6 to mile 10. It had been a long time since we took a walk in the rain together. I think it was a very sweet, romantic (and perhaps chaffing) experience for at least one of us. Ahhh, the memories!


Love you, honey. Happy Anniversary!
(more photos to come)
