tHe hoNeYmOon



These are the couples we had dinner with every night.

A cruise in the Western Caribbean made for the perfect honeymoon. We got to visit Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Belize. All the while enjoying each others company, soaking up some rays, eating to our hearts content and relaxing.


JAMAICA





On Jamaica we hiked Dunn River Falls. It was a little crazy. They take a group of about 25-30 people, make you all hold hand, then climb up the water fall. It was quite the trip.


GRAND CAYMAN





In Grand Cayman we went to Sting Ray City and swam with the sting rays. Sting rays are amazing animals. At first I was afraid to touch them. Then when I finally climbed down off of Brandon's back I couldn't get enough. It's said that if you kiss a sting ray on the nose it will bring you seven years of good luck. What could we do...we both kissed the sting rays nose then we kissed it again together. Does that mean we now have 14 years of good luck? We also got to snorkel in Grand Cayman. While snorkeling we saw all kinds of sea life including a huge school of fish and a four to five foot long green eal with blue eyes. It was a little creepy, but also really neat to see.


BELIZE


This is Michelle and . It turned out that we did all our excursions with them.




Belize was different from the other ports we visited. When you pull up to the land you don't see any beach, just houses and buildings right on the water. Its like some thing you would see in Europe. While on Belize we got to zip through the rain forest on a zip line. On the way we had an unexpected adventure of changing a blown tire. Once we finally made it to the zip line, we had a blast. Brandon had never done a zip line before and really enjoyed it. I loved it all except for the 60 foot drop (they call it a rappel) at the end.
