This picture sums up how we felt to finally be on the cruise. We left Miami on Saturday after hanging out there for a day, Miami is a happening place. We had fun watching drunk guys dancing to a cover band playing on the pier after stuffing ourselves with Bubba Gump Shrimp.

Our first stop was Honduras, which was probably the most authentic and poor of the places we visited. We decided to zip line down a mountain on a series of 8 zip lines and we had a blast. The first one was 1800 feet long (pic below), and went over a huge ravine. The other lines went through the tree tops. We had a guide who had to stop us at the end of each line so we wouldn't run into trees going as fast as we were. The guide was about 5 feet tall and 130 pounds so it was a little scary to trust him to stop us, but we survived. If I can I'll post a video of it. We had a harness around our waist with a caribeener that was attached to the line which was the only thing we could hold onto. I played with a monkey Steve.

Just below my hand was a ramp that dropped about 70 feet, kinda hard to tell in the picture.

We spent the rest of the day in Honduras at the beach...and no, I didn't lose any weight doing my 40 day thingy. We all jumped off a 15 ft platform on the dock until our noses hurt from the salt water.

The second day was spent in Belize. We went out on a little boat to a reef and snorkled. We saw a freaky looking eel and we swam with a bunch of agressive shark rays. Belize truly has some of the best diving and beaches anywhere. On our way back our boat broke down, and a guy had to hold down some doo hickey on the motor for a half hour just do get us back in time before the cruise left. The island we went to didn't have any paved roads, and we ate peanut butter and bread from a market on the dock.

The third place was Cozumel. We had been there before so we just took a taxi down to the south side and spent the day at a fun little beach. Joni got a swedish massage on the beach while I swam, and we had some REALLY good authentic Mexican food in San Miguel. I got a good picture of Joni showing some serious plumber bum crack during her massage, but in order to keep this blog PG I'll let you use your imaginations.

Waiting in line to get back on the boat. Joni's aunt, uncle, and cousin were with us on the trip although we did our own thing in Cozumel. We weren't hanging out with special needs kids, that's just Jo Ann, she was hot so we wrapped her face like a sheik.

We spent a couple of days on the boat, and the last day we spent on a private island owned by the cruiseline in the Bahamas that was only about a mile or two long. The service on the cruise wasn't that great, and the shows were lame, but we had the most fun doing our own things in all the places we visited. I ate ice cream with just about every meal, and with the 24 hour buffet, there was plenty of food for all of us.
