Carribean Cruise

Over my whole life my vacatins have consisted of a weekend camping trip or visiting relatives or something like that. Even when I lived in Germany my sightseeing 3was over weekends.
However, my wife changed that. Somehow, she socked away the money for a carribean cruise without me knowing it. She had to tell me finally about it in order to take vacation time.
It really was great.The first two days were just traveling. We spent these two days swimming and eating and drinking. The only reason we stopped was to sleep. On the third morning I woke up and realized the ship was not moving. We had docked in Montego Bay, Jamaica. So we got ready and yes we ate again, lol. Then went ashore to see Jamaica. We had a blast. We took a tour to Rose Hall. It is an estate where the lady that used to live there killed all her husbands, before her last lover, a slave, killed her. It was really cool.
We had a tour guide was trying to teach us Jamaican slang while we traveled. Yeah Mon. We spent a lot of time shopping and sightseeing and picture taking. We saw LOTS of gorgeous women in bikinis and thongs. Jeanette pointed out a few guys were hot too, lol. I did see a lot of people that should never put on a thong or a speedo, it burns your eyes out. LOL, there was one guy that walked by wearing a speedo. He looked like he was a model. You know, the six pack abs, solid leg and arm muscle….. LOL I think jeanette was drooling, but she wont admit it.
That night after dinner we just kind of crashed. During the night we sailed to the Grand Cayman Islands. We had a problem here. The only way off the ship was by a tender. Jeanette could not climb down to it and we could not get her wheel chair down there either. We decided to skip this one and we spent the day relaxing and swimming and of course eating. By the next morning we were in Cozumel. That is a small Mexican island. We got off there just fine. The water was so clear we could see the bottom of the bay and fish, but they were 50 or 60 feet deep. We did a lot of sightseeing in Cozumel and shopping. I liked it best. We went to the hard rock café, we bought souvenirs and we just wandered around on our own. There is a lot to see there. Jeanette got some good deals.
Then it was Friday night and we started cruising back to Galveston. On Sunday morning we got back to the U.S. lucky as Hell, cruising in between the hurricanes.
We took about 400 pictures and had a really great time. Jeanette had never been out of the country before. It was all new to her, lol.
That was our anniversary, belated honeymoon, and vacation.
Before our cruise, I had made a promise to stop smoking. So, when we left on the cruise I did not have any smokes. It was a good thing that they had so much food and things to do. I am doing pretty well still, but I would kill for a smoke, lol. One thing I did notice yesterday besides coughing up all that crap out of my lungs, I can do a lot more without being out of breath. I had no idea it had gotten that bad. I have been enjoying that the last two days working outside. Now that I really see a difference, maybe it will help me. I told Jeanette though, that if I ever get diagnosed with cancer or anything that is going to do me in, then she might as well stop at the tobacco store and let me buy some smokes lol.
