Humid. Hot. Sweaty. Instantly straight to curly hair. Bright. Burnt. Warm water. Sea weed. Salty. Breath taking beauty. Sweetest people you'll ever meet. Ghetto hotels. Balcony suite. Little sleep. Amazing food. Memories that last a lifetime. Bartering. Crazy drivers. Jungles. Clear water. Palm trees. Sunny. Tan. Dodge Charger. Long flights. Layovers. No work. Power boats. Windy. Tropical rain storms. Shopping. Caves. Humility. Ferries. Tenders. Resorts. Sand fleas. Mayan ruins. Ocean for days. 24/7 free food. Swim suits. Flip flops. Sand. Best friends. Wrong hotel. Comedy shows. Sunscreen. Sunglasses. Home Sweet Home.
All these words describe my most recent adventure. Bri, Jason, Andrew, and I flew down to Miami for a few days to hang out and then went on a cruise to the western Caribbean. Amazing, you ask? ABSOLUTELY! Breath taking are the only two words I can even fathom to use to describe the beauty we saw for a week straight.
This photo is in Tulum, Meixico at the Mayan Ruins. They were amazing and I would totally recommend going there for any vacation. This photo reminds me of something that would be on a post card. Speaking of post cards- when we were at Grand Cayman Island we went to Hell... That's right, there's a town called Hell. Haha...
How funny is this?! The couple that owned this little gift shop were some of the sweetest people we met. Kind of funny how that works, huh? Back to post cards- everyone bought a post card that said, "I've been to Hell and back." they sent it home and it was even post-marked in Hell. Kind of a funny memory. ;)
The people on the ship were amazing! SO sweet to us. On the ship you're assigned a table and two servers that you have every night for dinner. We had Bernard and Ida(eee-duh). Bernard is from Jamaica but is now living in the Bahamas because that's where is "Misses" lives and Ida is from Indonesia. In my biased opinion we had the best two servers on the entire ship! We even gave Ida a Book of Mormon. He was so sweet. Bernard told us that he has never ever had guests like us because we actually joked around with him and treated him like one of us- not "lower" than us. I miss them!
The guy that was in charge of cleaning our room everyday remembered our names! How nuts is that? He has hundreds of rooms to clean in a day and he remembered all four of our names. He was so sweet. Every night they would make an animal out of towels and this night it was a monkey! So cute!
Right here we're waiting for the bus on the Grand Cayman Island. Buses there are like mini vans. It was kind of funny. From here we went to a local restaurant called Liberty's and ate BBQ chicken, Pork, and Ox tail- along with other "fixin's". Yummy!
