The time-lapse sunset is cool! I knew exactly what those towel photos where. I took photos of them too when I went on my honeymoon.

Great to have you back!

Royal, that was actually the sunrise on our last leg of the trip, from Mexico to Ft Lauderdale. It was gorgeous!!!

Swamper, that one iguana having her dinner was Delilah. The guide told us that Samson passed away last year and she's been very sad

The towels were SO SO SO cute! I was upset that by the last day, I still hadn't seen the monkey hanging by his arms so my hubby stopped the attendant in the hallway and put in a special request. We went to the pool for about an hour and when we got back, he was swinging from the rod!

The staff on the ship were outstanding and we had no complaints at all about the service.

Quick story...

when we were on Grand Cayman, we chose to go to Boatswain's Beach and Park, where the Turtle Farm is. The tour is scheduled for over 4 hrs but it can be done in no more than two so we decided we'd take a cab back to the town and explore. We asked the lady in the Turtle Farm if she would call a cab for us, she did and was told it would be at least 20 minutes. I guess we looked disappointed because she then offered to drive us back herself if we could wait 5 minutes! She was such a nice lady, she gave us a bit of a tour rather than taking us back along the same rode we came in on. Her kindness gave us one more wonderful memory of Grand Cayman. I'm sending her a post card from here

Sue, it sure looks like you had a great time on your vacation. Thanks for all the pictures. The sunset is beautiful. Love the turtles, they are so cute.

Sorry you lost a few chids but what a great excuse to replace them with a few extras to keep the babies company

Welcome home.

We did have a wonderful time

I have nothing to compare it to but the service from Royal Caribbean and the ship were outstanding. We're already planning our next cruise!

That "sunset" was actually the sun rising on the last full day of the trip from Mexico back to Ft Lauderdale. With all the beautiful sunsets we get to see here in Florida, I was amazed at the way that sunrise looked!

Hi Suzanne,

Welcome home! from the look of the photos you've shared with us, it appears that you had a great time...you deserved it.

I must admit though that I'm glad you're back...you were missed.

Sue, what a great time you had! Really enjoyed seeing your vacation photos!

I've been to Grand Cayman and went to that same turtle farm! I love sea turtles and have seen them while scuba diving. . .they just peacefully swim by. . .gorgeous creatures!

LOVE those towels too!

Welcome back!

Thanks David

Gwen, I'm happy to hear you've been to Boatswain's. It's hard to explain just how awesome the turtles they have truly are.

I was a little obsessed with the towels

Oh yes, I came home with the t-shirt and a little wooden turtle. LOL They let us hold one of the little baby ones and in my hands it tried to fly away with those little flapper wings. *big grin*

The towels are so cool but I am easily amused. lol

Sorry sorry sorry to hear you lost a few orchids while you were away. . .they do that when they know you're not there. Dang it. If I peek in at them every day, all goes well but if I miss a day somebody gets verclimped. Strange.
