The second port of call was Isla Roatan, Honduras. We decided to go on a catamaran to try out some snorkeling. The ride out on the catamaran was about an hour and a half…very choppy, but fun =) We didn’t take our camera in the water, but here are some pics I found online that look VERY similar to what we experienced.


















Belize City, Belize was the next port of call. We did the cave tubing…it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! I am definitely a fan of Belize, although it was probably the poorest place we visited. I was very overwhelmed with what we saw regarding how people lived, and what they lived in… some pics of the cave tubing...






























OK, the previous ports of call were fun, but we had a BLASTY BLASY in Cozumel!!! David and I both are very outdoorsy people – we went 4-wheeling to some Mayan Ruins and it was MESSY ~ which made it SOOO fun!!!














































The tour guides spoke to us about the history of the island/ the ruins. Yes, they did mention the whole "end of the world in 2012" business, HOWEVER, they did point out that the Mayans only predicted the end of the calendar, not the end of the world in 2012. I personally have not watched/ researched any of the 2012 world ending phenomeon mostly b/c I believe the best of my life lays ahead of me, not behind me - and nobody knows the timing of the end of the world...No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father (Mark 13:32).

The last day was a day at sea…we slept in late (which is about 8Am to us…) and then went to eat breakfast. We sat at the table for about an hour or two and played poker with splenda packets…it was sweet!!
We followed up our armature gambling with a trip to the casino…and actually won back all the money we lost the duration of the cruise =) For anyone that disagrees with our "gambling entertainment" - here is a place that teaches kids to gamble from an early age:



Think about it...Disagree? Didn't think so ;-)


The rest of the day consisted of laying out on the deck, sipping our water (b/c we wouldn’t dare waste $$$ on those soft drink cards <-- insert sarcasm here…) and I got lost in my book while David slept =) The next day brought our trip to an end…we caught a cab to the airport and flew back to Pensacola…
