Always good to come home...

The oceans breeze, the slow-gentle rocking of the ship, the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and the food! Those are just some of the things that I will miss in these next few days while I adjust to a new schedule yet again.
We are home, busy doing laundry and preparing to get back to life as we know it. Our cruise was wonderfully relaxing and incredibly short, with beautiful weather, great food and too many activities to keep up with. We met some great people on board... "Hi David and Barbara! Hope you too are home safe and sound!" We enjoyed the fabulous conversations!
Now, I need a vacation from my vacation. Why is that always the way?
And although I made a promise to my hubby not to go crazy with the camera, I still managed to snap some fun memories from our trip.
Here are just a few...

As we leave the port of Houston... (Galveston's port was battered from Ike)





Our first port of call... Progreso-Yucatan, Mexico. The morning sky was beautiful as we pulled into shore.





We went into town to experience its wonderful culture. This is the city center in Marida. These monuments are thousands of years old. This one sits at the end of Paseo Montejo and is the most famous.





The largest, and oldest church in the city, Cathedral of San Idelfonso. We arrived as mass was beginning so we quietly stood in the back of the church and took a moment to breath, think, pray. It was so moving that I literally lost my breath... I still get goose bumps when I think about how grand this building was.







Our second port of call, Cozumel, Mexico. We arrived at our time share around 11am as Eric rushed off to hit the reef, while I enjoyed ceviche and a bloody mary. It was fabulous!!!







The hammocks made great swings! Wheeeeeee~





This is Vladimir from Serbia. He was the best photographer on board and a really fun guy! Its hard to please another photographer, but he really did a great job. We bought over $300 in pictures! Silly us! :) Don't forget to give us a call Vladimir when you come to town! Oh, notice how they shoot with D300's? Great camera guys!!! LOL!



I cannot spell their names... :) but these are our dancing, singing waiters. Always ready with my drink! :)









Thanks Carnival Cruise Lines for a great trip! We will be back soon~
