a caribbean cruise...

so... once upon a time i got a birthday/christmas present from nicole entitling me to one caribbean cruise with a one nicoley. it was sure to be quite the adventure! it was a 7 day caribbean cruise on the carnival cruise line on the ship "valor." we left on the 4th of december and just got back yesterday on the 12th...

we started our journey in the tucson airport... where the security guard said that we were an odd pair of friends... with our byu and u of a sweatshirts. haha. we did see the first of many sunrises though!




we had a little layover in chicago where it was snowing like crazy and where i got many funny looks for wearing my flip flops, but i was going on to miami... i didn't mind! lol!
 



ps... the toilets in that airport were amazing! it had a motion sensor on it and it rotated this sanitary plastic cover on it so it was clean all the time! best invention ever!!


we got to miami, caught a shuttle to our hotel. we stayed at the fortune house... which sounds like a chinese restaurant or a strip club, but really it is neither. it was a really cute condo turned hotel. we only paid for a one bed room... but it was two bedroom, two bath, full kitchen plus a balcony with a view of the bay (we still slept in the same bed, haha).




we might have spit off this balcony... hahaha  :)

I just read about your entire cruise. I am so glad you had so much fun! I'm also glad you didn't hit any storms - Tyler and I went on a cruise for our honeymoon and there were two storms that hit and I was seasick pretty much the entire time! Imagine barfing on your honeymoon - it was miserable! (But then again, you know you've married the right man when he doesn't care!)

Your excursions sounded like they were so much fun. I want to go on this cruise next!
