Cruisin' and Moving Full Sail Ahead

DH and I went on a cruise. I was a little nervous considering I cannot do more than tread water for a few seconds. I made him promise me that should we pull a Titanic...or a Costa Concordia, for that matter, that he would get me in a life boat with a life jacket on. I am a nervous traveler. I am convinced that I will miss my flight, forget my ID, lose my passport, leave my underwear at home, get pull over by security and be allowed into a country but not back out. Irrational traveling fears for the most part.

After we got under way, I was more amazed by the dolphins swimming along with us, the way the ocean changes colors and how freakin' huge the ship was. I was a little seasick the whole time. It was the worst when sitting still. Laying in the sun was fine, walking was fine. Whatever plane of gravity my head resides in when sitting was NOT fine. But the cruise line does their best to keep your stomachs full in an effort to distract you from the seasickness.

The ports that we stopped in were Progresso - kind of dirty - and Cozumel - I could live there. Cozumel was the only thing that DH wanted....white sands, crystal clear water and floating water toys. We had a great time!

While we were on the cruise DH surprised me with a proposal to spend the rest of our lives together. It was a beautiful night! We were alone on one of the lower decks and he had snuck the ring into his camera case without me being any the wiser. I wish I had a picture from right after but they're all on his camera. It was the perfect proposal for us. Then I kind of wanted to run through the cruise ship shouting "I'm getting married!!!!" But I didn't. Instead we went to a wine bar for champagne, held hands and giggled, had a round of champagne bought for us when we told the family next to us what had happened, went to a piano bar and DH broke two chairs. That's a different story completely...

It's so bright! The sun, the SUN!!!!

He needed a little captain's courage, I guess...

"Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?"

Leaving Cozumel....tanned and happy

Dinner the last night...we didn't get pictures with our fourth couple =(

Now we're moving full speed sail ahead. It's all venues, caterers, dresses, pastors, flowers, photography....it's never ending at the moment. But a happy kind of never ending.
