The Honeymoon

Craig and I took a 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera. We stopped at Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. Everything was amazing. The ship was unreal. We had a balcony which made all the difference in the world.

On the ship, there are thousands of things to do... well, besides eat at every moment. Craig and rock climbed, went ice skating, played dodgeball, got a massage, got a hair cut, played volleyball, saw a comedian, a juggler, watched people dance and sing to the 80's, asked the captain a question in person, watched the Newlywed's Game, swam, sat in a jacuzzi, and so much more. I won $150 playing craps in the casino and Craig won $130 in Bingo. Good times.

We did so many fun and amazing thins. We walked around Cabo and visited the famous Gigling Marlin and Cabo Wabo. In Mazatlan, we went ziplining which was so much fun. Even if you're scared of heights you should do it at some point. I had the most fun doing that. Talk about a rush. And at some points you felt all alone in the jungle. It was unbelievable. Except for the 80+ mosquito bites I received. Forgot about the bug repelent. Ooopss...

In Puerto Vallarta, I had the opportunity to experience one of my childhood dreams: swimming with the dolphings. This was an absolutely amazing experience. My passion and near obsession with these creatures is unreal. I have pet dolphins before and fed them fish, but this experience does not compare to anything else. We were floating around as the dolphins swam around and inbetween us. We fed them and got kisses from them. The highlight was taking a ride. We got to hold onto their pectoral fins and go for a ride side by side. Truly incredible and something I will never forget. There are too many great things to talk about. We had such a blast and cannot wait to go on our next cruise. Maybe Alaska or the Caribbean. Either way we had a great time. Royal Caribbean gave treated us to a lifetime of memories that we will not soon forget.
