February 22nd

I met Trish almost 8 years ago when we were taking photography classes together at Algonquin college. She lives in California now but i love it when she's in town and we can wander around and play with our cameras.

We had a blast going out for brunch at Cora's then walking around downtown.  We only managed to get in trouble once on this visit....a security guard made us show him our pictures to make sure we didn't take pictures of people (we didn't know the one building we were in had an Israli embassy, oops!).

Our cruise ended in Fort Lauderdale. We had 9 hours before our flight home so we decided to take an airboat ride through the Florida everglades...very cool. There happened to be someone sky writing, not sure how they can get a plane to do that!

After the ride we say a guy wrestling alligators. In the picture he's actually saying "your breath stinks"...the guy was hiliarious.

Our vacation was awesome and we're already trying to plan which cruise we're going on next...we're addicted! :)

The next stop on our cruise was Princess Cays, Bahamas. Wish I was back there right now (it's been snowing or raining almost every day since we got back from our trip)!

Today was Formal evening on the boat. Here's the husband enjoying his favourite beverage on our balcony

Today was a sea day (i.e. no stops) so we had a fun day on the boat going on a tour of the kitchen and watching ice sculpture carving. We also saw an hypnotist....hilarious!

Third stop on the cruise was Cozumel, Mexico. We spent most of the day swimming with dolphins (and getting a little sunburnt) so i didn't actually take many pictures...though I did buy lots of amazing pictures from the photographer at the dolphin place. This is a quick shot I took of my daughter right beside where out boat was docked, she's looking a little red (our 50 SPF suncreen didn't protect for very long)

Here's one from the photographer at the dolphin place:

If you ever get a chance to swim with dolphins, do it....it's the most amazing experience!

our second stop on the cruise was Roatan, Honduras. Beautiful place...everything is so lush and green. Our highlight was seeing the iguanas, cute fellas!

February 14th

Our ship stopped at Grand Cayman island for the day. Here are a few of the sights we saw. The rooster is from Hell...yes, there's a place called Hell on the island and it has a post office so you can mail letters to people from Hell. The kids loved going to the turtle farm and holding the baby turtles. The one pictured here is fully grown and was huge!
