-It's probably not a good idea to lay out by the pool for 3 hours. We were in open waters the last day and for some reason, ultraviolet rays have greater powers on ocean water.
-Piano bars on cruise ships are just not the same as the ones in New Orleans. They couldn't hold a candle to JB at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shoppe on Bourbon St.
-You can get knock-off name brand purses at the straw market in Nassau for NOTHING. If you are careful, you can keep the label on for at least a month. (Between my sister and myself, we bought 7 purses and 3 wallets.)
-The only downside to cruising, according to my husband, is the schedule of things to do on the ship. He has no desire to do anything on vacation except rest. I agree with him on this one.
-Men should NEVER wear Speedos unless they are competing in the Olympics. I am still nauseous from the image of the 50+ year old man in the hairy chest contest wearing one of these.
-Fresh fruit in Freeport was unbelievably mouth-watering. Yummy!
-I don't know how I am going to do it, but my son fell in love with the Warm Chocolate Melting Cake on the cruise and now he wants it for his birthday. I got the recipe but I think I need a blowtorch.
-While I am laying out, I can concentrate on what I am reading much better with songs like Sexyback and Low blaring in the background. My mom and sister could not.
-You can find a Starbucks anywhere!! I found one as soon as we got off the ship at Nassau. They won't accept your gift cards, though.
-You can make a living on a cruise ship with the fine art of towel origami. If they like you, you get things like a stingray, an elephant, or a dog. If they don't like you, you get a snake.
-Losing a camera on vacation is like losing an appendage. We did find it, though. It was NOT my fault this time.
-Having your birthday on the cruise is number one!! Thank you to my sweet husband and children for the pearl necklace and bracelet.
-While you are away, the kennel will calm your dog with sedatives. I hope we don't have to watch him go through detox.
-We are already planning to do this again.....to Jamaica!!!
Here are some pictures from the trip. We were not able to capture the third day, due to the camera
being in the bag of scotch fro
m Nassau.

so Jeff doesn't wear a speedo? i always had him pegged as a speedo guy
Oh, no....on the other hand, I prefer NOT knowing who is a Speedo guy and who is not. I think it would damage our relationship permenantly.
We went on a cruise to Nassau back in Feb. and loved it. I fantasize about it even now. The next one I want to take is to Mexico. I agree with the speedo thing. My husband followed a man around on our cruise wearing a black speedo with the worst looking toupe' you've ever seen. Brian said the man looked so bizarre he just had to get his picture. Glad you guys had fun, I love cruisin'!
I can't wait for our kids to get a little older so we can go on a cruise with them. Meanwhile, a cruise for just the two of us would be GREAT...(Josh, do you read this blog????)
