Fast Forward - Honeymoon, Part II

So after we got better situated (got our bathing suits on and sunscreen), we headed out to Paradise Island. Took a water boat/taxi thing - pack in like sardines - to the island. Got there and tried to find our way to the beach. This was pretty tricky considering the place is surrounded by water.

But we found it. Oh yeah! Atlantis Beach here we come.



The Port of Call.



The beach. With stupid clouds.



Darin in our spot.

It was very beautiful - the water was turquoise. Very different than Florida beaches. We watched the people jet ski and swim (still too cold for us because the sun wasn't out 100%). Then the clouds came in and we got a little sprinkle of rain. Decided it would be better to go on the boat...



Atlantis. On the trip back to the boat.

Finally got back to the boat (we didn't get lost at least - just a semi long trip back), and I took pictures of the boat. Or was it ship?



Boat.



And we had a drink. It was fruity.

Enjoyed some sunshine and then it was time for dinner. Hurray for dinner.

Unfortunately we decided to go snorkeling the next day at Coco Cay and it rained all day long. We were stuck in the boat, running up and down the stairs, and eating too much food. Went to the shows (the night before was Boogie Wonderland - fantastic and the one that night was a juggler).



Bed Bunny.

We got back to our room and found this little fella. So cute.

Next day was Key West. We have been to Key West. It was a LONG ass drive to get there - much better traveling there on the boat. We basically did nothing really - walked around the city and then sat in the sunshine.



From deck.

Sorry it seemed kind of boring - but I think that was the whole 'vacation' idea. Everything about the Key West day was relaxing. Good times. And SPF4 - so I'd get a little color...

That night was our last night for dinner and activities (we'd be in Miami tomorrow morning to head home). It was sad.

Good times were had at dinner that night.



Eating - do we look chubbier around the face?



Dessert. I got two desserts each night. And main meals. And appetizers too.
Oops.



Our table! So much fun.



Our Waiters - Rosario and Johnny.
Sounds so stupid, but they made us feel so special.

Two night in a row, the guys (waiters/assistant waiters/cooks) sang for us. It was funny. I think we had a semi-special bond with our Head Waiter, Rosario, because we ordered the Indian vegetarian meal each night (we LOVE Indian food) and he was from India. I guess we were uncommon... strange because most people I know here love Indian food as well. We just put out a good vibe, I think.

We went to another fun musical thing (like Boogie Wonderland, but with 80s music - Sign, Sealed, Delivered).

Side note:
The dancing at these things was super good. But the male dancers were super gay. And had very sweaty hair. And were very skinny (but in a good way. sexy skinny.). And we got to see them twice. Once again, fantastic. Later in the evening we went to see the comedian. Fun.ny. :)

Everyone went out of their way to be nice to us and talk to us. It was strange actually - no grumpy employees were to be seen. (They might punish them in the galley or something. Ha ha.)

And that's it.

Go on a cruise. We will be going again soon - if you want to join us, please do! The more the merrier.
