Trip Report
* * *Here's some pictures* * *(click here) but we flew down to Orlando where we stayed with the SysOp group overnight.
Bugs, bugs, bugs. We got on the ship at Port Canaveral (which is right next to where they shoot off rockets/shuttles/stuff). The second day we stopped at Cococay Bahamas and just walked along the beach looking at a LOT of jellyfish, and other critters. The next day we were at sea all day. The forth day we arrived at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. We got into some rubber boats and went out to a small island where we had a hermit crab race (my crab won), took an "eco hike" and did some snorkeling. Pretty fun. The fifth day we arrived at St. Martin, got off the ship and hired a boat to take us snorkeling/shopping. We snorkeled at a sunken submarine (about 8 feet under water) then went to another place and snorkeled the wreck of what appeared to be a big sail boat of some kind...probably 16 feet deep.
It was all broken up but there were a lot of fish around it. Cool beans. We then went to the French side of the island and yer mom shopped for a bit before returning to the ship. Two days on the sea back to Canaveral. One night we had lobster for dinner, and on the ship, you can order as much of anything as you want, anytime you want. Yer mom & I both ate 3 Lobster tails each before we were too stuffed to even think of eating more. That's probably the one thing we did more than any other on the ship: eat.

I have always thought that it is sad that the people who need the break the most are the ones that are so busy (or circumstances that wont allow it) that they don't get it.
