From the top deck… I love to watch the wake as the ship sails toward Costa Maya, Mexico.

I am thinking... there is no better way to relax than sailing across the Gulf of Mexico on a large cruise ship.

I am thankful for... new friends (other young adult couples at dinner) and new experiences (Mayan ruins at Costa Maya and walking downtown Cozumel)
From the kitchen... the executive chef and sous chefs are preparing exquisite fine meals.

I am wearing... comfortable shoes for climbing on the Mayan ruins.

Around the ship... there are people from all over the world enjoying a cruise and all the activities.
 |
| Watch out for the water hazard. It's a doozy! |
 |
| We won 3rd place in the mini-golf tournament with Ken & Allison from North Carolina. I helped with moral support. |
Around the house... it is all quiet on the eastern front (home in Bradenton, FL) except for the cat.
One of my favorite things... having time to relax and forget about all work this week, days without stress, and quality time with my husband.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Wednesday: Visit the Mayan ruins
Thursday: Walking tour of Cozumel
There is NOTHING on the agenda – We’re on vacation!!!
Next week: Recover from vacation and back to housework and weekly routine.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

What an awesome week you are having! I've always wanted to do a cruise like that. Enjoy your time with your hubby.
ReplyDeleteThis was actually last week's post but we were away last week. I had to post it late. Hubby is back to work and back to house chores for me (when the sea legs go away!)
