We're back

After 7days and 7nights, we're back on dry land in the comforts of home. Although I missed my kids (and bed) terribly, we had an absolute blast. We filled the first 2 days at sea with spin classes, reading, cyber golf competitions (Casey got 3rd in the 'Longest Drive' and wants a do-over), playing cards, watching football in the lounges, dinner shows, and eating (of course).

Our first port was...

This jungle canopy was amazing in that it was 100% eco-friendly. Not a single nail was used in any tree. Everything was held on and up by a system of tethers and cables. (A little scary, 150 ft. in the air)
We did around a dozen different ziplines, 2 freefall repels, several hanging bridges and 2 rope ladders.
Sooo fun!!

The next day, we arrived in...

where we took a private tour of the city.

We stopped for lunch at a restaraunt on the beach where we got a glimpse of a parasil that called to us:)

Last, we hit...

A van drove us out to Chileno Bay (I highly reccomend it) where we spent the day snorkeling (TONS of fish), relaxing, exploring and being goofy on a pristine beach with ZERO vendors and almost no other people.

Back on the boat, we tried our hands at karaoke where Heidi treated us to a little 'Bad Medicine' by Bon Jovi. How I wish we had our video camera. Thanks to that, one of the cruise directors invited us to dress up as the Supremes, the next night, and sing again. It was terrible (so they tell us) but so much fun.

So... my kids survived and I feel refreshed.
Bring on the rest of the school year!
