Amber's Cruise

We had such a wonderful time on our cruise! There are many stories I could tell, but I already have too many pictures, I will spare you all of ALL the stories! So I will try to make quick captions.
Here is a picture of our boat out in the middle of the water. It was called the Inspiration. Take note of the smaller boat next to it. The smaller boat was our trolly back and forth to land. The smaller boat held about 250 people, so as you can see our boat was GINORMOUS!

This was our first view of Grand Caymen. It was really really beautiful there. Grand Caymen is actually British territory. The island is about 350 miles from Miami and 180 miles from Jamaica. There are no taxes on the island.

I just liked this picture of me and Ashlie for some reason.

So there is a place in Grand Caymen called "Hell." So Ashlie and I were being little devil's!

"Hell" is actually coral with mildew grown on it and it makes it discolored.

After Hell we went to the turtle farm. It was kinda interesting. We saw lots of turtles and got to hold some of the smaller ones.

Once we left the turtle farm we went to what is called, "stingray city." It is about a 20 minute boat ride out to the middle of the ocean and there is a place out in the middle of it that is about waist high and LOTS of stingrays hanging out there just waiting for someone to play with them. It was so fun! If you look in this picture alone you can actually count about 10 stingrays.

This sting ray, her name was bubbles (they can actually tell who is who) Bubbles had a scar over her left eye. Anyway, bubbles is so big, she covers me and Ashlie both!

We like this picture, Ashlie, Bubbles, and I are all smiling for the camera.

This tour guide said, "OK mom on the count of 3 snap the picture" he said 3 and put that sting ray above our heads!

We really had a lot of fun and would definitely do it again!

As if we don't eat enough on the ship, we got hungry and had to eat at Margaritaville. Again it was a lot of fun!

Mom and Ashlie decided to go para sailing. I had been before and decided not to go this time. Anyway they got this picture from the air. I thought it was really pretty.

This is the Ritz Carlton of Grand Caymen. Many famous people have suites here. Bill Gates bought out the top 2 floors for 40 million dollars! Other people that have properties in Grand Caymen are: Michael Jordon, Brittany Spears, Oprah, Cher, Magic Johnson, Tiger Woods, President Bush, Michael Jackson and many, many more.

I thought this was a pretty picture of the sunset one night. Over all we had a really, really good time! We could not wait to get home to our husbands, next time they will go with us!
