My Carribean cruise

The wife I took a 5 day Carribean cruise last week, started in Ft. Lauderdale, then went to Key West. Then we went to Cozumel Mexico where we toured the Mayan ruins and I got to smoke a Cuban cigar, yes they really are that good. After a day at sea, we were at Coco Cay Bahamas, were we went parasailing. I must say parasailing is awesome and I want to do it again.

Here some the pics of us parasailing in the Bahamas. If you ever get a chance to do this, do it, its awesome. We were up 400 feet in the air, the ride was so smooth it was incredible. Best part we didn't even get wet, they launched us from the boat, then when the ride was over, they pulled us right back down to the boat.

...Ah Jay you POOR Soul!... ;-)

Beautiful Pics! 'Reminds me of the one time I parasailed in Mazatlan while on a cruise w/ my parents as a 13 yr old.

The boat went out & up I went - an awesome flight around the bay! But when the towboat came back, the breeze was high and (at 135 lbs.) I couldn't come down! After hovering for what seemed like eternity, I had to remove one arm from the harness and pull the other strap w/ both arms to side-slip the chute to get low enough to be grabbed & pulled to the ground :)

Its been over 4 years that my wife and I have done a real vacation since we moved to Florida. Living in Florida is like being on vacation all the time, heck the beach is only 15 minutes away, you California people know what I mean. The cool part of this cruise was that it was only a 2 hour drive down to Ft. Lauderdale to catch the boat. If you never have done a cruise, it is something you have to experience sometime in your life. The sunrise and sunsets are awesome. I just have to share the pic of sunrise I took as we were heading back to port at the end of the trip.

Tim, the speed boat that took us parasailing had a electric winch that let the rope out and pulled it in, so everyones ride was smooth and went off without a hitch.

The wife and I did a 10 day Princess cruise last year for our 20 year annivarsary. We had a great time. We hit Grenada, Martinique, and the Cays.
It was our first cruise but won't be the last. We are already planning a Western Caribe cruise for next year. I can't wait. Nicholas

I was on Royal Carribeans "Enchantment of the Seas" ship. I highly recommend their cruises.
