Last week, my wife and I went on a 5 day Cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, which was almost 3 years ago.
I promised in one of the cold weather threads to soak up some warm sun for you guys while I was there so here are some pics of me doing so.
We flew out of Raleigh to Tampa, was 40 and raining when we left.

After a day at sea we went to Grand Cayman...a very nice place to visit if you have never been. They don't have a cruise ship port there so you are tendered in to the island.

The water 400 yards off the beach is almost 300 feet, the ships just float while the tenders move people, every once in a while you see the thrusters come on to keep the ships close to the same spot but they are not anchored.

We toured the island by bus on the way to and from some caverns, they were very interesting.

Next stop was Cozumel where they do have docks for the ships.

Everyone finding their excursion guides.

We rode in a taxi/van to tour the Mayan Ruins and around the island.

The side of the Cozumel away from the city has no water or power.

But they do have a bar.
