Fun in the sun!!!

So, I'm finally posting pictures of our awesome trip to the Grand Cayman, Jamacia, and Florida! In February we spent two weeks tanning, well, more like burning (LOL) and seeing tons of new and amazing things! We spent five days on a huge cruise ship that was the nicest one I've ever been on. Inside it looked like a five star hotel, with three different pools, a rock climbing wall, and one of those trampoline things that you get harnessed to. It was pretty sweet!

We had two stops, one in the Grand Cayman and one in Jamacia. In the Grand Cayman we got to swing with sting rays!! I was soooooo freaked out the whole time, but in the end I ended up giving one a big kiss!! Unfortuneately I have no documentation of my kiss because those things are slippery buggers! We got a good one of Nate though!

We also got to go snorkeling and then we spent some time on a beautiful beach call Seven Mile Beach. Picture, white sands, crystal blue water, hot sun! It's was amazing! This is where got burnt to a crisp! Apparently, the sun is hotter in the Cayman's because it's closer to the earth when it's directly on top or something. I'm not really sure but even I got burnt which doesn't usually happen!!
Obviously Nathan got it the worst! OUCH!!! Sleeping was a beast!! And there was one night that Nathan couldn't stop scratching his back on anything with a rough edge! It was the most insane thing!! LOL O'well, maybe you had to be there! It still cracks me up!

In Jamacia we went tubing and cliff jumping! It was so much fun because in this river there were little patches of rapids! The cliff was about 8 or 10 feet and we had to jump right in one spot otherwise, SPLAT all over the rocks! Luckily, no one did that! We had two river guides, one was 18 years old and he kept asking me and the girl with me if we were dating the guys we were with. He took special care of us.

My most favorite thing we did was in Jamacia called Dunn River Falls. It's a cascading water fall that runs for about a mile down in the ocean. The reason it was so cool was because you are able to climb up it. This is totally something you could only do in another country, or maybe a third world country...I'm not sure, somewhere like the US and Canada, North America. Whatever, anyway, there were spots of the river that went up over my head and then there were some that were maybe a foot deep. The rocks though, were soooo slippery! One wrong step and you could have seriously hurt yourself. The tour guides were having people link arms and manuver the falls. We found one that would follow up the side with our cameras and just take pictures. He did an amazing job! Lots of good ones!!

Anyway, we had an awesome time on our trip! It really was amazing and I would recommend the Grand Cayman and Jamacia to anyone especially Dunn River Falls! We spent a week in FL as well but those pics aren't half as cool as the ones of our cruise! There are just too many of them for me to post them separately so, enjoy the slide show! By the way, if you didn't already know, the profile pic is us at Universal Studios! Good times!
