Crusing Complete

We have returned from the cruise with Taryn and Brandon and had a GREAT time. Hurricane Gustav was behind us the whole way but never caught up so it was a great week of sun and water. It was also the first time Tom had left KW since we have arrived. Of course it wasn't to traumatic since he went from being on an island to cruising around islands!

The above picture was taken in Jamaica where we spent the day hiking up a water fall, yes we hiked UP a series of waterfalls called Mayfield Falls. It was a great time. And yes you will notice both Tom and I had a tan. Not a big surprise with Tom since he is out on a boat so much but I to have one. In fact it is probably the tannest I have ever been. It's not that I am trying but we spend a lot more time out in the sun here so it just seems to happen.

Back to the cruise..... the islands were great. The cruise was great. The biggest ship we have ever cruised on and Brandon's first cruise. There were 4200 passengers on the boat but they did an amazing job of handling the people and getting things done. It was rare to stand in line for anything. The cruise activity staff was the best we have seen. They were a lot of fun and had so much for us to do that we didn't get to do all that we wanted to. And of course the never ending amount of incredible food!!!! Believe it or not Brandon got FULL about day 6. I wasn't sure that would ever be possible!

So we are back home to unpack and get ready to go back to work (for at least one of us), from vacation to island living, it is tough ;)
