Well...we are home! Needless to say, this vacation was amazing!! We had such an incredible time together doing absolutely nothing! It was actually really hard for us to do nothing and try and relax...but we eventually got over that =) We had so much fun enjoying all the neat things the ship and the ports of call had to offer.

Some of the highlights from the ship: walking around together and exploring all around it, sitting in the hot tub on the main deck watching movies on the big screen, playing giant chess while watching football on the big screen, getting to sleep in every morning, the delicious food (calories were OUT THE WINDOW on this vacation and it was FANTASTIC), the shows in the main theater, going to watch karaoke and laugh our heads off (we hid it well...no one was embarrassed...at least not by us lol), watching the couples compete in the Marriage Show (sooo funny), trying our luck in the casino and Greg winning $50, having dinner with Ruthy and Jose each night (our table mates form Puerto Rico...Ruthy is a 3rd time breast cancer survivor and very interesting woman. On the second night they brought us an ornament that said "Our First Anniversary, Carnival Freedom 10-18-09" and had the servers sing "Happy Anniversary" to us...sooo sweet), getting to hang out together with no interruptions (i.e. cellphones, computers, tv's, etc), and much much more!

Some Highlights of our stops:
Key West: This was a cute town with a lot of character. We wish we had more time to walk around here! We walked the main shopping districts and stopped at Jimmy Buffet's Maragritaville for an appetizer and drinks. It was beautiful weather and so much fun walking around!

Grand Cayman: We were supposed to go snorkeling here but a storm came in and it got rained out. However, we still had a good time seeing bits of the island and scrambling to stay dry =)

Jamaica: This was one of our favorite days. The weather was beautiful and so was the island. We went to Dunn's River Falls to walk up the falls together. It was amazingly beautiful. We took a waterproof disposable camera and they came out a bit blurry but the picture do not give this place justice. It was gorgeous! The water was freezing cold but it felt nice compared to the hot, humid air. We shopped around a bit before heading back to the ship.

I am so glad that we were able to have this time together!! This was a wonderful vacation and on of the best anniversary surprises ever!
