Honeymoonin’ Cruisin’

Our honeymoon was awesome! We didn’t leave for a honeymoon for a week because my Uncle Daniel was getting married the weekend after ours and we didn’t want to miss it. So finally after a week of being married and finally being done with our wedding and my uncles wedding we left for our honeymoon! Our flight was around midnight Saturday night and I was so nervous! It was my first time ever being on a plane before and I was pretty terrified. Duskin was awesome though and helped me through get over it, i mean for heaven sakes we were going on a cruise for a week to Jamaica with just us and no phones or computers! We slept most of the flight to Florida which was nice. We got to Florida and had a few hours before we could check in to the cruise so we just stayed at the airport for a while and Duskin caught up on his sleep since he didn’t get much on the flight over unlike me.

After couple hours of waiting at the airport it was time to take our first cab ride to our ship. That was interesting but it was a fun experience. And after waiting line for about on our trying to check into our ship we FINALLY were on board!!
 Our first day on the cruise we just kinda walked around to see everything. It was  HUGE ship. Neither one of us had ever been on a cruise before so we were pretty excited!
Relaxing our first night watching a movie out on the deck.
 Day Two: Key West, FL
Our day at Key West we rented a scooter and rode around the whole island.
The Southernmost Point in the United States

Our waiters at dinner brought us cake and sang “Happy Honeymoon to you” to us J
 Day 3: Day at Sea
The day you spend the whole day on the ship. We had so much fun going to different activities they had on the ship.
 Day 4: Cayman Islands
We got online before we went on our cruise to find different things to do at the different ports that we were going to be on and we found a tour company that was going to take us snorkeling and swimming with stings rays! While we waited for our tour to start we walked around the island visiting the different shops and places to see.
Swimming with the sting rays was a little scary at first. I was totally freaked out but I eventually got use to it. Yes I let out a few girl screams at first but only a few! Duskin was all into it and had so much fun! He even got to feed them. We both got to hold one and that was way cool. They were so interesting and super slimy. There so many of them swimming around us it was crazy.
Snorkeling was a lot of fun as well. I’m not a fan of swimming by myself in open water so I kept Duskin really close until somehow he disappeared and there I was swimming by myself (there were other people around that I didn’t know) so I the chicken that I am got back on the boat until I could find him again. Once I told him my fear he didn’t leave me again. 
 Day 5: Jamaica
Jamaica was a fast stop but incredible! We also got a tour while we were here and we hiked the Dunns River Falls. That was one of the funnest things! We didn’t take our camera though because we didn’t want to get it wet but I so wish that we would have taken picture. It was so beautiful! It took about an hour to hike but it didn’t seem like that long. It went by so fast and we got completely wet! We went tubing down one of the rivers. We had to drive all the way up this mountain type thing and we floated all the way down and it was so lush and so green!
We wish we would have had more time in Jamaica other than a few hours but it was worth it and so much fun! 
 Day 6: Another day at Sea and Last day on the ship
Our honeymoon was so much fun and such a great start to our marriage! It was the best vacation ever and I’m so glad I get many many more with my wonderful husband! Marriage is the best and I’m so lucky to of gotten the best guy out there for me!! I love him to pieces!! J
