CRUISE!

I realized I haven't blogged in over a month, oops! I was doing pretty well for awhile! That's ok, September has been a busy month.  Jeromy and I went on our first cruise together for 7 days on the Carnival Conquest. We stopped in Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. It was a great time together and we learned a few things along the way. 
1. We are 5 day cruisers...7 days on a boat was a long time, we missed home and were ready to be back!
2. A balcony room would be awesome next time. We had an inside room that was handicap and you'd think that would mean it was bigger but they threw an extra bed in there when the room is only made for one bed so we had absolutely no room to walk. We like to watch the water so we will be splurging for the balcony next time!
3. Bring your own Dr. Pepper! We had our own water but didn't think about the cokes, oops.
4. We needed a backpack to carry all our stuff in port. We had a bag but it got heavy to carry.
5. Self assist is the way to go...we had to wait so much longer to get off the boat which made the line really long. You live, you learn!

That was the top 5 things we learned. I was nervous about not knowing what to take or what to expect but now I know! Hope the next one is sooner rather than later!

Here are my favorite pictures from the trip (its so hard to pick just a few!!):
