More "cruising"

I apologize ahead of time. I am so absolutely geeked about this cruise that it it almost all I can think about! I know it's a ways away yet...but I am so excited.

So last night, Matt and I had to choose our shore excursions. I thought this would be fairly straightforward. However, there was SOO much to choose from. I told Matt that i really wanted to do something fairly adventurous. Some of the choices sound absolutely frightening, like cave tubing!!! Are you serious?!?!?!?! What about bacteria? (Tarzan reference there) More importantly, how about crocodiles and piranha??? So we won't be doing that. Here's what we settled on to do in Belize City....


Enter a cavernous tunnel which leads to a primeval rain forest encircled by crevassed rock walls more than 100-feet tall, for your canopy tour of the Lost World Cave. There are five zip lines, ranging from 100-500 feet in length, taking you across the fallen ceiling of this enormous pre-historic cave. Your internationally-trained guides will outfit you with your helmet, harness and gloves and provide you with a detailed safety briefing. Soar from platform to platform like Tarzan and Jane, high above the floor of the densely populated forest. Your last traverse takes you to a rock ledge protruding from the side of the large tunnel-like entrance into the cave, ending with a rappel to the floor.



Fairly daring eh? Our second excursion was a no brainer.....




Standing on a submerged platform, enter the water and be introduced to your dolphin friend. Enjoy this rare opportunity to touch the sleek and playful animal, and pose for a dolphin kiss. You'll be led into deeper waters where you'll be pushed by your dolphin while on a boogie board, pulled by their pectoral swims and snorkel with the dolphin. Marvel at the grace and intelligence of these incredible creatures as they perform fast swims, high jumps and other breathtaking tricks. Free time is available.



I know it's fairly cliche....but seriously...how often do you get a chance like that?!?!?!?


66 DAYS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!
