The Kemp 5

CRUISIN'

For our graduation, as a present to ourselves for working so hard, we went on a cruise to the Caribbean. Our great friends from Arizona, Zach & Andrea, came with us. We were well known on the ship because we could have so much fun with out drinking. We played hard and ate ALOT! It was a blast!

Our 1st port of call: Costa Maya!

Our first island was fun. We were just testing the waters and the atmosphere. We went snorkeling and had our own little cabana. We were able to use the paddle boats and kayaks and had a little sun. The drinks were terrible, the boys got fried, but we had a good first day on this island.

A donkey on the beach? Who could pass up that photo opportunity?!

Our 2nd port of call: Belize!!

This island has about 20 other little islands that surround it. We took a water taxi to one of the two that are populated, Caye Caulker. We did snorkeling on this island but this time we got to swim SHARKS & STING RAYS!!! It was nerve raking at first but then it was just amazing that we were swimming them. We also snorkeled around the largest barrier reef. Our guide for this trip was a man by the name of (his island name) Harry Coconut! He took us to see the "split". Basically their island was split in half when hit by a hurricane. Now it's a hot spot for tourists!

This sting ray to the left was huge!! He looked like he was really old and had been sitting under the sand just waiting for us to come. Haha! The picture really doesn't do it justice.

Harry Coconut! Respect!!

Our 3rd port of call: Roatan!!

What a beautiful island! It was mountainous and covered in green jungle. We went zip lining and had our own guide named Alonzo. He was great. He showed different things on the island including there first golf course ever, it was BEAUTIFUL! If we were to choose one island to come back to it would be Roatan. (a future golf and spa vacation). They have an airport that has flights that fly right from Florida and it's only about 2 hours.
