The cruise was awesome!


Well we are back home and unfortunately back to reality. I will give you a short synopsis of our travels, we had the opportunity of seeing a few of the islands, in the Caribbean, we had not yet seen and they were all great. But... i would have to say my favorite was Bonnaire.

First we set off from Fortladerdale Florida and made our way to Aruba were we did a couple of dives, we thought that would be best since we've seen the Island before, but the visibility was not the best and there were way way to many other divers. We then went to Bonnaire, WOW! Bonnaire was so incredible!!! I would have to say that, of all the dives we have ever done, the dives here were the most incredible. The reefs in Bonnaire are so pristine and the waters so clear, you can see quite a ways out,(I have some pictures above and trust me the water is at least 40 or 50 feet deep, yet it looks like about 5 feet deep.) we had the opportunity of seeing some fantastic sea life, but i unfortunately didn't get pictures of the turtles, squid, lobster and barracuda, my camera decided not to work, but.. i did post some pic from our next islands diving, which was Grenada, we dove again cuz we had been to this Island before also.

The dives in Grenada were good but...not...quite like Bonnaire.(we have been spoiled now. i think it might be hard to match Bonnaire again.)

Our next Island we hit was Dominica, what a beautiful Island, We met some very interesting caricatures there! We were serenaded by and very tall, some what unkept native Dominican with long shaggy dreads and all of about about one tooth. he sang and played his ukulele for us! A very interesting song as well, i think he was making it up as he went along. (the pics in the rain forest were in Dominica.) I heard that this Island is a great place to dive also, so we may have to go back and stay one of these days.

Our next stop was St. Thomas and we just made our way over to St. John again and explored the Island. the Anaburg ruins are cool to see and the beaches of course are some of the best in the world. and last, yet not least, we stoped in Princess Cays Bahamas were we just hung out on the beach for the day.

So the cruise, once again, was worth doing and of course to short.
