unBELIZEable

I have become the most boring blogger ever I feel.
Its taken me way to long to blog about our trip, I almost cant even remember the details which is exactly why I have a blog in the first place, as my journal!
We had a really fun time in Belize. It was of course...raining, but still a great time.
Russ and I went cave tubing while my parents shopped around town.

We took a couple hr bus ride to a beautiful jungle area where we got our tubes, and floated through a cave.
As we were driving through town I couldnt believe the poverty in Belize.
I think I have mentioned this, but when I travel somewhere I really like to put myself in their daily lives and think about what all these people are doing during the day, and the things they eat, and the homes they go home to..and then I jump back to my life, my days, our food, my house...there is a whole world out there. Dang, I wish I could see it all. Traveling, best education out there I think.
Back to cave tubing.
Getting our tubes..

Russ was the only guy in our group, just his style.

Going into the cave. The water was so pretty and clear, and cold.

Inside the cave.



We look really slimy and disgusting but a memory is a memory.


The next day we were supposed to go to Honduras. I was most looking forward to Honduras, to see the country and to go zip lining. I LOVE zip lining.

And this was as close to Honduras as I got. Stupid wind.


We made the most of the time onboard. They werent able to re-route us so we ended up playing a fun game of BINGO, sitting in the hot tub..

Eating free sushi...



Getting golf lessons

Then ending the night with some formal attire, and fine dining.

Quite possibly the most awkward guy Ive ever met, also known as...I cant even remember his name. He was so weird, my mind chose to forget him almost completely.

This night was the rockiest it had been as far as waves. I had to go straight to bed before I lost it, but not before taking a cruise picture!
I watched hundreds of people get the most ridiculous pictures in the most ridiculous poses, I couldnt help it..

I love Russ's face in that picture. Its the look of..not another Chelsea idea. You're a good sport Mr.
My beautiful mom

On our way back the boat was rocking so hard my parents were holding on to each other. I thought it was sweet :)


Some other pictures aboard the Valor..

These guys were amazing break dancers. Amazing.

Whats a cruise without overweight people, food (those go hand and hand), silly pictures, and towel animals!!

They didnt mess around with their hand dryers.

Mexican buffet at midnight? Why not..

I had a fabulous time. I was so happy I got to spend it with the people I did.
We had so much fun, we even put a down payment for another cruise. Yahoo..cant wait.
In this picture you will see one person who doesnt want to leave and one person that looks happier to leave. You can decide.

Cheetos, check. Book, check. Sucker, check. Neck pillow, check check check. Cap'n, we're ready for take off.

Caving in a tunnel sounds so exciting. Thanks for sharing the pics (and why was Mr. Awkward sitting between your parents? I feel bad for them!)!!
