Wow, great pics Augie.

LMAO at the Gus the Monkey towel. So cute.

Eeek! How was the ziplining? I'm pretty sure I could never do that. You're so brave.

Cozumel looks gorgeous. DH & I really want to see the Mayan ruins.

Wow, the shopping area of the ship looks awesome.

Did you have a blast? Are you glad you did it?

Thanks for sharing the pics Augie and I'm glad to see you back.

*smooch*

I so glad that you shared your pictures. The towel animals are funny. The scenery and sunset pictures are gorgeous. I need to know more about ziplining. I think you now qualify to be on TAR. I enjoyed the same ruins...lots of walking, though! Welcome home!

I'm so jealous over the ziplining. I can't wait to try that.
Great pics, Augie. It looks like you had a wonderful time. Yay for you. *smooch*

I agree, that Cozumel pic is screen saver worthy. We forgot our camera on Cozumel day, so it was nice to be reminded how beautiful the water was.

Our cruise went to the same ports (plus Guatemala and Honduras) We did our ziplining in Roatan, Honduras and did not have helmets. :-)

Royal Carribean seems to have the best onboard shopping.

Yay! Beautiful! I went to Tulum! I went to Tulum! My pictures don't look that good!

What was your favorite?

By the way...I really, really miss you over in Lost. *cries Zombie tears*

I went to Tulum and Chichin Itza when I was in Cancun.

That settles it! We're all going on a bloggy cruise together.

Ziplining was DA BOMB! So much fun! It takes place in the rainforest and you have to hike a bit up to the starting place where you get all geared up. Then you have to climb up a ton of stairs to get to the first platform. Major cardio! *pants*

There are 8 platforms along the way. You zip your way down the trail. The very last platform you have to repel down by stepping off backwards and just going straight down. That was hard! I had one moment of hesitation, but did it and squealed the whole way. *grin*

Everyone who did it wanted to do it again. Too.Much.Fun.

Did you get to meet Carl Hiiasen while you were in the Everglades?

Bravie, I wasn't in the Everglades. The port at Fort Lauderdale is called Port Everglades, which is in Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale is not in the Everglades.

Got it?

Love the pictures Augie! I so want to do a zip line!

Cozumel is absolutely beautiful, isn't it! Postcard perfect.

I love the Gus towel! I've seen a lot of different towel creations, but never a monkey!

*smooooch* Glad you had such a nice trip!

Beautiful photos!

We have a zip line in the backyard, but I'm sure it was better in a rain forest, and higher, and more thrilling.

Looks like a great trip!
