As I'd mentioned before, this was our second time on the same ship. Our last cruise made three stops. This time we hit four ports of call. Now those of you who have cruised before know about the debate between paying for an excursion and doing it on your own.
To understand our situation, there are two things you must know about Morgan and myself. We are not the most adventurous, and we can travel on a budget. Seriously. We will do what we need to to get the most out of vacation. The stories I could tell about Australia...
Several years ago I went to Cayman on my family's cruise for GB & GB's 50th anniversary. On that occasion I joined my cousins for snorkeling, the beach, and lunch. So, thinking about my experiences at this port of call and the expense of paying for 4 shore excursions, we decided to not do an organized trip. Our goal for this trip was to crash out on as many beaches as possible. I think we chose well!
We started out walking around. Morgan wanted to open an account in a Cayman bank, but he settled for a picture outside one of the many banks. (See the above budget reference!) We walked around and then took the $4 taxi to the beach. Nice!
The weather was ever so slightly rough, but the beach was lovely. We got to try out the "beach" setting on the camera. (Have I mentioned how much fun I had with the new camera?)
In typical fashion, Morgan fell asleep. In typical fashion he denied really being asleep. "I'm just resting my eyes..." Well, I have the proof!

Yay! That was great! Can't wait to hear about Roatan. We did NOT have a good time there. :o( Hope yours was better!
I'm glad you enjoyed the Caymans. It rained on us when we were there. Did you know that is where The Firm was filmed?
LOL... love the videos of Morgan. The first one reminds me of videos I've taken of my husband. :)
