Caribbean Vacation
I just got back from a week-long vacation in the caribbean! Here's some pictures I took with my new-to-me digital camera. I'll have a few new images coming soon of my snorkelling/sting ray encounters!

   
Anita and Michelle vamping it up in our cabin
A couple of the pools aboard our ship, "The Voyager of the Seas".
At dock in Miami, before departure.
Anita and her mother Liz at the rail, before departure.
Michelle, Anita and Liz as we leave dock.
Liz and Michelle, perusing the ship's offerings.
One of the dining rooms on board. Some of them were named after operas.
The entrance to the ship's casino, named the "Casino Royale"
An example of the cruise line's idea of stylistic restraint.
The entrance to the ship's theater, "La Scala".
A potential infringement in the casino.
More detail! More!
We're out at sea. Weird to have no visible land anywhere in sight.
Too small to swin in, but great for displaying your recent cosmetic surgery.
Liz on deck.
The climbing wall and basket ball court. "This mall has everything!"
Another view of the climbing wall.
At sea.
There were two formal-dress dinners on board. Anita perpares for the first one!
All of us dressed for dinner!
Anita and I dressed to the 11's.
Liz and Michelle at dinner.
Anita's dad Michael, and his wife, Linda.
Little Michael, dapper for dinner.
It's their anniversary! Aww.
One of the shuttlecraft-like lifeboats, out for a test run.
Another of the ship's restaurants.
Did I mention this ship was big?
Our ship at port in Jamaica.
You just can't escape work! A "Nemo" banner hangs at a Jamaican theater.
Our ship at dock in Jamaica. Rum is, not surprisingly, rather cheap.
Trash in Jamaica.
Another view of the ship.
Anita and Liz returning to the ship.
All aboard!
Another view of Jamaica from the dock.
Anita and I at our second dress-up dinner. I still look like a priest.
More smooching. Good grief!
Michelle warned us, but we took this picture anyway.
Just before sunrise on board.
The rising sun lights up the clouds...
...bit by bit...
Part of the miniature golf course, just after sunrise.
...here comes the sun...
...there we go!
We gathered here at the La Scalla to prepare for one of our excursions.
Another angle of the La Scalla. I don't think they show films here, sadly.
A ship from the equally huge Princess cruise line.
We depart for Mexico. Lots of others cruise ships gather there as well.
Ruins in Mexico.
We enter the ruins. It's really hot and humid.
An iguana in Mexico.
A food storage pit.
Aniother view of the pit.
These buildings were built so that the sun could shine through all of them.
At a certain point in the year. the sun would light the front of the compound.
A burial area. We had a lot of travelling to do just to get to the compound.
After that, we only had about fifteen minutes to look through the ruins.
Facial detail in one of the buildings.
A wider shot of the same structure.
My last shot as I scrambled away. I was the last person on the gangplank.
A sister ship next to ours in Mexico.
Leaving Mexico. We did some snorkling at another area -- lots of fish to see!
Banyan trees in Miami.
Don't tell me what to do!
