We set sail before dinner but still managed a walk on the deck on our way down to the dining room. This is Ft. Lauderdale as we head out on our adventure.
We woke up in Key West for a short layover. We all went ashore but dispersed early. The Sharmas spent some time walking around with Opa. We met up with Karl, Lisa, Brandon and Oma after their parasailing trip.
Day two found us in Cozumel. Our shore excursion took us to an "all inclusive" beach called Playa Mia. It wasn't quite as inclusive as we'd been lead to believe but the water was warm and a pool close at hand when the salt and sand became overwhelming.
Day three was spent in Costa Maya, Mexico. The water here was by far the prettiest. We started off at the crocodile park and then split up. Sunil and I went back aboard to relax while Sid and Sheela joined up with the Luke and Karl, et al for some snorkeling.
Day four was by far my favorite. We went to a beach in Georgetown, Grand Caymen with the other "kids" for a wonderful day of just goofing around.
Day five was spent underway playing a cutthroat game of Risk or sleeping depending on your temperament. I'm told that Sid and Brandon were the last two standing. Tradition has it that we only play to the last two players or the game would never end.
Day six found us back in Ft. Lauderdale for our goodbyes. Luke, Carie, Katie and Kyle had an early flight back to Michigan. The rest of us stayed as long as possible and then went to a motel on the beach to spend the day. It made a nice transition to the "real world". Karl, Lisa, Brandon and James flew back to Arizona in the later afternoon.
Dad and Eileen left this morning for their drive home and we flew home from Miami.
