Bye!

Well, we're off! Here's our itinerary if you want to keep track.

Friday: We left our house around 5:30 PM and driving to Pompano Beach, Florida. It is a 14.5 hour drive (yikes!). You can see our route here. We are hoping, praying even, that Lauren sleeps most of the way. We should arrive in Pompano Beach around noon Saturday.

Saturday: We are going to see about checking into the hotel early and hopefully taking a nap. Then we'll just hang out at the beach the rest of the day and then find somewhere to eat.
Our hotel - Beachcomber Resort and Villas

Sunday: We have to pick my dad up at the airport at 5:00 AM. I'm still not sure why he was compelled to book the red-eye flight, but whatever. Another beach day and hopefully we'll get to squeeze in a nap.
New hotel for Sunday - Comfort Inns and Suites, Fort Lauderdale.

Monday: We leave on our cruise! The boat sails at 5:00 PM; I'm hoping on being on-board by noon.
Our cruise: Royal Carribean's Enchantment of the Seas

Tuesday: Key West! My cousin, Trisha, is getting married at a botanical garden in the afternoon, so we won't have much time to explore the area. This is also formal night on the cruise, so we'll be getting all dressed up!
The Key West Tropical Forest and Botanical Garden

Wednesay: Today we're in Cozumel!!! I'm so excited for this day. We are spending the day at Paradise Beach. We are going to rent kayacks and snorkel gear and drink foo-foo drinks on the beach all day! Sounds like a good time to me!
Paradise Beach

Thursday: Belize! We don't have anything planned yet for Belize. We may still book an excursion, depending on how tired we are and how Lauren is acting. All of the "good" excursions are too wild for Lauren, so we may just stay on board and soak up the sun.

Friday: We are at sea all day. We will be spending the day relaxing in the sun with more foo-foo drinks and lots of food!

Saturday: We get back to Fort Lauderdale around 7:00 AM and disembark. Boo hoo. We're staying in Fort Lauderdale at some Best Western (better find the print out for that, LOL).

Sunday: Driving back home. Not looking forward to this AT ALL!!! We may end up leaving late Saturday night, depending on how tired we are.

Monday: Back to reality. Belch.

Hope you all have a good week! I hope we do, too!
