I Swam with a SHARK!!!!

Okay, let’s get this straight right now… there is now no other way for me to ever be able to celebrate New Year’s Eve. When we got to dinner, they had hats for us, and then later they gave us noisemakers (with our table, that was a BAD idea… but a funny one). The waiters sang and danced, which was awesome, and everybody was all dressed up for the evening. Then we went up on the Lido deck, which is where the main pool area is, and partied and counted down until midnight! The ship blew its horn and we all drank champagne. I have a few funny pics from last night that I wanted to share with y’all too.

This one isn’t really funny… just me and Abbie, gussied up for the New Year!

This one is why they shouldn’t have given us noisemakers… seriously… we almost peed our pants from laughing so hard. At one point I think Matt had four horns in his mouth at once and then Christian tried to put all of the ones from our table in his mouth as well. Nimesh (our waiter for the trip) thought that was amusing.

Now onto today… with the BEST EXCURSION EVER!!! I went snorkeling and kayaking today in Cozumel… as well as had some amazing Mexican food, got to hold a starfish, and played some sand volleyball. There were only 14 of us and we were on the most remote beach like EVER!! No children (thank goodness after yesterday), and there were no other people. However, let me share with you what I actually got to see while snorkeling… because our leader had NO FEAR! The fish were phenomenal, but my personal favorites were the SHARK, lobster, and stingrays that we saw. No joke… saw a shark. I’ll be it that it was a little shark, but it was a shark nevertheless!! This was the coolest thing EVER, cause the shark literally swam directly underneath me, and I hope that the picture turns out that I took of it! Then he got a lobster to come out of hiding and a yellow spotted stingray… all of which were AMAZING!! So, I’m a happy camper…. Minus the sunburn, cause that is pretty bad.

Here’s a picture of the beaches as we were leaving the area… look at how clear the water is!!
