Rummler's in the Caribbean

We just got home from our amazing honeymoon trip to the Southern Caribbean. We had so much fun and wish we could have stayed longer. We did so many new things on this trip. This was Jared's first cruise, and he loved it. Something we took advantage of on this trip was getting multiple desserts at dinner. Jared was really happy about that.

We started our cruise by flying to San Juan, Puerto Rico. It took us about 10 hours to get there. We ended up getting into Puerto Rico at 12:30pm. The hotel we were staying at that night was crazy. It seemed like they had originally had it as a nightclub then added rooms later. There was loud music going on until around 3am. So, needless to say we didn't get much sleep that night.

This is a picture of our cruise ship. We sailed on the Royal Caribbean "Adventure of the Sea"

Our first island that we went to was Barbados. We took a taxi to another part of the island to go snorkeling. While we were driving we saw where Tiger Woods was married. That was kinda cool. While we were snorkeling we saw a ton of fish, however, I cut my foot on a rock. We also went on jet ski's... that was my first time riding one. It was so much fun. I let Jared do all the driving up until the very end. He was having fun trying to jump over waves and knock me off the boat. Thankfully I didn't fall off.

The second island that we went to was St. Lucia. It was so beautiful. The whole island was like a tropical rain forest. We went on a canopy tour (zip line) excursion. That was probably our favorite excursion that we did. I was really nervous the whole ride there. Our driver didn't help calm my nerves because of how crazy he was driving. After we got there and we got all suited up I started to relax.

Jared and I during our canopy tour on a platform. They made us wear these hair nets because of the rain... so unattractive.

This was about the 3rd platform... I was starting to get the hang of things and was really excited for more lines.

Here I go!!!

There goes Jared!!!

Our guide told us that the last line was the best because it was the longest and the fastest. It was so cool starting out through the trees then all of a sudden there is nothing around you and you can just see the plants and such below you. It was such an amazing feeling and we both can't wait to go again.

The next day we were in Antigua... that was our favorite place. Our guide said that they have 365 beaches... one for every day of the year. At this island we went on a catamaran and snorkel tour. during our snorkel we saw a lot of fish and a stingray. We also went to see a ship wreck. After snorkeling we had lunch on the boat then went to one of the beaches that was in a cove, and hung out there for a while. If we were to go back to any island on this trip it would definately be Antigua.

Our next stop was St. Maarten... we decided to take a break from the shore excursions and just hang out at the beach. So we rented some beach chairs and also rented a jet ski again. It was a nice relxing day for us.

The last island was St. Thomas. We went on a Kayak and snorkel tour. The kayaking was my favorite. Our guide said that we kayaked for atleast 2 miles and burned 700 calories doing it. We learned so much about the island and the marine life that lived there. We had a little hermet crab race before going snorkeling. While we were in the water we saw a lot of fish, 2 stingrays and 2 baracudas.
