Heaven part 2

Jamaica and Cozumel were both stops on the cruise.  While parts of Jamaica were beautiful, I would never want to go there again.  For the most part, Jamaica is run down and a mess.  The people are rude and the taxi drivers were pushy and dishonest!!! Steer clear of Jamaica if you have the chance.  Jake and Julie explored the rain forest by going on zip lines through the canopy while Jay and I tried to have a decent sight-seeing trip around the island.  But it did not turn out so well.  But we did not let it get to us and we still had fun the rest of the day doing some shopping on our own.  Cozumel was beautiful and restful, the people were friendly, and the taxi drivers were REGULATED!  It was $6 into town and $6 back to the ship.  All the same price.  That made it so much easier.  The kids had a blast with all the shopping there.  Jay and I found a nice beach to soak up the sun and do some snorkeling one last time.

Jamaica is beautiful from afar, just not close up!

Heading back to the ship after another fun day

When we came back from breakfast one morning this was on our door

Jay had called ahead and told them it would be my birthday, so they decorated the room!
