The cruise to Mexico was amazing! We signed up for the cheapest (that is merely a relative term when it comes to cruise fares) room in the inner bottom of the boat, but they moved us up to a nice room with a huge window at the front of the ship.

The cruise was 7 nights, with two full days in Cabo San Lucas and one in Puerto Vallarta. We went parasailing and rode wave runners while there which was amazing! At one point, we were jet skiing around Lover's Beach on the far side of the cruise ship when a manta ray flew out of the water and did a backflip before sliding back into the water, just 20 feet in front of us! It did it a total of 3 times all around us--coolest thing ever! Caitlin--who was almost too terrified to take a turn driving the wave runner the first time--ended up being a maniac on waves! She almost bucked us both off several times! I must say, I didn't see it coming.
We may or may not have burned ourselves pretty badly as well while there. Definitely worth it though! There is nothing better, by the way, than eating away the pain at all-you-can-eat buffets with unlimited ice cream bar access.
Another necessary detail, despite intense wind on our days at sea, Caitlin and I still managed the accomplishment of hole-in-one's on 5 of the 9 mini golf holes and 2-putts on the remaining holes! Crazy skill! These were par 3 holes, mind you!
That sounds amazing! I hope you guys come out to visit us in Lexington, soon :) I'm glad you guys made good use of the free ice cream--that's one of the best parts of a cruise!! Congratulations!!
