December 31st--Cozumel, Mexico

It has been a great day!! This  morning Anne and I woke up a little early and walked around the upper deck. It was nice to chit chat.  Although we've been together all week, I feel like we hadn't talked much so it was nice! 

Then  we decided to not do an excursion and trusted a travel agent that mom talked to on the boat which said to go to Paradise Beach.  Boy was that agent right!!

It was absolutely beautiful. It was a $40 taxi ride for 10 of us (Anne, Nolan, Peter, Mary Kay, Dan, Dad, Mom, Drew, Thom, and me).  Then $3 to use a beach chair. We chose to pay $18 to use all of the water equipment. 

They had a PHENOMENAL water inflatable toys. We got to play on all of them!! It was sooo fun! Drew, Thom, Anne and I all got passes. We had a blast!!

Dad, Mom and Nolan went jet skiing for 30 minutes. 

Peter loved playing in the sand.

They also had a beautiful pool that was heated. This  place had a resort feel without the resort.  Because we got there early we also had the place to ourselves for a bit. It was so much fun!

We went paddleboarding which was fun! But then Drew fell off his board in shallow water and cut his knee pretty bad. To clean it they put iodine and chlorine water on it. It just so happened that a doctor that Thom and Drew met two evenings ago at the Johnnie Walker tasting was there. He was able to give Drew an antibacterial thing and offered to use the liquid stitching that he had on the ship for him later.  Very kind of him.

After a bit we headed back to the shops. I got some vanilla, but found out that it isn't the true real pure vanilla as that is very expensive and they don't sell it at the ports or shops close here.

After bartering with Ken at the port, Thom and I are now enjoying chips and salsa at Senor Frogs.  Soon we will head back to the boat for our New Year's Eve fun!
