My family and I haven’t taken an extended vacation in many, many years so we were quite overdue. After much discussion we decided to take a 7-day cruise to the Western Caribbean. We visited Cozumel, Belize, Isla Roatan, and Costa Maya. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate most of the time and it even led to some of our pre-planned tours being cancelled. That didn’t stop us from taking alternative tours and got to explore the countries to see both the typical tourist sites along with how people in those countries actually live.
Although we didn’t get much sunny beach time, one of the big highlights was visiting some Mayan ruins. Very beautiful and interesting to learn the history behind it.
Here are a few pics and you can check for more on my Flickr page as I upload more when I get time. I’d also like to say thanks to the WC team for covering for me while I was gone.
