Creating a Blog, the Wedding and the Cruise

I figured I would jump on the bandwagon and create a blog. This is probably the last thing I should be doing with the huge pile of thank you notes looming. I should probably invest my time there, but the computer seems to hold a little more fascination at the moment. I don't guess I really have much to say and nobody will even read this to tell you the truth but why not, right?

Daniel and I have been married for all of 11 days now. We had a beautiful wedding with lots of family and friends. It was more than either one of us could have asked for, and we are very appreciative of all our families did. It is funny because we spent so much time just planning for that day and most of it is a blur. We haven't gotten the pics from the photographer yet, but I am looking forward to seeing them.

Our cruise to Mexico was fantastic! We spent Saturday night of the wedding in NLR and were awaken just before midnight to fireworks at the Travs game. We got up early Sunday and drove to Mobile and spent Sunday night at the Radisson in downtown Mobile. It was fantastic. The Admiral Semmes is old hotel that has been elaborately remolded to preserve the marble staircase, gorgeous chandelier and rotunda, and original lobby decor. We got up Monday and enjoyed a nice breakfast at Oliver's and went back to our room to finish repacking. At 11:00, we caught the shuttle to the cruise port and were dropped off at the main entrance to the port. It only took about 30 minutes to get through the paperwork and lines, and we were allowed to board the Elation. After boarding the ship, we found the Lido Deck and enjoyed a buffet lunch. We explored awhile and then our room was ready. We spent most of the week enjoying the ship and the wonderful food. On Wednesday we arrived in Cozumel. The morning was spent shopping and in the afternoon we took the AquaTwister boat to Passion Island for an afternoon of relaxation and good food. We came back in time to get back on board. It was amazing minus the horrible sunburn we both got despite all the sunscreen. On Thursday we arrived in Calica, Mexico and took the tour bus to Chichen Itza. We saw lots of Mayan Communities and handicrafts. Chichen Itza was a great experience although we were only there 2 hours and then back to the ship after lunch. I got lots of great pics. We didn't get back to the ship until almost 4:45 with the ship closing the doors behind us. We came back towards Mobile on Friday and on Saturday we arrived in port and drove home. Since then we are adjusting to the real world again and dealing with all the fun of changing my name and all the paperwork that accompanies it.

Well that is it for now.
