Wednesday - Cozumel
We had the Cozumel Beach Break booked, we took the bus to Playa Mia Beach. It was all inclusive, open bar, buffet, beach floats, water trampoline, climbing iceburg, pool, etc. It was a great day, beautiful water and the drinks were a flowing
. Let's just say DH made friends with the bartender at Playa Mia and he gave him some of his Private Tequila Stock. 
Overall, we had a great beach day, very relaxing. At 3:00pm it was time to get back on the bus to go back to the ship, they dropped us off right down town near the pier. We didn't do any shopping. DD was quiet tired and just wanted to go back to the ship.
Went back to the ship and relaxed a little bit before dinner, trying to get our second wind, since tonight is
Night. We got dressed in our costumes and made our way downstairs to have our picture taken with Capt. Jack Sparrow. We felt he was great in his character and actions, but he didn't look a whole lot like him. Had dinner in Lumiere's with the Pirate Show (yo ho ho, a pirate's life for me), sorry I keep singing that song 
After dinner we went up to deck 9 to find a seat for the party. We had a great time and the fireworks were AWESOME!!!! We never made it to the Pirate Buffet, still to full from dinner! After the Pirate party, we called it a night.
Thursday - AT SEA
Nothing much to report for today, very relaxing day at Sea! Also, we have been home 10 days now and I'm starting to forget the details.
Next cruise I am definately taking a journal with me and writing things down.
Thursday Evening
Dinner was at AP tonight, but me and DH were going to PALO
. Mike and Cathe were nice of enough to keep Rebecca for us while we went. Thanks again, Mike and Cathe!!! So off we went to PALO, we requested Ann Marie. She was Mike and Cathe's server earlier in the week and they said she was fabulous and they were absolutely right!!!! . We started out with drinks, DH had a nuts and berry martini (had heard so much about it on these boards) and said it was great! I had my favorite drink, an appletini and it was just as good. Then we had the appetizer, which was a pizza....and i'm sorry I forget what was on it, but it was incredible. DH had rack of lamb for dinner and I had the lobster. It was the 1st time for us having dinner at Palo and it will not be our last!!! I know Ann Marie brought us out several other items, but my mind is gone . But like I said, it was all wonderful!!! For dessert we had the chocolate souffle, tiramisu and DH had something pistachio. I have read so many threads on here about the souffle and I kept saying "how good can it be", well let's just say I ate every last drop of it!!! I can't wait to go back again just to have that 
. Overall, our experience at PALO was just heavenly!!! After Palo, we met back up with Rebecca, Mike, Cathe and Cheyenne at Disney Dreams. After the show, the girls went to the kids club and the adults went to Rockin Bar D to see NTWINE perform 
. We met up with Suzymouse and DH (well he was actually in Diversions watching the Rutgers game) but joined us when the game was over. . After NTWINE was done performing, Rich Purpura came on....what a funny guy!!!! We had an awesome time hanging out with everybody!!! After that, we called it a night...need our rest for Castaway Cay!!!
Friday - Castaway Cay!
We had an absolutely great day on Castaway Cay, hanging out with our friends. The kids played together and the adults relaxed and had a few cocktails. At 1:30 me and DD had a reservation for parasailing. She was a little hesitant since she had never done it before. I did it for the first time last year on Castaway Cay and loved it. We got to the boat and went out with a great group of people, most of the people on the boat had never done it before. Well, it was our turn, at first DD was nervous but once we got up there, she absolutely loved it and says she can't wait to do it again next year. We saw some flying fish while we were out there and the water was just beautiful. I highly recommend parasailing at CC. After parasailing we went back to the beach to meet up with DH, all of our friends had left for either excursions or to go back to the ship. So we made our way back to the ship also. Goodbye
CC, well see you next Nov. Went back to the ship and DD swam for a few minutes before it was time to get ready for dinner. Got ready for dinner and packed the last of our things (we did most of our packing on Thursday). It was sad to think our cruise was just about over. 
More to come later on.

We had an absolute blast with our friends this week and are truly blessed to have met them, 
We gathered our belongings and made our way off the ship, getting our luggage and going through customs was very easy. We grabbed a cab and headed back to the Residence Inn. We had an extra day there before we headed back to NJ. Spent the day relaxing and going swimming in the pool. Went to dinner at Fishlips, great place and good food and the best thing about it was we got to see the MAGIC go out on Saturday evening. It goes right passed Fishlips, so we got some more pictures, it was great!!!!! 
due to bad weather in Philly. It was a really LONG DAY!!!! We finally landed in Philly at about 11:00 pm, 6 hours after we were supposed to land.
.However I would have to survive my blushing bride. 
Just watch out for that perv!! 
(Sorry Mike..you know I love ya!)
