I'm Back!!! Enjoy the Pics!

So, the trip is over...booo - I soooo wanna go back. But now it's back to reality. I snapped about 600 pictures. I think I only posted 150-something or other.

UPDATE: I just realized that it's going to take me allll day to caption all these pictures. I can't possibly caption all these pictures, can I? There are waaay too many.



Enjoy!

Some statue in the airport in Ft. Lauderdale...I thought it'd be a good thing to take a picture of

  3. More captions! I need captions! Looks just lovely, Darius, but the towel sculptures need explaining.

  4. Welcome back Darius! Love, love the pictures! It looks like you had a wonderful time.

    I fell so in love with The Caymans I seriously considered leaving my hubby for the toothless captain of our fishing boat, so I could stay there and fish for lobster everyday. In the end, I returned to reality, but I regretted not staying there forever.

    No need to caption anything; you can easily figure it out just by looking at it, and it looks like you had a wonderful time!

    Welcome back, Darius =)

  17. Welcome back. What fabulous photos. Thanks for sharing.

    It brought back memories. I went on a Princess cruise a few years ago and also went to Grand Cayman and Jamaica (my photos if you're bored http://www.rachelandkevin.com/cruise/index.htm). I really miss having a winter holiday!

    What did you think of the food on Princess? I found it was good, but not mind-blowing. I think one of my favorite things on the cruise was a pesto lasagne at the buffet!
