Default The Newlyweds (pic heavy)

We havent got the pictures from the wedding back yet, but here are some shots from the honeymoon. We went on a Carnival Cruise to Progresso and Cozumel Mexico and had a hell of a good time.


Carnival Triumph - Yes the one that caught fire in the gulf of mexico and stranded itself adrift without power or running water - fortunately that didnt happen this time



Bride and Groom



Our Stateroom



Passing the USS Stewart at Seawolf Park on the way out of port



USS Cavalla and Stewart



Main Lobby Bar was a beauty



Drinks and a Cigar at the Ship's Cigar Bar



First day at sea, the sunrise was amazing.



Ready for breakfast



Not much to do on a sea day besides eat, get drunk, and explore the ship for things to get into. I wont two awards for movie trivia and consumed about $250 worth of various alcoholic beverages LOL



By the time we reached the Port of progresso, the two of us were pretty hung over so we spent the day on the beach in hammocks alternating our gaze from the Beach Bar ...



... to the beach ...



... To a sea gull who seemed to feel the same as we did. LOL



Cozumel Mexico, aboard the boat that took us to the Atlantis Submarine tour



Our descent into the depths passing through 52 feet



The view of the coral from the sub... unfortunately due to the diffusion of natural light as we went deeper, most of the pictures we took didnt turn out well at all. Pretty much just a blurry light blue hue of a glob, we reached a depth of 115 feet ultimately. saw some rays, tropical fish, lobsters and reef and a reef ship sunk several years ago. I thought it was funny that during our return to the surface the crew played over the speaker system



The sun starting to set on our last day at sea



Arriving back in port by days end... we were ready to be back home to Texas!

Thanks for viewing!

Congratulations!

Lovely couple, great pics. I can see that gull one being some internet meme,something along the lines of 'Best weather for six months - partied too hard last night', but prolly funnier.

One last compliment, you look younger than I imagined. Always had you down as some wizened old fact.

Congrats.

And here I was, all these years, thinking you were an old bugger.
..........You're younger than me.

Congratulations. Great pictures, looks like you had a good time.
She is way too hot for you (of course, people say the same about my wife and me, and I agree).
Is that a fire department shirt I saw on her?
Were you trying to line up an attack on the submarine trip?

Thank you... she got the local FD shirt as part of some sort of fund raiser.

While the sub trip was cool, i did find myself guessing range and AOB in my head on the various ships out at sea
