50th Birthday Cruise - Cozumel

On Friday, I woke up to the sounds of our neighbors moving their chairs around on their balconies.  I knew immediately they were preparing to watch sunrise.  So once again, I was up to see the sunrise!  It was cloudy, but still nice to see.



A couple of hours later we were docking in Cozumel.




Our plan for today was to spend the day at the Nachi Cocum beach club, where Ben, Nick and I had been the last time we cruised to Cozumel.  It's a relaxing beach with great food and drinks and plenty of shade.

We got to Nachi Cocum around 10:00 and settled in under a palapa and just spent the day eating, drinking and relaxing.

This is the life.







The boys found the hammocks.


Later so did Kate.


Lunch came and was delicious.



And so were the drinks!




We took some pictures on the beach.







There was also a swimming pool that felt very refreshing.



And beautiful palm trees.




We stayed until about 3:30 p.m. and then reluctantly headed back to the Vista.




One last picture of that beautiful Caribbean blue water.  Tomorrow we would be back in the Gulf of Mexico.


Back at the ship, everyone was tired so we said goodbye for the day and headed back to our cabins.  Ben took a nap and I sat out on the balcony.  I had a great view of the pier so I could watch for "pier runners"--the people that stay a little too late in port and have to run back to the ship.  I didn't see any though.



Ben and I had dinner in the dining room before going to bed.  Tomorrow we would have one more relaxing day at sea before going home.
