I'm a little worried about getting down there with the snow and everything, but I guess as long as we're there in time it doesn't really matter how we get there...Even if I do get stuck in the middle seat of a pick up truck for the the one thousand, seven hundred and some miles. I'm making myself feel better by going over the itinerary, looking up the different ports and what we'll do there ...alright readers, time to make you jealous :P ..and aware of where I am incase of some kind of incident...
2/13/10-
We'll be boarding the Crown Princess in Port Everglades between 1:00pm-4:00pm and meeting with the wedding coordinator to go over the details again.
I'm thinking that night there's going to be some kind of on deck party..

2/15/10- Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands 
Dustin and I reserved an excursion that goes to a Turtle Farm, Hell (which is a part of the island with lime stone formations) and then Sting Ray City which is what I'm really excited about. Dustin really doesn't like going in the ocean so he's going to take pictures from the boat while I stand in three feet of water off of a sand bar and feed/swim with wild sting rays!
Then we'll see some things on our own. A tourist site posted "...don't leave without ordering a mudslide at beachside Rum Point."
2/16/10- Roatan, Honduras
It's supposed to be a really pretty island, but due to past government warnings, we're not sure if we're even getting off the boat.
2/17/10-Cozumel, Mexico
I went to this island two summers ago and mostly saw museums and things on the west side of the island. We don't have any excursions planned with a professional group, but we're planning on renting a motorized scooter...like a moped..and exploring on our own. I really want to visit Faro Celarain Eco Park. According to a tourist site,http://www.cozumelparks.com, the "Ecological park and nature reserve is a breathtaking environment of mangrove jungles, white sand beaches and reef formations at the south end of the island. The park extends over more than 247 acres of land harboring a varied wildlife, including crocodiles, which visitors can watch from a safe distance in a look-out tower, 220 species of birds, iguanas, and giant turtles, which come to shore between June and August to lay their eggs. Among the park's most interesting structures is an old lighthouse and navigation museum displaying the evolution of seamanship and navigation from the time of the Maya to modern times. Here, visitors can also learn about life in Cozumel during the first part of the 20th century through photos and other articles belonging to several generations of lighthouse keepers and their families. Near the lighthouse, El Caracol is a well-preserved ancient structure, used by the Mayas to signal the approach of a hurricane." Yay!
2/18/10- At SeaI ordered a four course, champagne breakfast for Dustin and I on our balcony!
This will probably be the second Formal night and I'm hoping that we get an invitation, either this night or another night, to dine with the captain.
2/19/10- Princess Cays, Bahamas
This is the island owned by Princess Cruise lines so there's really not much on the island. Beach Day! I reserved what's called a clam shell...basically just one of those big wooden things to sit lounge chairs under...the last thing I need is to fight with some crazy old lady for some shade.
2/20/10-
Flying home!
