Cody & Nicole Wedding Cruise

 - Went on a Cruise to celebrate Cody and Nicole!

- the 4 day Cruise went from Tampa to Cozumel and then back to Tampa

- It was my first cruise, Maura's second

- Had a boat load of fun with everyone from the wedding

- Got to hang with Sam and Nic too!

- Spent most of the time on the boat, drinking Pina colada, soaking in the sun, reading Harry Potter, or playing games with others

- In Cozumel we spent part of the day at a beach resort

- I got one of those summer hoodies I always wanted (you proud Brian?)

- Dinners were pretty cool, the dinning room is fancy and you pick starter, main, and dessert from a set menu. Best part, no bill!

- Apparently the boat was small relative to other cruise ships

- I won 300 on a slot machine, then left and got cigars

- Maura found a duck and hid a duck she found on her previous cruise

- Nic, being a previous Coast Guard member, knew all the boats tricks

Puerto Rico part 79 (it feels like)

 - We're back with another half ironman in San Juan with Tay and Tar

- Tar has got the swim and run, and I gotta lug a bike to the island

- We did pretty well, Tar crushed the run and I didn't do too bad on the cycle, just over 3 hours

- For this trip, each couple had to plan an activity

- Maura and I found a glass blowing experience and we made pendants

- Tar and Tay had a really cool idea, sunset boat ride.... but unfortunately the bozos organizing this thing left without us, even though we showed up on time, I even got a picture of us at the meeting point. But we got our money back and went out to eat! We picked a place with great views, good food, and slow service... which was fine with great company!

- Of course had ourselves some beach days, even revisited burrito social for old time sakes

- I got to put the small electric bike pump Maura got me!

- Accidentally brought CO2 cartridges on the plane ride over... oops, but no one noticed.

- Bike ride was cool, nice to see different plants/greenery. Saw some iguanas. One of my bottles fell out at the beginning, oops I was looking at a rainbow and went over rumble strip. Wind on the way back is killer

- Also had a resort pass day. Enjoyed some Pina coladas at the swim up bar
