Las Vegas 2011

Not our hotel...

Not our view...

Apparently not our friend...

My goal for next time...

Party Boat

Friday was our private party boat...sailing, snorkeling, visiting a private beach and all the food and drink we could handle...what a perfect day...

Dave showing off again...

The water was amazingly clear and warm...

Then I decided to take some pictures underwater since my camera is WATERPROOF to 15 feet...apparently NOT!!!  This is the last picture it took...

Cave-tubing

Thursday was our cave-tubing adventure in Belize.  At first we were kept together while going through the caves...

Later we were allowed to float individually down the river...

There was even some time for rock diving...that's Dave showing off...

Monkey Farm

This morning we visited a monkey farm while on a tour on Roatan, Honduras.
Ann and Dave....lovin' it...

Ray....showing the monkey how to work a camera...

Mike....showing his maternal side...

Stephanie....trying to crawl out of her skin...

Walking back to the ship...

One group shot with Ann and Dave...

Speedboats

Went on a speed boat excursion today in Costa Maya...
Sybil and Christian wanted to race us...

Not a problem, we were ready for them....

That's them behind us...

NCL Spirit

Made it onto the ship...fancy atrium...

Got some lunch...

Didn't really want another drink after New Orleans, but had one anyway...

Airboat

Today was our airboat ride through the swamps...

lots of alligators...

lots of  moss-covered trees...

lots of fun...

Beignets

Went to Cafe Du Monde for some morning coffee and beignets...

The banks of the Mighty Mississippi...

Finally, a group shot...

New Orleans

We made it to New Orleans and started the evening in the hotel bar with a Hurricane.

Even better than a Hurricane is a drink called a Grenade...

Dancing in the street...have another drink Ray!

Most of the time here in Arenal, the volcano looked like this...

Today the clouds parted, and we were treated to this view...

Even the smoke plume was visible...

Zip Line

2500 feet long, 60 stories high, 50 MPH....Poor Ray...

Arenal Volcano

Most of the time here in Arenal, the volcano looked like this...

Today the clouds parted, and we were treated to this view...

Even the smoke plume was visible...

Rafting

Our first class 3 white-water rafting experience...
Everyone seems to be having fun...well almost everyone...

Ray almost has a smile on his face...

Oh, smile gone...but Ann seems to be having fun now...

UH OH...

Fun time over...

Well at least she's still on the raft...

And conscious...I think...

The Springs

Arrived at The Springs in Arenal late yesterday afternoon.  This place makes the last hotel look like a Holiday Inn Express...
