Cruisin' with my "Bestie"

Thanks to an AMAZING HUBBY, I was able to finally do a cruise with my BFF of over 25 years! We had been trying to do this again since college and it has never worked out due to scheduling...UNTIL NOW! Carpe Diem I guess is our motto. So, just Lizzy and I ventured on a 5 day/4 night cruise to Cozumel, Mexico. We had ssoooooo much fun catching up, laying out, getting bad tan lines, sipping fruity drinks, dancing, gambling, watching karaoke, dressing up for nice dinners each night with Caroline and Susie (our dinner friends), pampering ourselves at the Spa, taking funny pics everywhere we went, and of course EATING. The highlight of our trip was the port day in Cozumel. We got off the ship, shopped a little, and then met up with our guide who took us to a powerboat adventure! Once we survived the interesting cab ride "off the beaten path", we arrived at a beautiful place. It had a private pool with swim up bar, crocodiles (which they fed raw chicken for us), a salsa bar so we could make our own salsa, and beach access where we got to drive our own speedboats in the ocean! I am not sure what to say about the boats....but they were AWESOME! We cruised super fast taking turns driving and attempting lots of sharp turns. At one point we even had to switch boats with the tour guide cause our boat started to slow down a bit. Pretty sure that boat will never be the same! Lizzy also decided to create a tidal wave and then drive through it...so when finally arrived back at the main beach, we were the only wet people. I guess we were they only crazy ones, but we were laughing pretty hard. Neither of us will ever forget our amazing adventures among the Carnival Triumph and Cozumel, Mexico! Cheers to the World's Best Friend, good times, and our lives as they continue to grow each year!
