Gobble, Gobble Cruise

Setting sail on the Liberty of the Seas out of Galveston we were looking forward to spending Thanksgiving on the Caribbean.  Dinner the first night at Chops was delicious and a great  start to our week.  Our first port was a new one for us at Costa Maya, Mexico....we grabbed a trolley and went to Mahahual beach after watching the Dance of the Flyers....Danza de los Voladores!

Thanksgiving Day we docked in Coxen Hole on the island of Roatan, Honduras and grabbed a shuttle to Little French Key.  The weather was overcast and it did shower off and on, but the highlight of the day was a chance to swim with a 60 pound jaguar in the Caribbean.  A big wet kitty kat!  Our final port was Cozumel were we booked a food tour....visiting several local restaurants tasting different authentic Mexican dishes.  A stop at the mercado and some yummy bake goods ended the day.
 
We enjoyed a great week, with calm seas and some interesting folks...although the  ship did  have a bunch of kids.  We docked back in Galveston and were soon on our way home!
 

Love Thyself!

You might be wondering about the photo I just posted......I volunteered to be part of a project called Love Thyself! Dayna Wiles, a local photographer is the mastermind behind this endeavor! The ground rules were simple.....no makeup, no jewelry, and wear something white for the black and white photo session! Dayna also sent me a list of questions to answer. The photo session was fun and pretty painless! The ultimate goal of the project is to empower women to love themselves and to let your raw beauty shine through! Mission accomplished!

Wife, Mom, Daughter, Gigi, Dive Buddy, Friend!

My goal is to live life to the fullest! Have no regrets, and always remember that my next challenge is just around the corner. Cherishing my gypsy soul, my love of travel, and appreciating all the friends I have made along the way!
At 15, I would tell myself to dream big, and shoot for the moon. Stand tall and hold your head high! Always have confidence, and forgive yourself for your failures. And........always walk to the beat of your own drum!
I especially hope to encourage women of all ages to challenge themselves. It's so easy to settle in a rut, and coast along the path of least resistance! No matter the challenge, big or small, difficult or easy, you will benefit! No matter if you succeed or fail, you will be the big winner in the long run!
My sense of adventure is what I love most about myself, although sometimes it does get me in trouble! I think the title of my blog describes me best...................
"Adventure Before Dementia"!
