We just got home from Adam's reward trip to the Virgin Islands on the Disney Magic. I know. Kind of weird to take a bunch of adults on a Disney Cruise without their children, but oh well. We still had so much fun. See...isn't this fun? The towel monkey left in our stateroom. A new fun towel animal every night!
We visited St. Maartan, St. Thomas, and the Disney Island. So, now for a little known fact: I get seasick! This was my first (and maybe last) time on a cruise. And, oh I was sick! Also, it seemed that we had rough seas as well, far rougher than any they had had in months. So, lucky us. Every time we made port, I was thrilled. I did not want to get back on that gigantic floating, nauseous mobile. But. I had too.
We went snorkeling on St. Maartan, and saw, well, nothing. Okay. Maybe a few little fish, but they had just had a storm and the water was cloudy. So, the captain of the Mirabel took us to a beach to play in the sand for a while. Also, the beach was full of topless women! Interesting, right? And on our way back to the cruise ship a boat full of nudist buzzed our boat. Luckily all is saw was what looked like a lot of skin...and a couple of butts. Some of our friends saw way more than that. So on the down side, we didn't see local sea life, but on the upside (???) we got a glimpse of unusual local behavior!
I loved St. Thomas and would go back their in a heart beat. We rented scooters and explored every nook and crany of the island (all while driving on the wrong side of the road! Ugh.) I cannot believe we didn't get in an accident. The water was amazing: warm, clear, and beautiful. My favorite by far.
The food was constant and amazing! And guess what? Adam and I both gained 6 (count them!) pounds! Ugh. No one can accuse us of not taking advantage of the food.
They had some pretty funny shows at night. Adam was apart of the magic show. But almost hurt his knee AGAIN with the weird kind of stance he had to take.
