Cruise: Cozumel Day 4

Tuesday, June 22nd, we arrived in Cozumel. We met downstairs at 8:30 to get breakfast before meeting up with everyone. This was going to be a great excursion. We were going with a big group of people we knew and it was an ALL day beach thing. We went through the marketplace of Cozumel (which was a lot nicer than Progresso) and headed to our bus. About 10 minutes later we ended up at the Playa Mia Beach Resort. Everything was included...drinks, food, beach chairs and umbrellas. Out about 100 yards in the water was a trampoline and "iceberg" that you could climb up and jump off. Mitch jumped off twice but after I swam all that way out there, there was no way I had energy to climb up the iceberg if I was going to make it back to shore.

About an hour into the excursion, me, my parents, and sisters decided to para sail. Now let me tell that I am terrified of heights and HATE loosing my stomach but I am talked into it. My mom really wanted to para sail so I knew if I back out there was no other person to go with her. Corky and Courtney went up with no problem. Then it was our turn. I thought I was going to have a panic attack...but I DID IT!!!! It was really fun until a storm started to move in and we started blowing around in the wind! I started to get really motion sick along with my mom. But I never got sick...up in the air that is. For about an hour or so after that, I felt so sick. We came back to the beach, hung around and then ate some lunch.

Around 3 o'clock we headed back to the port to get on the ship. We had about 2 hours to walk around before having to get back on the ship. We went into some jewelry shops, where I tried on a $67k 5.6 karat ring. Unfortunately we did not buy it!! :( We got Lawson some souvenirs and headed back to the boat.

When we got back we headed back up to the Lido deck, after skyping with Lawson, and had some drinks. We got dressed at headed to dinner and then went to the karaoke bar to watch people make fools of themselves! Mitch headed to the casino that night and I headed to bed.
