On June 8th, 2002, Robin and I set sail for a 7-day Western Carribean cruise. Cruising on Royal Carribean's "Explorer of the Seas", we enjoyed 2 days at seas and 4 ports of call. Here is a map of the route we took.

MAN OVERBOARD!

While in port, this was a typical view from our balcony. This was taken in Labadee.

Here is a shot of Robin and me with Jason and Heather Sandos. Jason and Heather, from Salt Lake City, were also just married. They were really great - we all had a lot of fun at dinner. They both are into cool music, and used the cruise as an opportunity to go SCUBA diving. Also, Jason is into lions. He got a VERY cool lion's head-walking stick in Ochos Rios.

Robin and me with the other people we ate dinner with - Hope (front left), Debbie (2nd from left), Faith (front right) and Don (standing). Also extermely nice and fun people. Faith and Hope spent most of the cruise sunning, drinking, and dancing in the ship's nightclub. Don, like myself, did not have too much luck in the casino, but he did discover a BBC. As coinicidence would have it, Faith just graduated college from NIU - my alma mater. If you are ever on the South side of Chicago and need a Dodge, be sure to look up Don!

I got into a little trouble in Cozumel....
