Costa Maya was our first stop....remember....nothingness....yeah.....true story.
Here is Ellie putting on her daily products (SunScreen, bug spray, etc...)
We got off the ship and passed through security and were welcomed by three men dressed in army fatigues with machine guns (no lie) and a large dog (that was very well...endowed -- scarily so). We walked from the ship (afraid to misstep lest we get shot) to the shopping area where you go to meet your excursion group. We were doing the Beach Excursion -- which was just that...going to the beach. We boarded a bus and drove and drove and drove and after a few near death experiences we made it to the beach!
Ellie did not care for the hot sand
But she did like sitting and talking to dada....
A fellow excursion-er volunteered to take our pic.....
Enjoying a very tasty quesadilla
Along with some dancing...
Before we knew it we had to head back to the ship....we were able to squeeze in a little shopping before we boarded and were careful not to buy anything that would attract Cujo.
