One of the benefits of traveling to a destination wedding via cruise ship is that I was “forced” to be on vacation for a few days!  To make it SO much more awesome, one of my best friends since childhood came along!  Marietta had visited Bermuda after her graduation from THE Ohio State University, um, a lot of years ago – so it was extra sweet to visit together again!

Bermuda, the first time…  we definitely missed our friend Kara this time around!
And also, we look like babies.  Skinny, drunk, babies…

Leaving Boston!

Fun times on the ship!

The view from our ship when we arrived in port… not a bad site to see when you wake up in the morning!

This is how WE enjoyed the Welcome Dinner…

Our day at CoCo Reef after the wedding…

My beautiful friend!

Making the most out of having an underwater camera on this trip – time for snorkeling!!

The next day we got to go on a Blue Water Divers’ snorkeling adventure through with the bride and a bunch of the guests!
SO FUN!

Exploring wreckage of ships beneath the sea

 

And then it was time for a relaxing voyage home!  Bye bye Bermuda!

My favorite color!  I could stare at the ocean for hours!

On our last night, Lori & Damian invited us to dinner with the rest of the party – so of course, I took a group photo!

 

I’ve known this lady for over 30 years!!!!  It was such a treat getting to enjoy all of this with such a dear friend!
