After a honeymoon, coming back to work sure stinks...

I can't believe Matt and I have been married a month and a half. It has been so much fun, and we're enjoying every minute of it. More on married life to come, but I thought I would post a little bit about our amazing honeymoon. I imagine this will probably need to be spread out over a few posts, just because one can't hold so much awesomeness.

After our incredible wedding, Matt and I took the first flight out (on good ol' Southwest Airlines, of course). We arrived... no, stumbled into Fort Lauderdale all bleary-eyed around noon, and caught a cab to our amazing ship. This was Matt's first cruise and my third, and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.

That first night we had a wonderful time exploring the ship, going to our safety briefing, and eating (of course!)


You can just call us Mr. and Mrs. Buoyant


It was the ultimate relaxation!


Look at us all married!



That evening, we had our first formal dining room experience on the ship. We had this hilarious Romanian waitress that was rather... gruff to say the least. She would say things like "You no order what I recommend? You no like is not my problem." We had so much fun with her throughout our week-long cruise!



After dinner, our waitstaff surrounded our table and sang "Happy Honeymoon" to the tune of Happy Birthday in an Asian accent. It was amazing. Matt and I sing it to one another at least once a day now. :)

After dinner, we wandered around the ship and accidentally kept winding up in the crew-only areas. It was very confusing -- definitely not as simple as the Love Boat (which, by the way, was on a non-stop loop on our stateroom TV because we took a Princess Cruise).



Whew... And that's just day one of the cruise! More to follow. Enjoy!
