update

Not much else is going on. pretty booring buisness trip (we saw a girl with a front butt as big as her back butt) and razzing each other about being gay.. and at the end we were all put in a plane where we had to sit right next to each other in the back of the plane. I did see a hot springs. I threw a big reception party at my house where all the family showed up. The wife was stressed about that about 100 people showed up so it was a crowded party. The weather is nice this week but will turn cold I wish it would just stay that way. I am ready for nice weather. I think i might just go away this weekend somewhere do a small day trip. Its my dad's 60'th birthday. I want to do something cool with him. trying to figure it out. I think i will blog about him next.

airport story

So no pics but when i was coming home i landed got our luggage and got in the free airport shuttle (because the garage is under construction and no place to park. I am a veteran traveler so i kept the slip that the shuttle driver gave me a slip of paper telling me where i park right? well i land and give the slip of paper to the new driver and we go to find my car. its not there. we get out to maybe find it by foot and i cant find it. second bus comes by and we look then security is called and we are taken to where the office of the checkpoint people. I had to use the restroom and the bathroom was locked. but then a flush and a fat woman walks out - 400 easy. I walk in and the smell about knocks me over but i go anyways, holding my breath. well someone knocks and I hurry up and flush wash the hands and out i go. The woman goes in and curses me and At THAT MOMENT the security guy shows up. I ask Julia to explain it wasn't me that destroyed this place. SO I have to go to find my car, which the driver gave me a slip that isn't even close to where i parked. totally on the other side of lot. anyways i find it and i pick julia up, Where she tells me that the old woman tells the fatso that was responsible that her "feat" was not unnoticed and that she should be more concientious. I then ask if julia explained it wasn't me to the woman that came in after me and she said that she was laughing and couldn't tell her in time. So I purposely find that woman to pay my parking money to and first thing i said was " It wasn't me that destroyed that bathroom it was the coworker in the booth behind you" and we talked about how haneous that was and how lysol helped and how my nosehairs are burned off. and off i went. It was the principle of the thing i don't want anyone thinking I destroy bathrooms like that and just leave it like that.

Honeymoon pt 3 (last one)

So we flew back from san juan and then flew to guadilajara where it is one huge crazy polluted city. we stayed in a pretty nice hotel (although twin beds) and then we had a very good breakfast although i ate rotten corn mold on a gordita but hey it wasn't that bad. we then finally left and went to manzanillo (about a 4 hour drive in the dark on mexican turnpikes which was very weird.)which i was informed was where the movie "10" was filmed and made. I didn't believe it till i got there and that was the only thing in english was a loop of that movie. and i watched it in pieces most of the next day because that day was "picture day" where i stood in the heat while julia was photographed by a guy named jehovah that smoked so much that when he touched you to position you for the shot you got a nicotine high. All of his pictures were the kind where you were staring off into space and found that thing very amusing.

the beach

outside our room

and a cool thing on the wall
Photobucket

however first night i went to the pool and got bit by a whole bunch of sand fleas, they are aweful!! they called them jejenes i called them the devil
then there were cuchalupas(sp?) but they are mole crabs. I honestly thing they are more related to shrimp
Photobucket
anyways those were weird things.
took a whole bunch of pics (300) then we had dinner on the beach and music xylophone music it was strange. The next day i snorkled again (saw a skate and a pufferfish) and some other cool stuff i didn't see on the atlantic side. Ate dinner in a taquria and went home the next day. Flew all sunday and went to work on monday.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

aruba was our last stop I only took like 3 pics because well 1 wife kinda went weird because there were some college girls topless there.. and no i didn't stare. and two we only went to the beach. It was called baby beach in the southern side it was only about 4 feet deep forever and then bounded by coral i snorkled there and it was the biggest rip off because with taxi and equipment was 90 bucks.

then we sailed and arrived back at san juan

and then me snorkeling
Photobucket

everytime i did something would happen were i would about drown this was no different.
I inhaled when my snorkel filled up. I was looking at sea urchins and knew that i had to stand up on them because a fin fell off too. meanwhile (see the crashing waves?) that caused a huge current thing which makes it difficult to stand so a french guy came out because i was well fighting for my life. and after being situated i swam ashore only to realize that i had my cell phone in my pocket the entire time so no movies to watch on the plane ride home and to top it off i also with the help of my wife lost my ipod too. so sucky end to a wonderful trip. we got home at 6 the next day and had to leave for mexico the next day at 2 so much laundry and very tired.

honeymoon Pt 1.

I don't know if it will be a two parter but hey maybe.after wedding:
Photobucket

we went to san juan and got on the boat Tortola first stop The ship was ok except too far back so engine stopping was like a 5.o earthquake every morning and yes i could feel the boat rock all the time. the first stop was nice in fact probably the best stop because not very touristy and very nice sand and beach

Photobucket

Photobucket

At lunch/ breakfast met a guy named shadow and a guy that was in his yacht. just bummed at the beach.
The second stop st. lucia, Very cool saw some forest and a drive in volcano the only one of its kind. very fun, got ripped off by some locals very poor areas might go back I might put some pics of that but it didn't get loaded to my photobucket snow i know you want to see the volcano. Third island was St marteen.

Photobucket
The beach was not fun either lots of shells and coarse sand. however while we were there we wanted a pic of us in the water,
and the old ladies by us left so the only person that was there was this person

Photobucket

This person then came out into the water instead of taking the pic and putting the camera down on our cots. There were people that once they saw the topless girl left. I then took a pic of this couple and yes he is wearing a speedo and his gut was huge.

Photobucket

compared to that i think we look good
Photobucket

the next stop was barbados where we went on a shipwreck snorkel trip with the ship and these are the people they hired

Photobucket

Then we were to hang out at the beach and drink drinks at this place

Photobucket

The beach was nice and the island seemed ok. We didn't see much of it but they make lots of rum so industry is a good thing it reduces the poor beggars
However the snorkel thing was scary the first time kinda hyperventilated and felt like i couldn't get my breath. Julia was freaked out and just stopped. I got back in and it was cool 17oo's era shipwreck awesome.

Photobucket

The next stop was grenada which would never go back however nice spices
This was the town, there was a dead bum there
Photobucket

Photobucket
right here actually.

Photobucket

then a tunnel we went through
Photobucket.

Photobucket

Photobucket

This is a working chocolate factory for Hersey's.
Photobucket

They also had a tour where a woman showed us the local produce spices and things

Photobucket

Photobucket

above is the chocolate plant

It was very strange I tried the raw cocoa seed it tasted like a lemon plum. We then toured a nutmeg factory and although boring they did have this there:

Photobucket

If i could bring unlimited liquids and liqour i would have brought this in.

This is nutmeg

Photobucket

it is farmed there the red is mace. they take the mace off dry the mace and send it then they process the nutmeg. mainly by drying then putting in water to see how much oil is in it then they crack and dry the nutmeg and send it off.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

there were waterfalls and romancing the stone was filmed here.

Photobucket

We then had a one day on the water before we went to caraco and aruba. We had a pretty good time and there are lots of photos for those areas.
