Honeymoon Wisdom

We’re on our Honeymoon! On a Regent Seven Seas cruise vessel to be exact. I’m starring out our window at the sea - it stretches for as far as I can see. :)I’m relaxing and enjoying married life. More to come later - Chris and I are taking movies and pictures for memories. I’m sure we will be sharing our adventures soon.Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and The Bahamas. The Mayan ruins are why we chose this trip. I’m so excited to go exploring I can’t focus on anything else! Wish us luck tomorrow as we go out in our hiking boots for the first time.

The Four Agreements a book that includes Toltec wisdom has peaked my curiosity to see the birth place of its people. The language and thought patterns taught by the Toltec way seem so civilized and it’s language of community seem so selfless. Also the architecture has always caught my attention. I’ve heard stories of human sacrifice and savage games played in these places long,long ago. I’m eager to learn more truths rather than hearsay and opinions. There’s something really special about the privledge of learning about a place in person rather than through a book. I feel very fortunate to be able to go to these wonderful places. Hopefully I will gain better insight to the Mayan people of long ago, their way of living and how it has shaped or lost it’s roots in the world we live in day to day.

Books have always touched my life and brought me to new places and new adventures. Each time I visit a new place I’ve only read about I get cold chills and adrenaline rushes before - the anticipation is intoxicating!

Chris hiking? That should be a great video. Did you guys break in your hiking boots before-hand? You may get some nasty blisters if you don’t. (speaking from experience.) Can’t wait to see the pictures.

Have fun…and enjoy warmth and sunshine.

[...] I can’t believe it - Ponzi posted something to her blog a few minutes ago! She’s been having a good time on our moneymoon cruise, too - and she’s even considering taking the Excel class on board (since I’ll be accompanying her to a Mexican cooking class later this week).

Just to copy what Jules said, I really really hope you guys broke in your boots in advance.

I don’t care how hot you think it’s going to be. Wear thick socks!

Have a great honeymoon!

I’m sooo jealous =) I just got engaged and we plan to take a similar cruise for our honeymoon as well. I can’t wait to see your photos =) Enjoy!

For God’s sake Ponzi!

Quit typing and “staring out the window looking at the sea” and start taking care of my man Chris, if you know what I mean He needs some tension relief. (wink, wink, nod, nod)

If I was on that moneymoon, the only hiking goin on would be hinking in and out of bed.

You misused peaked. I think you meant to use piqued.

Pleased and impressed by your genuine interest in learning about Mayan or any other South-of-the-border cultures but, really, isn´t doing it through a cruise a little bit too American?
