Pre Cruise
My girlfriend and I are going to take a Valentine's Day cruise to Mexico. I have never been to Mexico, but in order for me to get my BA, I had to take a Spanish class, so now seems like a good time to see if I will be able to remember anything I learned or not.
Typical Tampa thunderstorms are causing problems right now and making us desire more and more to take a vacation. We both know what to expect from taking a cruise, but this time I plan to get off the boat a little more and explorer my horizons. If I learned anything from my last cruise, DO ALL THAT YOU CAN! Being on the boat is nice, but a true vacation for me is not relaxing and doing nothing (I could do that for free at home). The real vacation that I want is to be able to do something that I wouldn't be able to do at home.
Our first stop is going to be in Key West, Florida. I have been almost EVERYWHERE in my home state of Florida, but I have not been to Key West. I am excited about this trip. I have now been on a cruise before and I don't have to worry about timing issues or simple boat things, so instead, I am going to worry about treating myself right and live it up while I am no longer at home.
Waiting on a 4gb memory card for my camera, so we are both preparing for a great trip. We will have lots of pictures and even more memories.

Thing to Do
Thing to Do
A scooter is fun, but there is much more you can see and do in a Jeep that you can't do on a scooter. It is worth the 60 some odd dollars for a days worth of driving around.
Also, see as much as you can. Try to get to the ruins. We ran out of time, but I really wanted to go see them.
Have a fun trip!
As I have not stayed in any Tampa/Clearwater hotels, it is hard for me to make a recommendation, but I do hope you enjoy your stay here.
also question about the cruise itself, was there enough to do on the boat?
