These photos were taken using Austin’s Fuji FinePix XP50 (I’ve got one too, they’re awesome for underwater shots/general adventures where you wouldn’t want to take a nicer camera) during our snorkeling excursion in Nassau while cruising with the Disney Dream.

Well single reader, in a few short days I will pack my bags yet again and head westward. Between time spent at home in Florida, a month in the Dominican Republic, and ten weeks in Mexico, this winter turned out to be pretty amazing.
As per tradition, the end of the off-season calls for my annual slide show. Feel free to enjoy by clicking the box below.

What this is all leading up to is this: if what follows offends you – sorry, but I’m not sorry.**
