| Majahual - Costa Maya |
| Majahual before Hurricane Dean |
| After our fabulous, exhilarating boat ride, we returned to this all in one most natural eating place. Across from our table was the bar pictured above. Corona's were only $2.00/bottle - I had two. After we ate our guide knocked coconuts off the tree. |
We visited Majahual only days before it was destroyed by
Hurricane Dean. What a sad loss.
We had never heard of Majahual so it was not only an
exciting excursion but an accidental one for my youngest
daughter and I.
Since this cruise was in celebration of our 35th wedding
anniversary my husband took care of all the details,
inviting the kids, purchasing the excursions, and making it
one of the best vacations we ever had. However when
we arrived in Costa Maya we quickly learned that he had
scheduled everyone but my youngest daughter to go on
an excursion of speed boats and snorkeling. She was
scheduled to go on the extreme speed boats. As a
mother everyone knows that wasn't going to happen. I
have to really commend Carnival for their quick
intervention to work this problem out. There wasn't
enough room to switch her into our group but there was
one slot left for me to go with her!
Extreme speed boating doesn't even begin to describe
this excursion. I let her drive while I took pictures with my
new water proof camera. I should rephrase that, while I
attempted to take pictures when I wasn't holding on for
dear life!
I swear we must have left the water a hundred times at
least, the boat had to be 45 degrees on the side as many
times as leaving the water and the art of not hitting
another extreme boater while weaving in and out left me
hoarse from screaming. All the while my daughter was
having a grand time.
The rest of the clan and their friends were disappointed
that they did not go on our excursion.

| You can either camp on the beach or stay at the Majahual Hotel for only $35.00/night! I imagine with the re-building that this may change. |
| There were so many beautiful sights in just this one place that we couldn't stop taking pictures. At Firecrackinmama's we hate to see pictures get lost in computer files or albums; therefore I have turned our pictures into greeting cards, ornaments (like the picture above), prints, postcards (that seem to be people's favorites), magnets and stickers. There was so much interest in Mama's tropical pictures that we opened Firecrackinmama's Tropics. Then I found a really cool site where I could make coasters and cutting boards with my photos. Naturally I tend to lean towards the tropics but I do love designing holiday gifts, wedding gifts and just everyday gifts. If you're interested in coasters and cutting boards come have a look at Firecrackinmama's PrintFection. Within the next few weeks Firecrackinmama's will be focusing on her Firecrackinmama's Card Shop opening an entire section of greeting cards with tropical images. So stop on by! |
