Day 5: Today's port of call was Cozumel, Mexico.
I have to admit it looked like bluest, clearest water we had seen so far. (Eric is actually on the boat pictured below, returning from his snorkeling trip.)
Unfortunately, by this day of our trip my motion-sickness troubles (sickness and/or side-effect related) had become severe enough that I chickened out of our planned snorkeling trip. Fortunately for Eric, he went on the snorkeling tour without me, and got some fantastic photos of the reefs: 
Eric returned from the trip as happy as ever and ready to plan our honeymoon somewhere with equally beautiful water, reefs, and wildlife. (We're thinking about Belize, but are open to suggestions... personally, I'm hoping for somewhere with excellent snorkeling that doesn't require a boat trip!)
Meanwhile, I kept an eye on the ship...
And of course, we have another towel animal to share:

Cancun has great snorkeling. Walk along the beach at the south end past Club Med, over the reef that jutts out, and you'll be on the south tip of the penninsula. That's where all the snorkeling trips take the tourists, and it's got some amazing reef life. It's the 2nd largest reef in the world, after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
You can get to the Westin (just North of Club Med) for 60 pesos on the bus, and walk about 1/4 mile to the reef from there.
Best of all, you can get a direct flight from Kansas City (funjet) or connect in Houston (Continental).
