June 17 - June 26, 2005  Rita and I drove down to Cocoa Beach, FL with Sierra and her friend Courtney for a four day cruise on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.  Our first stop was the island of Nassau in the Bahamas.  After a short visit in Nassau, it was off to Coco Cay, a private island owned by the cruise lines.

Many photos from our Bahamas adventures.  We split them into two web pages to help users with dialup access.
