I was lucky enough to bring my close friend, Julianna, with me on my cruise. In between our scuba diving sessions and long walks through the tourist shops, we managed to grab a few shots here and there. You can see Julianna's story HERE.

Over the past year, I had been wanting so bad to get out of the country. I've never traveled outside the U.S... Finally in April, I got a chance to go on a cruise with my family. We were only at the destinations for about 8 hours, so I didn't get a ton of time to take photos. A chunk of photos were taken riding in a taxi van. But I had enough time to soak in some culture. We went to Roatan, Honduras - Costa Maya, Mexico - and Cozumel, Mexico. Roatan was definitely my favorite destination. Take a look at some of my favorite shots below.

Everybody has taken photos looking outside a plane at some time or another. And they are always very original. Okay, so maybe there's a hint of sarcasm there. Original or not, cliche or not, I'm always amazed by the views outside the airplane window. So here's my take.
