Cozumel

In a very short time I will be going on my first cruise. As part of the cruise I will be able to visit Cozumel, Mexico - another first since I have never been out of the country. To say I am excited is an understatement. I honestly do not know where to start. I've been looking at the excursions available and I'm torn. A day at an all-inclusive resort where we can relax or several hours by boat and car to the ruins of Tolum for a visit that will amount to approximately 2 hours. I would love to see the Mayan Pyramids but I do not want to be in a car and boat all day. It isn't as if we can't go back later but I honestly do not know which to choose.

And then there is the cruise itself. What excites me most is the view I will have of the night sky at sea. No light pollution. Just the moon and the stars and the reflections on the water. I've been reading reviews of our ship and it sounds like the right ship for a first cruise - not too big but big enough to have a lot to do. I'm worried about what I will wear though. During the day I will be fine but I do know I need at least one formal dress and I don't have anything.
