Caribbean Vacay Day 6

Day 6: St. Maarten.  Favorite island.  Would love to go back.  Awesome shopping.  Spent a fair amount of moolah.  Yummy lunch at the Blue "Beach" Bar.  Slow service.  "Caribbean time."  Parasailing with SXM1 Watersports.  800 feet in the air.  Amazing!  Saw a dolphin.  Free fall.  Water dip.  Swear word rap song.  Plugged my ears.  So offensive!  Swam in the water for about 20 minutes.   Back to the port.  Heard about Orient Beach and all the nudies from the ladies in line.  Crazy.  But pretty dang funny.  No thank you for me.  Dinner in the dining room.  Lobster tonight.  Finally.  Happy birthday song and cake for the oldies but goodies.  More shuffleboard.  Bedtime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caribbean Vacay Day 5

Day 5: Antigua.  Mostly flat.  In a drought.   Hasn't rained since December.  Amazing beaches.  Terrible maps and road signs.  Friendly locals.  Cameron spoke their language.  Probably why they were so friendly!  Rented dune buggies from Pineapple Express.  Found our way to Long Bay.  Best beach of this trip.  Best beach of my life (so far... ).  Devil's Bridge.  Pretty cool.  Bought necklaces and yummy drinks from women there.  Lost the lock.  Found it when we got home!  Half Moon Bay.  Pretty.  Not as pretty as Long Bay.  Good snorkeling.  Not enough time.  Missed several things we wanted to see.  Drove back to port.  Crazy traffic.  Made it alive and on time.  Shopping.  Boarded ship.  Dinner in the dining room.  No lobster tonight.  Lobster tomorrow!  We will be there.  Hung out in the library and looked at future cruise options.  Bedtime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caraibbean Vacay Day 4

Day 4: St. Lucia. Mountains. Rain Forest.  Lush and beautiful.  Long bus ride up winding mountain road.  Cameron got the short seat.  Lots of poverty.  Happy people.  Treetop Adventures Zipline in Dennery.  12 lines.  SO much fun!  Amazing staff.  Especially loved Winnie, Daniel and Kenny G.  Pouring Rain.  Didn't matter.  Michele's super funny sad face.  Dancing bus driver.  Taxi ride to Pigeon Island.  Almost crashed.  Didn't.  Phew!  Mark decided to buckle, actually tie himself, up.  Paid to use the restroom.  Snorkeling and swimming.  Good, but not great.  Back to port.  Grumpy taxi driver.  Quick shopping.  Boarded ship.  One minute to spare.  Went to see Red.  Not playing.  False advertising.  Went to Ice Show instead.  Decent.  Really liked the guy spinning around in the wheel on the ice.  Dinner at Johnny Rockets.  Hit the spot.  Worth the cover charge.  Shuffleboard.  Bedtime.
