We are ready to go ashore

Walked almost all day



Our latest room pet greeting us as we returned to our room


The first 1/2 of day the winds, wave, and rain caused all outside decks to be closed, but in the afternoon things calmed down and we enjoyed the sunshine and pools. We went to two evening shows, one before our last meal in the dining room and one after.  This whole cruise experience has been wonderful.  We are back in Texas now and will be home around 11pm.

Day 5 - George Town, Grand Cayman Island

Well, luck was on our side as it has been too windy for cruise ships to come in here for six weeks.  Here on the west side of the island there is little wind and calm seas. 


However, on the east side it is still blowing, so our excursion to swim with the sting rays and snorkel on the barrier reef has been cancelled.  Although disappointed, we went ashore on the tenders and regrouped.



One good thing was we were all together.  Originally, we had booked different excursions, but they were all cancelled.  We had coffee ashore and decided to go to Seven Mile Beach..  The kids walked down the beach to look around the fancy hotels. We stayed on the public beach....Teri enjoying the shade on a beach chair, Jeff getting a message, and Milinda and I snorkeling.

Not much in the way of coral, but lots of fish.




When the beach got crowded and it got hotter, we headed back to the boat.



We spent the rest of the day in the pool...me drinking Margaritas!
And then we dressed for the aerial performance and dinner. 





Another good day,











Day 4, Kingston Jamaica

Milinda and I went on a catamaran trip to snorkel
















A great day in the water and on the boat!!!!  (Even a foot message :-) )
And then back to the ship



And away














Day two and three at sea!!!!!!!!

Two days......eating wonderful food, including our first formal night, sitting by the pools or relaxing in the whirlpools, reading, watching the water and sky, seeing productions in the theaters or dancing during country night, walking, and exploring.  It is all good!!!!!!  So great to be with my girls and their guys!!!
