Dag 13
Labadee, Haiti
18 mars 2022, Haiti ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
What a glorious day! Labadee is a peninsula leased by Royal Caribbean. It has beaches, water park, jet skis, snorkel trips, etc.

We went to Columbus Cove with Darla and Rick-, and did the beach. A nice helper got chairs for us, and after hanging out for awhile, we hit the water. I'm still buoyant- had a lovely time floating and bobbing in the water. I eventually felt chilly, so got out, warmed up, and enjoyed the pretty some more before heading back to the ship.

Dinner was Coconut shrimp, lamb shank, and profiteroles. W had French onion soup, prime rib, and profiteroles.

The only down to the day, both VT basketball teams got beat in the big dance.

But then we came back from dinner to this cute creature hanging from our ceiling!Läs mer

Happy St. Patrick's Day! A beautiful Day- warm, some breeze, and sunny.

After a leisurely breakfast in Central Park, we went up to the Fort- a short walk, and we got in our requisite culture for the day. Note to all- if you have a National Parks Pass, bring it along. W got his requisite ballcap.

Then back to the ship for more requisite chillin'.

As we left, I saw a Coast Guard boat with a manned machine gun at the bow.

It was lobster night . Dinner was Caprese, shrimp cocktail, lobster tail, and molten chocolate cake (sort of.). W had Caprese and minestrone, lobster, and baked Alaska (sort of).Läs mer

St. Thomas
16 mars 2022, Amerikanska Jungfruöarna ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
St. Thomas, USVI- So beautiful.

Our mission today: W had been wanting conch chowder. Mission accomplished. We took a taxi to town, (interesting-- open air with seats attached to big pickup truck chassis) and then walked around a bit. Many people wanted to sell us jewelry-- we told one that we were in search of conch chowder. He aimed us toward a restaurant.

We walked a bit, and asked another jewelry-seller if we were on the right track to that restaurant. "Why would you want to go there?" he asked. He had previously conducted food tours, and suggested that Gladys's would be a better choice. It was great!

W got his conch chowder. We shared an order of conch fritters and an avacado and lobster salad. SO good!!! Highly recommend Gladys's next time you're in St. Thomas.

Back to the ship for some balcony time, and saw this guy and several of his friends at the pier.

Dinner- Shrimp cocktail, sole, and lemon tart; seafood cake, chicken parmesan and Mississippi mud pie.Läs mer

Another Lovely Sea Day
15 mars 2022, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
I love Sea Days. It's time to not have to even feel like I should be doing something.

I had a laid-back day, enjoyed fresh air in Central Park. We had a beautiful sunset, and dinner with friends. I had shrimp cocktail, grilled salmon, and bananas Foster. Yum!!! W had lasagne- not too thrilled.Läs mer

Nassau
14 mars 2022, Bahamas ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Had another laid-back day. I chose to stay on the ship, while W took a short stroll past the pier. It was really windy, but I found a less blustery place in the Solarium- after moving away from someone talking loudly on his phone, and a group of people in a hot tub who could probably be heard in Barbados.

We met up with our friends Darla and Rick-, and spent a couple of hours catching up. They have been traveling for several months- we, for several weeks.

We had dinner together - I had beef tenderloin, and W had lemon butter cod. Can't remember starters or dessert.

I spent some time in the casino, doing some slots... Had a couple of decent wins.Läs mer

Turnaround Day
13 mars 2022, Förenta staterna ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
First things first. Virginia Tech won the ACC Basketball Championship last night. GO HOKIES!!!

Today is back-to-back turnaround day in Miami. It's a bit chilly, but our hearts are warm because we'll be joined by our friends Darla and Rick- worldwide traveling companions.

Our stuff was mostly packed last night, and the stewards are moving everything to our new stateroom. We will clear customs, then come back aboard for lunch. They need to keep us occupied while they clean rooms.Läs mer

Really- just chilled. Not much to say.

There was a big windstorm in late afternoon, and the rest of the night was a tad rocky. But hey- at sea!

Kohunlich
11 mars 2022, Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
The big attraction in Kohunlich is the Temple of the Masks. And the masks are pretty impressive.

We got back after All Aboard, but there were 2 buses of us, so... Adventure of the Seas was also in port with us.

Late entry; saw sunrise this morning 😁, and saw Norwegian Breakaway transiting as we pulled in to port.

Dinner tonight: Insalate Caprese, Barramundi, and Baked Alaska for me, Minestrone, Barramundi, and Lava Cake for The Husband. Watching scores tonight for UNC vs VT basketball.Läs mer

Incredible ruins- really beautiful. Again, astronomical significance. Saw a Howler Monkey in a tree above us. It was larger than I expected.

The Plaza -had seating areas to watch punishment of enemies. It was apparently a great form of entertainment back then.

And a dragonfly stopped by. Hi, Mom!Läs mer

Dag 5
Roatan, Honduras
10 mars 2022, Honduras ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Chose to do another laid-back day. Roatan has a lot of resorts further out on the island, and would be a lovely place to come and chill for a week.

There is a large marketplace on the pier. We walked around, resisted buying all the tourist stuff, but did spring for a frozen coffee and a replenishment of the M&M Almond supply.

We thought we'd walk around the town, but were surrounded by an overwhelming number of young men who wanted to escort us around. It was too much for W, so we turned around and headed back to the ship.

Also inport is Norwegian Pearl. First time I've seen her.

Dinner was Coconut shrimp, yummy medium rare Prime rib, and Pavlova. W had French onion soup, Fish&Chips (and half of a huge serving of Prime rib), and a dark chocolate brownie with ice cream. All winners.

No show for me tonight. Chillin' and knittin'.

Puerto Costa Maya tomorrow and more Mayan ruins.Läs mer
