  • St Kitts… Shopping and a Man  with a Monkey hustling pictures

    This was quite the shopping port.  Enjoyed everything. Bought a local a drink. I think it was his full time job. Turned around and another man put a monkey on James. He was of course hustling pictures. Guess did my part to support the locals today😁😁🐒

  • Guadeloupe walking through the trees.

    I think 75 feet up on a bridge that looks like it was a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark is not for me. James got a kick out of it anyway

    It would have been a bit more fun if the line would have kept moving. It was slow going. I don’t think I would do it again

  • St johns swimming with Stingray’s

    Getting on a bus in the next port. with a few moments of internet I hope this gets through

  • St Thomas

    It’s a trap… A tourist trap…😁  Bought a shirt and they charged me more than marked.  We are going to wander around a bit more.

  • Half Moon kay

    It’s overcast but warm today. Just hanging out at the beach . More later

  • We Made It

    Due to the ship cleaning effort it was a bit crowded getting on board. Fortunately because I am 4 star aka frequent spender we got pulled into the expedite line. In any case we made it

  • On the Way Out of Town Update!

    Made it. Spirit wasn’t that bad. Still not my first choice in Airlines. Hotel shuttle never materialized but it was a short taxi ride to the not so great side of town(I know how to pick them). Hotel is actually pretty good. Kind of like a Best Western. Was able to get late checkout and shuttle to the cruise port. Overall satisfied. Hopefully tomorrow will be the start of a great vacation…

    **********************************************************************

    We are heading to the airport momentarily. Will be enduring a flight on Spirit. Hopefully it won’t be too bad. Got a big price break on the tickets but you know you get what you pay for…

  • A walk to Hoover Dam

    Walking the Railroad Trail to Hoover Dam is a walk we’ve done many times. It’s an easy hike, except for the last mile where the trail drops a couple of hundred feet to the dam. The round trip is eight miles in total. Today, I took James along, and he did quite well, especially for someone who doesn’t usually get much exercise.

  • Are we about to join the Plague Ship?

    Several reports indicate the cruise ship are about to embark on has a rather large outbreak of Norovirus.

    Nearly 90 sick with Norovirus on Holland America cruise that left Florida

    I’ve already received a message indicating the boarding process will be delayed while cleaning up after the last group. At this point if there was a way to reschedule this I would.

    Guess going to spend time avoiding crowds, wiping down everything and avoid the buffet. Hopefully we can avoid becoming ill.

  • Getting Ready for the Caribbean

    I fully intended to take my son on a cruise this year. What I didn’t expect was to be heading out so soon. As it turns out, we selected an eleven-day cruise on the Eurodam for the beginning of March. I’m still working on the details. Stay tuned..
