Cruise (Days 6 & 7- St Thomas & Puerto Rico)

Friday & Saturday- St Thomas & Puerto Rico

Having been to all the islands, Linda said that St Thomas is the place to shop... so that's exactly what we did!  Also had lunch at a fabulous little local place- YUMMY fresh seafood!

Loved waking up to a different view every morning



Our taxi

I have no idea- just being silly



I could easily look at this every day


Time to leave


Being silly before dinner

Last night in the casino (changed into our travel clothes since they took our suitcases!)

What a welcome home!  Missed this sweet face!

Overall it was a wonderful week- better than I ever expected!  I enjoyed visiting new places, spending time with people I love, and taking a break from others that I love :)  I can't wait to go on my next cruise.. so where are we going, Linda?  Ha Ha!

Cruise (Day 5- St Maarten)

Thursday- St Maarten

Our time in St Maarten was for beach time.. NUDE beach time- LOL!  Okay, to clarify- we went to a nude beach, but did not participate!  I'm not going to lie, it was very awkward... but also something I thought was fun to do at least once in my life!  We relaxing on the beach and enjoyed lunch at this cute place right on the water.  After spending more time working on our tans, we walked backed to the ship and did some shopping along the way (of course!)

Allure of the Seas was docked next to our ship- WOW that thing is huge!

I hope to see you again VERY soon, St Maarten.

We hung out on the topless beach

The only way to take a pic on the nude beach- towards the water!  :)

Lunch


Sweet cat hanging around at lunch- I wanted to bring him home because he reminded me of Max!


Shopping!

Time to get on the ship

That evening after dinner we once again returned to the casino.. but this time we had some luck!  Or at least Stacy did- WHOO HOO JACKPOT!




That's pennies, but STILL!

Cruise (Day 4- Antigua)

Wednesday- Antigua

I was so excited about this day of our trip... a snorkeling & kayaking adventure!!

Getting off the ship 

Driving through town

Selling fresh pineapple along the road- it looked really good!

After arriving at our destination, we were split into 3 groups and got on boats to take us out to the islands!  The boats went REALLY fast, so it was a nice refreshing (although slightly scary) trip- thought I was gonna fall out!  Once we got to the island, we took a hike up to this really pretty lookout point before grabbing our snorkeling gear!  I didn't any pics while we were snorkeling or kayaking because I didn't want to ruin my camera- but it was so fun & beautiful! 



Hanging on for dear life

Stacy, Linda, me, & Mom

Okay this was scary


Taking it in

Is she gonna jump??  :)

Before going kayaking, we hung out for a little bit on the island beach... just breathtaking.




Kayaking

After kayaking we relaxing at this plantation/home with everyone on our tour and had a few drinks!

Isn't he a cute fella?

Got a tad bit sunburned....

Watching 2 ships leave port before us

Heading to dinner
