Just a FANTASTIC Trip!

What a terrific trip we had! 6 days on an ocean cruise ships, visiting 6 ports of call. St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, and finally, St. Kitts. We planned an excursion for every day. We spent every evening - fine dining, which was 5 star! We snapped some 1400 photos in those jammed packed days (some seen below). We met some fabulous people every day on the ship and even on shore. The ship had 4 swimming pools, 4 dining rooms, a buffet area, 24-7 snacks, countless bars, a casino, a huge theater-style TV, water slide, 4 glass elevators, Starbucks, shops, and much more. We were upgraded to a balcony suite, which we enjoyed very much, though I wouldn't have spent an extra $400 for it in the first place, but for $80 we took it!
Some highlights of the trip included, mushroom boulders on Barbados, Blackbeard's castle on St. Thomas, Trafalgar Falls on Dominica, the English Harbour on St. Lucia, Fort James on Antigua, and a 2 hour ride on the 'Sugar' train (top speed 8 mph) on St. Kitts. We were plum tuckered out by the end of each day, but it was all worth it. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone! We also stayed extra days in Old San Juan to take in the sights there and we did. We toured El Morro and San Cristobel - two fortresses in Old San Juan, and took in the many sights, sounds, and food of Puerto Rico. The room at the Howard Johnson was much to be appreciated, but since we only slept there it wasn't too bad. In the 9 days away, we only had one poor day for weather - Wednesday in Barbados; the rest was 30º+C with VERY high humidity which was on some of the days almost unbearable. My ears were burnt and on the last day my upper arms got very red, but I survived.
It was pretty depressing to come back to Regina to this kind of weather, (it's raining as I'm typing and it's cold!) but it's good to be home. Not keen on going back to work, but it's the only way we can afford to go back to these warm climates again.
I'll write again when I get the chance.
