Carnival Breeze - Thursday

Another beautiful day in paradise! Good morning from Tortola, a new port for us, as was yesterday.



The four fouls had a delightful two-hour taxi ride around the SWEET portion of Antigua, which is Spanish for ancient. We saw some relatively ancient buildings, and a lot of colorful homes and businesses. More photos after we return home.

We have to be back onboard by 3, so the plan today is a shortened version of yesterday's tour.

Upon return to the ship, we have Carnival's Platinum party to attend. Tonight, we are having dinner with Jim and Janet at the Cucina del Capitano, which is supposed to be entirely different from the lunches there.

Reading in the shade by the pool, listening to music, is a fine way to wait before going ashore. Tomorrow is a sea day, then Nausea, um, Nassau...then back to reality. The week is flying by.

Oh, the Latin Lights show last night was pretty good. I miss the live band though, but I suppose using sound tracks and computer background glitz will save money. The dancers, eight of them, all sing (supposedly) and dance. There is a small combo with singer that plays in the plaza at intervals, but no big band. Changes, changes. They are playing around with dining room stuff as well...different opening times, no opening times...a breakfast brunch. We roll with the changes, but don't have to like them.

The bloggers special super star show was a hoot yesterday. John and Calvyn sang a duet that will undoubtedly embarrass them for years on YouTube and Facebook!

Life is just as good as you make it, and so we make it good and even occasionally great! WYWH, y'all!!!

Wow, this week has flown by indeed. Even here where it's cold and rainy. I'm glad you've had a great time. I'll await many posts about your adventures.

Have a terrific day honey. Big hugs to you all. :)

I could make that work! Yesiree! And I'm figuring you've been by to see Ron some more! Cruise time always goes by way too fast for me!

Big hugs from chilly south jawjah! xoxo

Wow it is hard to believe that it is almost over! It seems like you guys just started.

It sounds delightful and I can't wait to see all of your pictures. I have been on vacation here at home. But the weather turned again.

It's cold, fogy and supposed to rain through next Tuesday! So back to blogging for me.

I am glad you two are having fun. I would love to be sitting in a dining room right now being served some great food. I'm hungry!

Keep on having fun and taking pictures!

Big hugs!:-)

We can't wait to see all the pictures and hear more when you get back to shore! We are home today for "snow." It has started raining and freezing on the cars so there is a real fear of an ice storm. :( Glad you get to miss it! Miss you guys!
