Carnival Liberty - Grand Turk

Gorgeous day here in Grand Turk. They are living up to their name!



For the price of one smoothie, we have free wifi. We likey! Everyone has been complaining about the slow-to-NO Internet on the ship. Bugger to that.

Also bugger to the lack of entertainer last night. No comedy club; no piano bar. Sure they had the marriage show on stage, but how many times do we want to see that?

So we made our own entertainment after dinner. There was a line guitarist in the atrium, so MM and I sat to listen. Then along came Cat, who had "lost" her mama, so we chatted and laughed and watched the people parade by. What a sight that was!

Cat finally reached Bee by phone in their room, so she came down and joined us. We make our own fun! That is also one of the joys of cruising.

So now we are off to explore a bit; maybe get a neck massage on the beach, all while listening to live island music.

Life is Grand, my friends. WYWH!

Ola, San Juan!

Breakfast this morning, then a walkabout old San Juan, enjoying the street vendors and scenery.













The piano bar was hopping last night with all the Beavers from CA. Tonight it is dark. Bugger. Seth deserves a night off, but still...

Tomorrow is awesome Grand Turk; Friday is a sea day. Just so ya know.

Life is good. Cheers!

Carnival Liberty in St. Thomas

Fantastic weather, even better view.



Dick and I walked over to the sky tram and rode to the top for a banana daiquiri, something "ordered" for us to do by a very important person last Friday, so we did. Even though it was too early in the day. It was somewhat nice closure, and for a very good reason.

Dinner last night for elegant night was lobster (yum), followed by the family comedy show, and a new "World" entertainment show with music and scenery depicting major world countries. Ireland was well represented on St. Pat's Day in the show and all over the ship.

We rocked the piano bar with the Empress till pretty late.



That Bee is always fun, plus it was a friendly crowd...again.

We will be back in the piano bar again tonight. Love the music and entertainment. Srsly. Seth Gibson is awesome and talented...and mighty cute, too.





Tomorrow is San Juan. WYWH!

Life is mighty good, y'all!

Carnival Liberty - Day 2

Sunday, and it was a beautiful day for us at Half Moon Cay, enjoying a little beach time, complete with lunch on the island.



We had a great time at the piano bar each with Empress Bee and her daughter, once. Seth is fabulous. We thoroughly enjoy his mellow voice and piano skills.

As you can see, Monday was a sea day. We like those. There is always entertainment of some sort all over the ship, even if it is only people watching. Which we did.

We are docked today, Tuesday, in beautiful St. Thomas. Will post more later.

Having fun! WYWH!!!

Carnival Liberty. Day 1

Home, sweet home, for the coming week.

Ahhh. We need this.

MM and I picked up Empress Bee this morning, enjoyed breakfast, and are now onboard this lovely ship...a new ship for us. Cat is joining us on the Lido deck. It is time to eat again.

Life is good, y'all! Tag along and enjoy this cruise with us.

Monday, Monday

 

Good Monday morning from paradise, where the critters are already out seeking their breakfast.

We four had a busy weekend.  Jimmy and Cathy were available for lunch on Saturday, so we met them in Hobe Sound at Harry and the Natives.  It is a neat place that happens to also have good food…and a very good time was had with very good friends…the best combination, for sure.  Photo as promised for our kids to see these two sweet folks.

The social committee put on a fantastic BBQ here at the park on Saturday night:  BBQ ribs, chicken, and all the trimmings, as well as music and a little dancing.  We made some new friends, which is always pleasing.

Sunday was church, lunch at Bob/Lynne’s coach, then some retail therapy for Lynne and me while the guys putzed around doing guy stuff.   Picadillo from my freezer with saffron rice and salad was dinner.  I love having good, basic stuff frozen for quick meals, especially when Lynne and I had important shopping to do!  We scored some (necessary) bargains.

We are grilling tonight.  Bob and Lynne are having fun with the local accountant this morning.  MM is getting a hair cut this morning so I can have the car to go get mine cut this afternoon.  We have to share, so we do.  It (mostly) works.

It’s a regular fun factory around here.

So tomorrow will begin a true work day for all four of us, but we will plod onward with confidence.

Life is good, y’all!  Hug your loved ones.

Friday in paradise

 

MM and I felt like we had been wrestling a few alligators yesterday, so we crashed early and slept late, and now we have a brand new day.

There is a front moving in, so we are mostly cloudy, but that’s OK.  It makes us appreciate all those sunny days even more.  Plus, we don’t have anything pressing on the calendar today.  Hey, that means this is a day off, right?  I declare it so.

It is also a grateful day, and I send hugs to all you special people.  May we all strive to be more grateful for our blessings, and treat one another with just a little more kindness.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things that money can’t buy.
