Tuesday, February 28, 2023 Happy Birthday to Sean and Sue! We started the day out by going piranha fishing. They docked a barge right next to ship that let us walk right onto our little boat. What a great idea. We had a great ride down the river – Keith said it felt more Jungle […]

Monday, February 27, 2023 We were out on deck before 8am this morning! The naturalist, Richard, is out there every morning, taking pictures that he is willing to share with us. I figured his GIANT camera and excellent skill would be all that is needed to get great shots, but I thought I should get

Sunday, February 26, 2023 It was a sea day tonight, as we sailed along in the Atlantic Ocean. It was grey and overcast, then really rainy. Keith started out by practicing while whale watching out of our balcony window. He did not see a whale. Or a dolphin. Trivia at noon – Donna and Elio

Saturday, February 25, 2023 Happy birthday to Karen and Marla! Today also marks six years since we lost our brother-in-law, Thom. We are thinking of all of them today. Today was a really unusual cruise stop. We were officially on French Giana soil, on one of the Îles du Salut (Islands of Salvation) (oh, such

Friday, February 24, 2023 It was a sea day today. We had to be up and ready at noon for trivia – and we barely made it. Given enough time, we can waste all of it. We found Regina and Brad to start, then gathered two people from nearby – Elios and Donna – to

Thursday, February 23, 2023 It’s 2-23-2023! So many twos and threes! Today we were in Barbados. We got to sleep in today, because our excursion wasn’t until 11am. We had to get up in time for breakfast before 9, because we were going to miss lunch (from 11-2). It’s all about planning for the eating!

Wednesday, February 22, 2023 We were in Dominica (Dom-in-EE-kuh) today. The port talks keep telling us that facilities/transport will not be up to the standard to which we are accustomed: vehicles will not be air conditioned/sanitary conditions will not be what we expect/people will be reserved and not willing to share/talk. I think it is

Tuesday, February 21, 2023 It’s great to look out your window in the morning to see an island coming into view. We usually have inside cabins, but there are no inside cabins on Viking, so we can look out. Beautiful. We were in Antigua (An – tee – guh by the locals) today. Our guide

Monday, February 2/20/2023 Alexander called Puerto Rico “America asterick”, and that is how I thought of it all day today. It didn’t feel like the United States, but they use American money and stamps. We talked to we our guide about whether he thought people wanted to be a state and he said it’s split

Sunday, February 19, 2023 My alarm went off at 3:05am and Keith said, “Your alarm is going off.” I said, “I know.” I didn’t know. I was out cold. We tried going to bed early, and Keith was sound asleep 1 minute after his head hit the pillow. I watched the clock for 90 minutes.
