Boy oh boy….there is so much to do here! Sorry, folks, I was just too tired to write last night! Yesterday, we were in St. Thomas. Grant and I rented a motorboat and took it all the way around St. John, stopping at 4 different beaches to snorkel.
First let me say, I LOVE the water in the Caribbean! It is so warm…ah…
Anywho, we had a great time out on the boat. St. John is a beautiful island (as is what we saw of St. Thomas) and it was so nice being just us. All of the beaches we stopped at were empty…pretty much just us. It was sweet. The very first beach that we stopped at, we jumped in the water, and I put on my mask, and there, right under our boat, was a reef shark! Yikes! (Well, I say yikes, Grant thought it was cool!) We also saw a sea turtle at another beach. We had ordered sandwiches from room service the night before, so we packed those for lunch.
We came back to get ready for our first formal night, which wasn’t so easy because I got completely sunburned! My stomach, parts of my back, my forehead, and yes, my butt (again!) Sigh. I guess the sun block didn’t stay on with all the swimming and sweating and I didn’t reapply it enough!
(oooh…we are pulling out of St. Martin right now!!!!)
anyway back to yesterday. Formal night was fun. We took lots of pictures (we’ll see how they turn out). We have two other couples and a family sitting at our table. One couple is from LA, she is a teacher, and they got married on July 23, like us. They started their honeymoon in New York and then came on this cruise. The other couple has been married 3 years…and they have a dog that is like their kid…so we got to talk about belle and kanga.
For dinner, I had shrimp cocktail, oxtail soup, eggplant mozzarella, and a vanilla soufflé for dessert. Grant had the oxtail soup, a Cesar salad, Roasted duck, and the vanilla soufflé…good stuff!
After dinner, we took some more portraits and then went to the Lyric Theater to watch the show. Neither one of us had said we really wanted to see the show…it was a singer impersonator…but it was starting as we walked by so we decided to check it out….This guy was fantastic…he was funny and very talented! He could do Michael Jackson, Elvis, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Housten, Celine Dione…I mean he was incredible!
After that, we went to watch some karaoke. Then we walked through Jester’s which is this totally fabulous two story night club that is themed renaissance style…just to see the glow party…Its such a cool place inside…we checked it out earlier when it was empty and it was very cool…during the glow party, there were lots of strobe lights and loud music for dancing, and all of the drinks were served in glow cups.
We ended our night at the adult comedy show, which started at 12:15. It was an awesome show…it was worth the sacrificed hours of sleep! We got back to our room at 1:00.
I need to get ready for dinner, so I will tell you all about our day in St. Martaan/Martin later on!!!
