Paul dropped me off at the Palm Springs airport where I will be taking a flight to Miami and meeting up with Stephanie and my 2 sister-in-laws, Cindy and Nancy. We are going to take a 5 day cruise to the Caribbean. I haven’t been on a cruise in several years so I am looking forward to Sailing a Way.
The weather was perfect, and we had lots of time on the ship to enjoy the lounge chairs and cocktails! People watching and playing cards so also.
Stephanie and I had a couple of adventures on our stops in the islands. We rented a Jeep and did some 4 wheeling on Turks & Caicos. Beautiful, tiny island The most exciting was we took a bus to a hiking spot to swim in some natural water slides. Very exciting, a couple I had to bypass. The water was refreshing and the hike helped with all the meals we are having. The high lite of the cruise for me was Stephanie and I went to a monkey preserve at Amber Cove, Dominican Republic. Amazing, I would go back just for this experience.
There were so many and they love the treats we were giving them.
After the cruise, Cindy, Stephanie and I spent a couple days exploring. We stood in line to see an exhibit by Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese Artist. I thought it was fascinating and definitely different. Stephanie was not impressed!
Onto Key Biscane. We enjoyed the beach and did a couple touristy things. We went to a Waterlife park and enjoyed the flamingos and the dancing dolphins.
This is the beach that our hotel was on. The hotel was not fancy at all but was in an amazing location with a very nice pool. We found a lighthouse and looked at the huts out in the ocean, to realize that Cindy and I had been here before, years before. Neither one of us remembered until we saw the huts!
