Land Ho! 10-30-14

First sight of St. Kitts as dawn was breaking

I was awake before the alarm this morning and since my bed is close to the balcony, I opened the drapes to see very cloudy skies hanging over the islands of the West Indies as we started to get close to St. Kitts.  The Captain told us yesterday that we would arrive during breakfast providing you had your breakfast at 9 AM.  He actually is very funny with a dry sense of humor.  This is our first time to see land since Boston on Sunday. 

Debbie and I went out on the balcony to take some photos before heading up to eat breakfast.  It is quite a shock to the system to have it hot and humid after last week’s cruise.  My glasses steamed up when I went outside and so did the camera lens.  We have all been to St. Kitts before so no one was in a hurry to get off the ship except the 200 or so on the ship that are here for the first time.  Some of the girls were doing the train around the island which I did the first time I was here.  We weren’t interested in that again since it is not air conditioned and they had a guy with a bucket of sand that had to put sand on the tracks for it to get enough traction in some places to move on…..no thanks.  Basically we had planned to just walk through the shops in the terminal area and come back.  It was more of a pain than I remember it to be since the tour operators and cab drivers harassed us the entire time.  They also followed us so we gave up early and came back to the ship.

Had never seen this inflatable that belonged to the ship

We were amused at the size of the butts on the mannequins

Clouds looked threatening

 

Debbie was doing her spreadsheet about who owes who and how much.  Then we did our shirts for tomorrow’s Halloween night celebration and they turned out cute.  I won’t discuss until tomorrow’s blog.

I will post photos when we are able.  The internet continues to be a pain.  Kay had to answer a work email last night and was so frustrated she said she was screaming.  55 minutes to answer and send one email is absurd when you can pull up the RCL website page and it loads immediately.  What is up with that?  Time to get ready for dinner.  I hope Lindsay, Chris and Paige have a Happy Halloween!
