We are indeed headed towards "home port" Fort Lauderdale but we don’t have to get off. This morning we were given our marchng orders… We are to eat breakfast Friday morning then gather at 9:30 in the dining room to get our credentials for the second cruise. Then we will be marched off the ship through customs and then back on the ship with our new credentials for the second half of this sea faring adventure. Chuck booked a 1/2 price specialty dinner for the first night in Giovannis restaurant. The 1/2 price deal is for consecutive travelers. To summarize where we have been… Antigua, St Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Bonaire, Aruba. After Fort Lauderdale we will go to Tortola, St Kitts, Dominica, Antigua and St Maarten. There will be a priest on board who might celebrate daily Mass!!! I think we will get Mass on Palm Sunday and hope for daily Mass all Holy Week… I know I can get a Good Friday service in St Maarten as I have gone to daily Mass at St Martin of Tours very near the ship and a boardwalk where I deposit Chuck at a little bar on the boardwalk. He can read and people watch while I worship. Easter Sunday is our last day on the ship and there will be a Mass (and … the Easter bunny will be visiting the children). I’ve stepped up exercise… This morning I walked around deck 5, "the Promenade" for 45 minutes and boy was that a long walk!!! I was able to walk out on the helicopter pad and look over …. yikes it is actually scary to look out and down at all that water. Then over an hour in the pool until I am a little wobbly. Gotta go get pretty as tonight is formal night!!!!! Have a wonderful spring. Be kind. God bless you.
