Going on a cruise tomorrow

Lawrence · Dec 5th, 2009, 03:16 PM

I think I have everything packed,
I'm leaving the laptop behind and taking my three iPods along instead.

Taking my Canon 8 mp SD1000 Digital Elph with two 16 gb flash cards,
Leaving the expensive cameras behind at home this time, They are too clunky.

Going to Puerto Rico tomorrow morning to hop on a Princess cruise ship,
We'll be going on a cruise of the Grenadines, Can hardly wait.

This will be starting in Aruba after a day and a half at sea,
Then working our way up the Grenadines up to St. Thomas and then back to Puerto Rico.

I'm hoping to do all my Christmas shopping in St. Thomas.
This'll be my 5th cruise in 5 years, second cruise this year.

Lol

Wish me luck

See you all in a week.

For sure, I'll post some pictures or links.

Never been to Aruba before, Never been that far south before actually.
Dominica should be interesting with the rain forest, Practically untouched.

Bonaire and Grenada are other places that are a complete mystery to me.

Guess I'll see them soon enough,
Going to see a spice plantation in Grenada and a spa in Bonaire.

Been to St. Thomas a few times and I know where the best shops are,
I've made a list, So I'm really prepared to shop this time.

Here's some online pic's from 2007

You have to climb to the top of the hill to get this shot, Cable car doesn't go that high.
(U.S. Virgin Islands)

Cheers!

Hey, Thanks Sinc, I'm onboard the Caribbean Princess right now in the Internet Cafe,
We are about halfway to Aruba right now, Should be in Aruba by morning.
I can't upload any pictures but I'll be sure to upload some when I get back to T.O.

It's formal night tonight, I'm in my shorts, Heh.

It's been raining off and on today and boy is it ever hot and humid,
The sea was pretty empty today, No other ships, Not even a whale or dolphin.

Anyways thanks for all the bon voyages everyone,
Having a great time, Cheers!.

Hi all, Aruba certainly was built up and pricey,
Although they only have 3% sales tax, Not bad.
Bought one T Shirt, Too expensive to buy two,
Not as cheap there as the Virgin isles.

Next we did Bonaire, Beautiful place, Much nicer than Aruba,
We did a nice early morning tour of the island and saw wild donkeys and parrots,
Stopped at a local museum and took in some views of an inland lake full of "Pink Flamingos"

Been buying postcards at each stop,
I'll have a lot of writing to do for friends and family.

Next stop is Grenada, Don't get in until noon,
Should be interesting, The spice island.

Weather has been holding up fine,
No rain, But boy is it ever hot and humid!!!
Heard we had a lot of snow back in Canada,
Hope it isn't too bad, I didn't bring a coat with me for our return.

After Grenada, We'll be going to more familar grounds to me,
St. Thomas, This'll be my third time there, Love that city.

Anyways, Gotta go, Hope everyone is well in Canada.

Cheers!
