SCARBOROUGH, TOBAGO - Port greeting
After our port talk - it seemed the most interesting thing, in this sleepy fishing village of TOBAGO, was to go to Pigeon Point Beach and get a boat ride out to the Nylon pool ( which is a large shallow area, in the center of the ocean, with transparent turquoise water. Princess Margaret visited on her honeymoon in 1962, and said the transparent water was like Nylons. Locals claim the water and sand rejuvenate women by 10 years and give men, 10 years more in smarts! A lot of people, including me, rubbed the sands all over their bodies. I found the boat tour on Get your Guide We also were able to negotiate a van driver from the port, who took us and picked us up later from the port to the beach docking areas.

HONOLULU, on O'AHU ISLAND, HAWAII - Our first port in the USA!!
8 SEA DAY CROSSING TO HAWAII - 5/24 to 6/1/25
Cabo is known as a party town - I was here years ago with the girls iand remember the lively bar & restaurant scene in and around the marina. There appears to be even more, from what I recall! This was a tender port for us and we only had about 6 hours in Port. It was a gorgeous sunny day and I had planned to Uber out to the colonial, artsy town of San Jose del Cabo with a friend, but she was feeling very under the weather. So after a quick jaunt along the marina - she went back to the ship and I walked some more looking for a plan B. I ran into another friend and we decided the best way to say farewell to Mexico and use up our pesos was to drink Margaritas! So off we went and found a nice second floor deck, to oversee the marina and enjoy the scenery.
