Oh how I love SEA DAYS!

Our SEA DAYS have been few and far between of late and I really needed some down time. I love the SHIP'S SPA - the massages are fantastic; this time I also had a facial! The second SEA DAY I had a pedicure and a haircut. Both SEA DAYS I got to play tons of pickleball, and our group of players has really grown. We do lots of rotating and elimination play - so lots of people can play at varying levels and everyone still having a good time. It also helps that we have comfy deck furniture to await our turn, along with good music and an open bar. Life is pretty amazing!!

Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .

Other residents had a great experience at Singapore's Food Playground on prior visits, so we wanted to try it out! Our first day in Port, twelve of us signed up for a fun afternoon, where we got to enjoy our creations as a yummy lunch. Front row (L to R) is Ellie, Rick, their visiting friend, Sue, Christy and Angela. Back Row - Me, Bosco, Delia, John, Terri & Lori.

We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
