Day 2 we moved anchor & sailed to the capital city, Castries.
Our first raining day and it was kinda nice not to be super hot for a change. We were going to explore the local beach, but opted for duty free shopping at ship terminal and a taxi ride to a couple of scenic overlooks. Gave Cathy & Rod tour of ship and caught up on getting my holiday bookings for Macchu Picchu set up - so many pieces and logistics! View of ship from scenic overlook.
A bunch of things happening, despite not stepping on terra firm, the last 5 days! We crossed the international date line last night and lost the entire day of January 25th! So Weird! We are now 18 hours ahead of my friends and family on the east coast of USA.
I write this post with a heavy heart, tragedy has struck our happy Community. One of our much loved, founding residents had a heart attack and sadly didn't recover, as we sailed to Moorea.
I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!
