Good thing I have this daily posting to remind me of the day LOL! We are arriving in BVI this morning and should anchor shortly. We can't see the land from our balcony but I am guessing they can on the other side of the ship.

We stayed on the ship all day yesterday and didn't regret it. Our friend went into town for a while to explore and wasn't thrilled. We will get off the ship on all 3 BVI stops though. Last night's birthday celebration dinner for our friend (the husband) was good. Quite different menu but very tasty. It was supposed to be Mediterranean but different from restaurants like that at home. I had a great fish dish.

Today we anchor next to Virgin Gorda. There will be a BBQ and water sports like kayaking and paddle boarding from the beach all day. Looking forward to it as they always do a good job at it. Tonight we have a reservation at the steak/lamb chop restaurant on deck, then the crew talent show if we stay up late enough. I have been crashing by 10 every night and sleeping like the dead.

I hope DD and her DH arrived in Brazil safely and uneventfully. Looking forward to lots of stories from there!

Have a top-notch Tuesday!

Sorry it is cold again! I hope it gets out of its system by the time we are back next week.

If you bought your cart as new and it is banged up they should make it right. These places rely on having a good reputation usually so hopefully all will be made right.

I don't remember my ears being terribly painful and I looked at my pics and they looked pretty normal at this point. Might want to check with your PS?

Greetings all

The sun has departed and it is overcast. More like normal. I have a pot roast underway and studio buddy will be here soon to watch the college football champ game. I went to the studio earlier and did some glazing as well as delivering payroll and 1099's. The place has entered the winter busy stage since there are fewer outdoor activities right now.

Yay DD is on the plane and on the way. Can't wait to hear about Brazil and such.

Hmm CC flap steak? Glad you found a good way to cook it. I have often looked at some of those lesser known meat cuts and wondered how to cook them. Good on you for entering a healthy eating phase. Yes processed carbs are the true culprit in weight gain and they have the most allure these days - even more than sweets. You are rocking this.

Peps sorry your ears hurt. Years ago my brother had some plastics on his ears - to sort of pin them back as they stuck out - and that was a super painful thing for him. Worth a check with the doctor and a donut pillow.

Yay Paula for church lady fun night. I have never played bunco but hear it is fun. Enjoy. Bet you come home with some new peeps.

Liz glad the illness is on the decline. Yeah some caribbean places come with hucksters. In the Bahamas there were always peddlers but they had pretty strict rules like responding to "no". Hope you get to spend some nice beach time.

Bonnie painting class!!! You are right to get your own brushes instead of relying on whatever is provided. we want to see what you paint. And yay you for maintaining well.

We have Acorn tv which is brit shows. I will check for the old lady rock stars show. We like a series called the Brokenwood Mysteries which is out of New Zealand. Makes me want to go there but talk about your long flights!! My law school BF went there and married a kiwi and lived there for awhile. She says they have no good pizza there and someone could make a fortune with a good pizza shop.
