We are now in Samana, Dominican Republic. We anchored here at about 6:30 am. I doubt we will get off the ship here. When we are anchored, they open up a back deck and put out kayaks, paddle boards, big rafts, etc.

Yesterday it cleared and was in the mid 80s and muggy. We went to the area with pools and a lazy river to walk around but were not impressed. When we went outside of that area to try to walk to a fort it was an unpleasant looking area and we were constantly accosted by people trying to sell us stuff. We were back at the ship by noon and had a nice quiet day in the sun, pool, and having lunch.

There ended up being 8 of us watching the Patriots in the lounge on 2 iPads and a couple of phones. One couple was rooting for the Texans and the rest for the Patriots. Fun watching as a group and great to see the Patriots win. I guess we will be doing the same thing next week in San Juan.

My sinus infection seems very close to gone but I am going to finish the antibiotics and continue the steroid spray until it is completely eradicated this time.

It is our friend's birthday today so we are going to a specialty restaurant tonight. Our other friend's birthday is in 2 nights but that may be when we have the ship BBQ.

Have a multifaceted Monday!

It was supposed to be a generic version of non-drowsy extended release Dramamine but it definitely still made me more drowsy than usual.

Unless one has a heat pump, the heat in Florida is provided by electrical coils which the usual AC air (uncooled) blows over. Takes forever to heat up. I thought it was broken when I first used it after we replaced our AC. The maintenance guy had to show me how it worked and explain why it worked so badly.

You will be excited once you are there and start your new life for the next few weeks. Nice tradition to be met at the airport and love the description of your neighborhood. Can't wait to hear further descriptions and see pictures!

Golf cart?! Oh my gosh, I love riding around in golf carts.

When I don't plan well and snack around for meals, my diet gets really bad really fast! When I cook, I end up with leftovers for days, which I don't always love.
