SATURDAY, MAY 8TH--ANTIGUA

Love Antigua! It’s 6pm and Rebecca just got back from her tour and I got back at 5:30 and have showered and am ready for cocktails and dinner. Ole dare devil Rebecca came through the door with hair in a mess raving about how great a time she had doing a zip line over the canopy tops of the rain forest. She went with Cynthia and Caroline. John and I did a 4 hour island tour that was also fantastic. Our guide was the best of all our tours. Of course what made the tour so great was the beauty of this island. It’s no wonder that so many Hollywood stars have homes here or visit the island often. I hope my photos will capture the colors and scenic beauty of Antiqua. We both went to the gym this morning as the ship did not arrive until just after noon and we will sail at 7pm for the island of Tortola where we will be arriving at 8am tomorrow. So I decided to do my post-cruise weighing today. The news is good as I have only gained 3 pounds. I know some people on the ship that gain that much every day. I should have that weight off by the end of May. For dinner the chef is preparing veal osso bucco for us. (Trying to make amends for the fish last night) That is one of our favorite dishes. The show is “The New York Vagabonds”, four young, male singers who will sing a variety of songs. I think it should be a good show as it is with “young blood”. Most acts on cruise ships are people in the later stages of their careers.
