Spring 2015 - Day 10

Today is the last full day of our cruise and we are in St. Thomas.   We have been so blessed to travel a lot and enjoy places in the world that others only dream about.  St.Thomas has always been one of our favorite islands – with store owners we knew and neat places to shop for jewelry for both of us

Today however, we are not even going into town as we were just there and really don’t need or want anything!!
For years we have passed by a butterfly farm on the way into town and it is only a short walk from the port so that is where we headed first.
After the butterfly farm, we walked back to port and through the shops that had been built for the cruise ships.  Then it was back to the ship and lunch with our friends at12:30pm.
The rest of the day you probably know by now but we will tell it anyway!!
After lunch we went up onto the deck to sit out in the sun for the last time for this cruise.  Barb has really, really gotten a tan.  Ed’s tan is less in the face because of the medicine he was taken made his skin sensitive to the sun.
After the sun we came back to the cabin and started to pack and then took a nap.
After our nap, we walked around the ship looking at the shops on the ship which we had not even gone into during this cruise.
Then we went to see the show in the theater which was a good production number with the cast of the ship.
Our last dinner was fun and a little sad, but we know we will see all of our tablemates again on a future cruise as we have already made plans.  Barbara and David had asked the chef to make special bread and also two pastries for a Jewish tradition and he was planning on doing it yesterday, but didn’t have all the ingredients.  Today he sent someone to the store and he made the bread and pastries just for our table – what a treat.
After dinner of course we went to the casino where Barb won and Ed lost.  The great news is that for the cruise we were both up nicely, the weather was great and we made new friends.
We will be home tomorrow and are looking forward to spring with our families and our new puppy.
Tomorrow is San Juan and we will go to the Marriott for a few hours and then go to the airport for the plane home, arriving in Bloomington on Delta at 9:43pm.
