Day 9



Main Street - notice the ships in the background

 Well yesterday we made the mistake of staying in bed too long, just because we were in the casino late. We stayed late last night but got up at 8:00 to get out early in Antigua.

We were really impressed with the island – it is very clean and nice.

This was the first island that Barb found a really wonderful clothing shop and she bought a new dress.

After shopping, we headed for what turned out to be the best beach that we have been to so far. We stayed on the beach right next to the Sandals resort and snuck in and walked around it. It was a typical Sandals and we finally left the beach at 2pm. This sun is so hot that we can only spend 2 – 3 hours in the direct sun on the beach.

The casino - no we didn't gamble there!!

The ship departed at 6 for St. Kitts and we had a fun dinner, a magic show and then the casino.

Ed won the Blackjack with another ship’s trophy and $500!!!! That’s two for two on this cruise. Ed tied another player at the end of the regular play and there was a three hand playoff. On the last hand, the other player made a betting mistake and bet too many chips – and Ed won.

Again it is tomorrow so we will leave you and wake up in St. Kitts for our last full day on the cruise.
