 Tuesday – Dec 25- At Sea

We will work on our sun tan which has faded.

       Wednesday – Dec 26– Falmouth, Jamaica– 9am – 6pm

      The kids will be picked up at the port and taken to Dunn’s River Falls for a climb to the top of the falls.  Ed and Barb are going rafting on the Martha Brae as they have climbed the falls before.

      We have hired a private boat to take us all snorkeling and to swim with the Stingrays – it should be great fun.
