<\/a><\/p>\nDay 2 – Ship day. \u00a0Relaxing…more of the above.<\/p>\n
Day 3 – Antigua – We booked a shore excursion and went\u00a0kayaking and then boarded a boat to go to bird island to snorkel. \u00a0This excursion was too structured for us. \u00a0The\u00a0guides required that we stay with them while kayaking and then when we were snorkeling they instructed those who had no experience stay by the boat and those with experience stay with the guide. \u00a0We like being able to explore on our own. \u00a0I saw my first squid while snorkeling!<\/p>\n
Day 4 – Barbados – Boarded a Submarine and explored the depths of the sea… a coral reef and a ship wreck. \u00a0We got down to 142 feet below the surface. \u00a0What a great trip! \u00a0Next time I want to go scuba diving with Jared. \u00a0I just need to get him certified.<\/p>\n Day 5 – St Lucia – We booked a tour when we got off the ship which can be risky, but we had a great time. \u00a0We took a catamaran around the island to Soufriere (french for Sulfur Air), boarded a taxi and drove through the active crater of a volcano and then to a waterfall and back to the catamaran. \u00a0We stopped by a beach and were able to get out and swim. \u00a0As soon as we dropped anchor some of the island natives came up on kayaks to sell conch shells and other items. \u00a0I have always wanted a large conch shell to display on a shelf so we purchased one and then went for a nice swim. \u00a0It was a great tour!<\/p>\n Day 6 – St Kitts – We found a local taxi driver\/tour guide in the port and had him take us around the island. \u00a0He took us through town and showed us many of the old churches and buildings and told us of the history of the island. \u00a0He took us by some ancient petroglyphs, one supposedly helped with fertility so we got out of the taxi so that we could touch it and take advantage of it’s “power”. \u00a0\ud83d\ude09 \u00a0We drove through a rain forest, toured the location where they manufacture Batik fabrics. \u00a0We then drove up a hill where we could view both the caribbean sea and the Atlantic sea.<\/p>\n Day 7- St Thomas – It was Sunday so we went to sacrament meeting with Mom, Dad, Elise and Kyle. \u00a0It was an expensive trip as the taxi driver charged us $8.00 per person to take us. \u00a0We found the local bus to get a ride back to the ship. \u00a0It should have cost $2.00 per person but the driver went off his route to take us back and then charged us $5.00 per person. \u00a0After we got back, Jared and I grabbed our snorkel gear and took a taxi to a beach with a great reef and spent the afternoon swimming with the fish.<\/p>\n Day 8 -Bahamas. \u00a0Spent the day enjoying the white sand, blue ocean, snorkeling, and the sun.<\/p>\n Day 9 – Ship Day and Formal Dinner and enjoying our last second course of dessert, chocolate obsession. \u00a0YUMM!!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
