JUST THE BEGINNING

Made it to Austin last night despite a major wreck and IH 35........Luby's across from our motel, so that is where we ate. No turkey and dressing, but food was good. Flying out this morning, going east, but staying in the south.........So this Thanksgiving will for sure be different, but kinda what we were looking for since there have been so many changes in family this last year. 

Stayed tuned for the next chapter......

NASSAU

 Last night the show was a tribute to the Beatles and these are the glow sticks they gave us to wave.This is Atlantis Resort. Yes the one you see on TV. 171 acres and think we walked 50 of it.

 Got my bracelet. Let's go......
 Tunnel of fish.
 Lobster for dinner......
 Fish - Fish - Fish
 One of many beaches
 The bridge is named the Michael Jackson room as that is where he slept.....
This guy needs a dentist.......

We arrive back in Fort Lauderdale in the morning and then we fly to Austin. Home either Sunday night or Monday morning.......see how tired we are.

Hope you have enjoyed our adventure and so until later.........

ALTON "Mac" MCKINNEY

Lost a special family member on Friday, May 24th as Mac passed from this life. He was married to Monte's Mom for over 16 years. He will be missed by us all.........

DAY OF NOTHING

Below are some posts of our day in Tortola. We had a good time, just tired.

Our show last night was Marcus Anthony in "The King of That Sweet Soul Music". He could not only do Motown, he could do any kind of music. He did a little country and even Elvis.

This is out last day at sea and the trip is almost over - but that's okay, I am already planning the next one.
This is what we see every day and love it.
We do have one more adventure before getting back to Florida, so check back......

LEAVING TORTOLA

 Bathroom signs here are a hoot. The bottom one is a portable potty.

 This is what greeted us when we arrived back to the ship. Everybody got back at once, so a line it was.
As we left we saw this face in the mountain, so Tortola, until later.....

CANE GARDEN BAY

 Took us to a beach area with refreshments and you know Monte, he can always find the ice cream. We also had a free rum punch. Don't worry , they don't put in much rum......
 This bag is smaller than what we pay $2.50 for in the states.
Starting today was a 3 day musical festival and they were revving up the sound system. LOUD
Not a very large area, so don't know where all the people sit or stand to listen. Maybe float in boats.

TORTOLA #2

Speed bumps - we went over quite a few! Speed limit is 20-25, but the driving limit is 55-75. A couple of close calls......
 One of the beaches they took us to, but guess what all the signs said - do not go in the water......oh well, did not bring our suits.....
 Oh look, I did come on the trip.....St. Thomas, St. John and Antigua in the back ground. Sorry Monte did not get my new socks in the pic......
At the top looking down on our ship...........more to come
