Tropical Island Girl
Isabelle has just been on a Caribbean Adventure with her friend Barbara....
Our adventure began by flying out from Manchester to Chicago, then Chicago to San Juan in Puerto Rico. We had a night here before boarding the Royal Caribbean ship Adventure of the Seas.
Our itinerary was:
Day One, January 9th; Welcome aboard, lunch and embarkation, sail away.
Day Two, January 10th; At sea, captain's welcome reception and first formal evening.
Day Three, January 11th; Bridgetown Barbados. Carlise Beach, showtime before dinner
Day Four, January 12th; St Luci. Shop till you drop girlfriend!! Cool Art, Hot Ice show (ice rink) and casual dining
Day Five, January 13th; Antigua, it has 366 beaches - we chose Dickinson Beach on an organised trip, formal dinner this evening
Day Six, January 14th; Philippsburg, the capital of St Maarten. Shop till you drop again - wow this place was blingtastic!
Day Seven, January 15th; St Croix, largest of the US Virgin Islands. Beach day with the 'gang'. Casual dining then karaoke final - Angie blew them away! Last goodbyes to all our new friends...
We had a last day and night in San Juan, an opportunity to catch some more sunshine by the pool. We also managed a quick foray to Old San Juan for some carnival action.
Blog update to come with more details but for now here's a slideshow.

Winter Schminter...
Well, Andrew is suffering seasonal adjusted disorder (SAD)! He's just not happy at all in winter and I think we are both dreaming of warmer weather and the start of the caravanning season.
Thoughts of longer days full of walking and fishing are occupying our minds just now and we've got all kinds of plans for various trips and adventures.
