Carribean vacation #2

Today we had our first day at sea. A very quiet day on the ocean and I swear we are crawling along, the birds are flying faster. Right now, we are 30miles off the coast of Venezuela. Curacao(pronounced cur-a-so) is our stop for tomorrow. The weather hasn't been fabulous and in Grenada it poured with rain in the morning, but come on, it's the kind of rain you still where your tank top and swim suit in. We opted for a child free day yesterday. The kids club has had it's hit and miss days and yesterday was a hit. We dropped them off at 10 am and proceeded ashore. A water taxi to a small yet 'serviced' beach was only $5 each. We spent the day snorkeling, drinking beer, fending off beach merchants and testing out the local food. It was the best $20 we've ever spent. Grenada is very different from other Antilles islands as it is less developed and the list of excursions is 5 compared to 45 at Barbados.
Tonight is formal night and we are off to the restaurant to have the lobster and baked Alaska. The shows on board are amazing and the kids are having a great time attending dinners and shows.
I think that's all for now. We are in Aruba day after tomorrow and I will blog after that. Must run now and get ready for dinner....YUM!!
