St Thomas/Grand Turk

January 23, 2014: St. Thomas
It was my port day, but no one signed up again, so I got to get off the ship. I slept in and waited for Christine and Meghna to finish their raft drill and we all went to lunch. Johan came with us and we went to town, shopped a bit and ended up at an outdoor restaurant where we got a snack (they got local beers to try) and of course, wifi. We stayed there for quite a while, then I got a bit paranoid about getting back to the ship on time, so we left (it helped that I had had a headache since I woke up this morning). I took a nap until dinner to try to get rid of the headache, and didn’t really stay out or do anything after that. I attempted to stay up and hang out with Alex and Meghna listening to music on the aft deck, but I just wasn’t into it, so after about 20 minutes, I went to bed.


January 24, 2014: Grand Turk
Again, I had most of the day off. We didn’t get to Grand Turk until 2, so I had nothing to do all morning. I had breakfast, attended the fire drill visited Christine in Club HAL, had lunch, then took a nap until we could get off. We basically just hung out on the beach, I read and sunbathed while everyone else got wifi, and we all swam around with the dog for a while. He remembers me from previous weeks, swam right to me in the water and kept swimming back and forth between me and Alex as we took turns holding him to let him rest from swimming.
I had to leave early to get back and get ready to help with Bingo, then work. Bingo was extremely busy; there were 7 of us selling the cards and we were selling for about 30 minutes. The showroom was full. I only had about 20 minutes for dinner and the lines were long so I ended up with pizza (quicker line as fewer people know or think about getting pizza for dinner). Alien Night ended up being more of a smattering of various activities. They got bored making their own aliens so they started having a dance party instead. As long as they’re entertained. It was fun though, just goofing off, choosing random songs for the three of us to dance to.
