Open Seas

Today was a day at open sea. Our boat is taking us all the way down to Bridgetown, Barbados and as you can tell from this handy little map I "borrowed" from the Celebrity website, it's a LONG way from San Juan!
Anyway, what do you do at a day at sea? Well, you explore. For all you folk who have never cruised before, these boats are huge. It seemed like we walked and walked and then all of a sudden after we thought we'd seen it all ... BAM ... we stumble into a casino or a new little lounge with live music. We found a spot in the shade and sat out on the deck by the swimming pool for a while, we pigged out on the buffet with their endless selections and we made friends with all the Filipino workers because Ryan's Philippine shirt was attracting them like moths to the only light in a room.

In the evening we got dressed up and made our way down for dinner. Each night we eat at 6pm with the same people and we have to at least dress smart casual if not formal. It's like date night every single night! It has been a looooong time since I have sat through a meal without hearing the word "mama" and drawing straws along with the kids to get to see who gets to sit beside daddy. Well guess what kiddo's!? I get to sit beside daddy all week long.
