Back from Westerdam caribbean cruise
Sadly...
We had a really excellent time. My friend wanted to play with the sting rays--mostly because her daughter told her that she was too old and she had to prove her wrong. I had my reservations but it turned out to be fun. She also wanted to go to the turtle farm but I lucked out and it was too late by the time we got back to go do that. Mom spent too much time shopping at both Grand Turk and Cayman and we should have just turned her loose on her own and gone our own way. Then we all spent too much at Grand Cayman. Nice to know we are contributing to their economy. We had a really nice couple of days in Fort Lauderdale when we got back also. We took the water taxi through the canal-things and got on and off at various stops. The weather was gorgeous in Fort Lauderdale and so much was clean and nice. I really appreciated all the advice and information you folks here provide. So many places I felt pretty comfortable armed with the info from here. Anyway, I've posted my pictures. I didn't have my camera with me a lot of the time so got a bunch of some stuff and not much of other stuff that I now regret. But they'll have to do. http://chacharu.smugmug.com/gallery/...7_q5MQg#P-1-15 If it will let you do it, click on the slideshow for the best, full-sized pictures, but that seems to be a little skittish depending on your browser. I had to install the latest version of adobe's flash player to get it to run with Internet Explorer but it did fine with Firefox and won't even begin to work with Opera. cha |

LOL Great photos, thanks so much for sharing them. Becca |

I didn't bother with a lot of inside shots because I was having trouble with the flash on the camera. But I'm thinking it's a good excuse to go back. (whatever it takes) We spent a few days in Fort Lauderdale after the cruise and really enjoyed that too. Both there and on the cruise, I just kept looking around and thinking how it looked exactly like the postcards--except that this time I was in it! The weather was wonderful and everything was just beautiful. cha |

The weather was wonderful and everything was just beautiful. cha As for Fort Lauderdale, check http://sunny.org for the events calendar. I was there for the Holiday Parade of boats. It's both beautiful and very surreal. Boats from little dinghys to mega-yachts get all done up in lights. Then they parade up and down the inland waterway canals. There's a competition and each tries to outdo the other. An hour or two before sunset and people with all sorts of lawn furniture stake out a viewing place. Prize positions are across bridges. I even saw some people tailgating at an adjacent parking lot. The best part, unless you are a participant it's free. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.
