Another late night, but not quite an early morning. Both desiree and I decided to sleep in as we would be reaching port at St Maarten at 8. We got things together and me up with mom and mike for sit-down breakfast and then to town to explore the island. We took a water taxi and bought round trip tickets back and forth. This way we could have unlimited trips.
This island was mug cleaner and what Desiree expected- nice like Park Ave. Again, the girls wanted jewelry so mike and I came up with a plan. We both took a shop guide and reconned with shops had free jewelry and marked it down in the guide to be more efficient.
We headed back together for lunch on the ship and decided to do sit-down to-order lunch instead of the buffet lunch. Much more enjoyable and less hustle and bustle. After lunch, mom and mike stayed and Desiree and I headed back to land to enjoy the beach. The water cool and nice, relaxing and refreshing. I taught Desiree how to breathe for swimming. She got the rhythm down very quickly. We walked around the shops again, revisited one of the liquor shops and bought a few bottles and had them delivered to the ship. Afterwards we ventured to the older part of town and shops. Here we saw school kids, older shop, and Desiree found a wedding boutique. She wanted to find a silly hat. I quickly glanced in and was like "umm...not so much. Remember that episode of Bethany Ever After where their daughter gets baptized..?" Desiree responded with excitement "I can't believe you quoted the show." We headed back to the ship to relax before meeting mom and mike for dinner and then casino for the rest of the evening.
Next two days at sea before returning to Port Canviral on Saturday AM.
