We can now say that we have been to Jamaica.
While we enjoyed it, I'm not sure I want to come back. That makes it sound much worse than it was. It was fun, and we both had several new experiences--most good or great!
The bulk of the day was taken up with our Dolphin Swim and the climb of Dunn's River Falls. That's right, Angela and I (along three 300 of our closest friends) meandered up a multi-level 967 foot waterfall.
We got a couple of great photos of Angela and I kissing or being kissed by our Dolphin, Sally. We had a fun time being part of what Angela called 'the interactive SeaWorld Show.' We then promptly changed into our dry closes for the next adventure. As we sat on the bus, we thought how rude those folks were sitting on the van seats with there bathing suits. Oh, they weren't rude, they were smart.
At Dolphin Cove, we strapped on life vests and got completely in the water with the Dolphins, and we were no wetter than we were when we finished the voyage to the top of the falls. We had a fun guide, and Angela made new friends who kept her from being swept over the side...foiling my plans. On the photo page, you can can see me in the very SEXY green "sticky feet" shoes we rented (ours weren't good enough) for the event.
After a quick trip back to the ship to put on dry clothes and a quick bit of lunch we walked over to the shops for some souvenirs and just to 'poke around'. That 3 or 4 minute walk was one of the most interesting walks of my life. It seems very person on that island has some handy-craft skill and just wants you to hold it for a minute and then give them a donation in return for the gift of their trade. "Come'on help a Jamaican out, mon."
Frankly, a nap was required, and taken. But we did wake up for "Movies Under the Stars." The staff make it a real event. They positioned all the deck chairs in view of the jumbo-tron, put special covers on the lounge pillows, passed out popcorn and all. So there I sat under the open, star-filled sky, while swaying on a boat in the middle of the Caribbean Ocean, charging toward the Cayman Islands, and watching the Bourne Ultimatum in larger than life size. All while a little man (literally little) brought me more popcorn and coke. I could get used to living like that.
