Sunny and hot, hot, hot

Warm and sunny day at last! Everyone onboard rejoiced and formed a long conga line to get off the (line, yes. Conga, no) We were just one of six ships docking in town today. The huge Oasis of the Seas was also here – so maybe it should count as two ships instead of just one. It holds 6,000 cruisers plus the staff. Walking down the pier was like being in Manhattan but instead of skyscrapers blocking out the sun, there were huge ships towering over us. We had the choice of going to the French clothing-optional beach or going to the Dutch side and shopping. In a unanimous decision, we went shopping. Actually, it was more of scavenger hunting for the freebie gifts that the stores giveout to lure gullible shoppers into their lairs. We left Kelly alone in her wheelchair on the street for 30 seconds and when we returned, a woman was wrapping jewelry around her arm, in hopes of making a quick sale. Apparently other families did decide to go to the clothing optional beach because we overhead the “Jersey Shore” family at the next dinner table talking about how unattractive everyone was on the beach. Everyone on the ship had all been warned that drugs are very common and people might approach us. Apparently we are just too old because no one approached us with that commodity. Tomorrow we have vowed we will not go in any stores. We go to St. John’s to visit the national park
