We are boarding the Celebrity Silhouette on Monday for 10 night Caribbean sailing. St Marten, St Lucia, Grenada, Tobago, Antigua.
Tobago is a new port for us. We booked this a year ago.
Some CC friends are also on this sailing.

The Silhouette is my all time favorite cruise ship.

All good, thank you!  My cholesterol went down, and all blood work was better than last time.  My PA told me to keep up whatever it is that I'm doing😉

Great

Went out this morning to head over to the local Lands' End store.   Trying to find shorts in Michigan in November is pretty much impossible.  I need some new shorts for our January cruise, and I ended up finding some on clearance on the Lands' End website.  If you order at the store, there are no shipping charges.  

 

I don't think there are any Lands End stores in UK but I buy on line quite a few things. Love their 'no tug' swimsuits and matching cover ups

Yesterday was our normal weekly grandson childcare day. 

Started off with music class, which our other grandson and his mum goes to too. Great fun.

Absolutely pouring with rain so our normal park visit didn't happen.  Later in the afternoon 

we had a walk in the woods  'going on a bear hunt'.

Lots of mud and puddles to splash through

Lovely day

Also this month, 1 year since the passing of DW.   Oddly, both simultaneously seem so distant time-wise and yet so recent.

That sounds like a really excellent itinerary. Antigua & St. Lucia was our honeymoon spot, 6 days each, 30 years ago this month. Also this month, 1 year since the passing of DW.   Oddly, both simultaneously seem so distant time-wise and yet so recent.

 

Do you have any excursions planned for either island?

Hugs to you HB. Please be strong. She is looking after you.
I will think about you in Antigua and St Lucia, and say a prayer.

 

Excursions: Catamaran cruise to the Pitons (St Lucia), Small group homestead cooking in Grenada and Beach, Pigeon Point Beach in Tobago. Through Celebrity. The other ports will just go on our own.

Our local Kohls has a Lands End Section. Quite a collection of swimsuits.

Or skipping cruising altogether. I think Royal is going after the younger family crowd who is willing to spend for both the cruise and all the extras.  Most here I think are on the older side and don't want or need all that. 

 

We have a short Celebrity cruise booked in January, got a great resident rate, that we will sandwich with land stops.  Other than that have Bella2 booked and not even looking at any more, looking at land based trips instead.  Value of cruising just not there for us right now, definitely not on Royal.
