LIVE MLK cruise on Freedom to Amber Cove & Grand Turk w/ ninjacat123 and family!!

[ninjacat123]

I searched through my bags for my selfie stick  Found it in our beach bag!  Like I said on the Pride Italy LIVE review, a selfie stick is a gamechanger.  Not that expensive, portable and once you get the hang of it, easy to use. Here is a pic of it not extended, with it extended and some pics from our Italy trip that really shows off how helpful it is.

My mom will be taking care of the beasties here at home while we are gone. I know they are happier with Gma as zookeeper ❣️

But you guys look so good in selfies - some of us, well me, not so much!

The angle that the selfie is taken makes a big difference.  The selfie stick when angled up takes the pic from above which reduces shadows on the face since you are looking up at the camera.  I find it also reduces the appearance of "chin fat" probably because you are looking up at the camera as well.  I have short T-rex arms🤣which need the extra length for a selfie.  🦖😸

Right now weather.com says Sunday will be sunny with clouds, high of 65.  Embarkation on Monday looks okay. I’m bringing a jacket for Rikki Tiki👍

 

Bring your winter clothes, I'm freezing here! 🤣 But I'm here for the party!  🥳

GT we took a cab to Barbies, our favorite restaurant (hole in the wall) across the Island. AC we went to Monkeyland for the 2nd time.  Very cool if you don't mind a bunch of squirrel monkeys crawling on you!

Don't you wish you'd been the one to patent that stick? You'd be on a permanent cruise!! Or own the squirrel monkey resort!!

Barbies is across the street from the beach.  Google Monkeyland Puerto plata.  It's pretty darn entertaining. 

On a side note, what part of SC are you from?  We have a house and land in Bamberg County. Was just up there last weekend!

We live in Tega Cay about 20 miles south of Charlotte. Great place to raise my girls!

You are closer to the beach! I hope we can retire at the beach. Or on a cruise ship🤣

What does MLK stand for?

Martin Luther King. This year January 15 is MLK day and my DH gets off work and my DD doesn’t have school because it’s a federal holiday, I believe.

Here in SC today is one of those weather days that makes one want to pull up the covers and sleep.  Gray, rainy and windy.  Did I mention possible tornados?🌪️School has been shifted to online.  But I braved it for my manicure!  Hah!!

Love that color!!

All caught up and ready to sail with you @ninjacat123. I’m actually flying down to DFW tomorrow night with my teen for a short weekend with my brother over MLK, but unfortunately we have to return Monday to resume college classes rather than visiting exotic locales via luxury moving transport vessels.  Enjoy and thanks for bringing us along.
