O.k. so I had a little bit more time to send you some more pics. Above is the picture of the rapids we went down in Dominica for River Tubbing and the other two are Stingray City. It was so damn cool to have the stingrays swim all over you!

Prayers for the Star Princess
Hello Guys,
Well I have already contacted Mum and Dad to give them the news that I am o.k. (as good old CNN did not announce WHICH Princess Ship) But I would like to ask the rest of you for some help. Three days ago, our sister ship the Star Princess (the ship I was supposed to join before I picked the Sea Princess) caught on fire. It has been all over the news (CNN) and we've only had very limited information and no news from our friends onboard until now. Three decks worth of cabins have been burnt, 11 injured passengers and 1 died of a heart attack. The crew kept passengers in their muster stations (emergency rooms) for 7 hours while the fire continued to burn and the fire fighting team faught to put it out. After that the crew worked for 20 hours straight to try and fix damage and assist passengers wherever they could. They are currently in dry dock to try and repair what is possible and to see if the Star can continue the rest of the season.
This is obviously a big awakening to all on ships as this could have happened to any of us, I am counting my lucky stars that I did not go to that ship, that I chose the Sea (thank you Susan). So guys...if I can please have you all say a prayer or if you don't pray just have in your thoughts my friends on the Star Princess who have not only come out alive, but saved passenger's lives and just avoided "Abandon Ship" by pure luck, I know they would appreciate it.
Lets all be thankful for our blessings and remember how precious life really is.
Sorry to be so preachy but I just find this really hard to grasp.
Love you all

St. Vincent
Spent the day lounging on the Beach in St. Vincent. It was a local beach so we didn't have to deal with passengers we just swam in the ocean and layed in the sun. I love the locals of these Islands, so cool and free. I mean they come along and chat with you, not because its polite but because they actually have something to say, they actually want to meet you. Hope everyone is doing well!

Playing Like a Child
In St. Kitts our ship Football team arranged to play against the St. Kitts semi-pro team. When we arrived at the field we found the school children playing and they LOVED us! They all wanted pictures taken and wanted to have all the attention. It was so much fun, i'm sure my Dad would have been in heaven.
