Tortola

Today is our first port day! We've never been to Tortola and plan to walk around the town… we haven't booked any excursions this trip as I wasn't really sure how I would feel, but I am feeling great… well, as great as one could feel having had less than 6 hours of sleep every night.

At home I generally have a cannabis cookie at bedtime which helps tremendously with sleep, and as I am reminded constantly through the night, reduces hot flashes to a minimum. Unfortunately they have been wicked, waking me up several times a night. It sucks!




Last night was the first formal night so I trotted out in my coral sequin dress! It's a head turner - not for the shy. I got lots of compliments. It's a dress that wears me, I don't wear it!

We ate again with Sonia and Perry 🙂. She had me in tears with her story about her Jewish parents during the 2nd world war… but we also had fun with other, less emotional topics.

After the production show in the theatre we enjoyed some music and dancing in the piazza 😍. Again, we thought about our distant dance lessons that we have totally forgotten!

I can already feel my clothes getting tighter!





Mid afternoon… We walked around the town for a bit but it was a bust! Not much to see and very hot so we weren't disappointed to head back to the ship for a virtual sea day!

The pool wasn't busy and we eventually scored some chairs in the shade… a few hours later… and a few margaritas later, I headed back to our room for a rest, leaving Carm behind to socialize to his heart's content!

Tonight we are eating at the Crown Grill, the specialty steak house. I'm wearing my purple sausage dress which isn't as sausagy anymore but might be in a few days!


Awesome!
