GRENADA – GRAND ANSE BEACH (MELANSON’S DID A TOUR)

On the water taxi going back to the ship.
Abadon wanted in on the pictures

Alexander Keith met up with a couple of locals.


Even Linda got in on the act.



Abadon showing us the sea eggs.




I wrestled a baracouda with my bare hands. You should have seen the teeth on that thing.

Linda made me jump out of the water so those ninny's on shore could take our picture.

Going over to Grand Anse beach in the water taxi.

Two Princess ships in port today!

Waiting for the elevator... going down


We were all up by 7am even though we could sleep in because we didn't arrive in Grenada until noon!! Kevin & David were up earlier and having their breakfast beer. After breakfast girls went for coffee at the international cafe and then shopping. Big sale on.... BIG Sale. Once we docked at noon we joined in the cattle line to get off the ship. Smith's and March's were going to the beach for the day and Melansons were doing an Island tour with Mandoo.


We got to the water taxi right away and darn.... they had a dock. No big events getting Linda locked and loaded and unloaded again – another dock. What's up with that. They should have known we would need pictures for the blog. We rented our beach chairs and umbrella and got settled in. The water, the beach, the temperature (over 38* again) were perfect. Met up with an 11 year old boy Abadon (sp?) and an older gentleman named Seppy. They were a couple of locals that were explaining thing in the water to us. We had a great time.


Roger and Arlene said they had a wonderful day too. I will not be able to post any pics of them as they have them all in their camera.


Linda is gone to bed but the rest of them are up at movies under the stars going to watch Sherlock Holmes. Starts at 10:30 if they're not all asleep up there in the chairs waiting for it to start.












Tomorrow is Dominica and we have a great day planned. Can't wait to see Kevin & David in the mud baths..... should be good for a laugh.

    Grandma and Grandpa (Arlene/Roger) can't wait to see your pictures when you get back. Also, mom wanted me to say "BOY DO WE HAVE SOME STORIES FOR YOU, when you get home!! haha". That's all I am allowed to say.

  3. Love the pictures from today!!! You all look great!

    Had a good day here - big news today is that Maxwell got his report card. EXCELLENT!!! He got all A's and B's (or as he says..."mostly A's") - as you can imagine he was as proud as can be! Jacki, Jason & Dexter were over tonight to look after everyone (I was at work).

    Nice temps...you should feel better knowing that I ran into SNOW tonight on my way home from work!!! YUCK!!!

    Updates from the week:
    * Aidan (soap guy) got the boot from Dancing with the Stars

    * Katie (the young girl) got the boot from Idol

    * Courtney got the boot from Srvivor (if anyone watches it).

    * Perhaps most importantly for Dad (although DWTS would be close) is the Montreal game tonight...they WON (in overtime) 3-2!!!! Go Habs Go!

    That's all for now.

    Have a great day tomorrow!

    Miss you & Love you!
