St. Thomas – today we were up early and off to the beach. We went to Emerald Beach just a short distance by cab from the pier. Another glorious day at a beautiful beach. David is still shaking his head about last night. He is convinced that everyone was standing in front of him and he wanted to stand up and yell to them to sit down. We told him there was absolutely no one standing in front of him. He still swears there was. He doesn’t know why he couldn’t stop laughing or what he was laughing about. Arlene said the hypnotist said that once everyone was under when he counted to 3 they would awake and they just heard the funniest joke they had ever heard. As time goes on the joke will get funnier and funnier. That is why he was laughing.
I think the doubting Thomas’ – Kevin and David, know now that it is not just a staged act as they thought in the past. In fact we suggested to David that we go so he could actually see the show tonight and he said “no way”.
Last night before supper we were playing music and singing and dancing on our patio’s. Had a great time. Our side of the ship was clapping and having a great time. Maritime deck party. A lot of the people around us are Canadian’s as well.
The ship is really rocking and rolling tonight. Possibility of some cookies being tossed tonight.
Kim – your parents put down a deposit on a future cruise.
It is 7:38 and we are all ready for bed I think. This getting up everyday at 6:00am is starting to catch up with us all.
Tomorrow is a sea day so we are going to veg by the pool.

I am going to try and upload the video of us taking David to the Hypnotist after the show to get him un-done.
























































David just before he was hypnotized between Roger and Linda.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT

We went to the hypnotist show. He does a little test with the audience and both Linda and David passed. We tried to convince one of them to go up and volunteer but they wouldn't. The guy got his volunteers and the show begun. He has a series of things he does to get them under. I looked at David and he was doing them. I told Linda he is going under and she said "NO". Next thing he starts laughing - hysterically - and can't stop. We were way at the back and they HYP could not see us. There was another lady in the audience that he saw was laughing uncontrollable and he went to her and told her to shout out when he said something. David did stop laughing but then he just sat there as if in a trance. We watched the show and he still just sat there. When it was over Linda said I think we should take David to him to make sure that he is out of it. I said we will see when we get outside the Theatre as he told all them when they got outside they would start laughing. Sure enough when we got outside he went into hysterics again. Kept telling us he doesn't know why he is laughing - crying laughing. We took him to the hypnotist and he said why didn't we let him know during the show. He put David in front of him - crowd of peps around - David say to him "Boy your some funny looking" (The guy was extremely handsome). David turns around and looks at the crowd and says to him again - your some funny looking - and laughs and laughs. Anyway he took David out of the trance. Arlene has some video.

I am wetting myself laughing just thinking about it. anyway mmore tomorrow. Nite.

St. Thomas tomorrow.

ANTIGUA WAS GREAT....

Arlene is letting this man rub aloe vera all over her and then he wanted $15. She would only give him $5 so he wanted her bottle of water that was half gone.




David trying to grow a mohawk.










































We took a public bus to the beach. Had to walk about a half mile to the bus depot. It was not hard to do - guys found the cooler full of beer, backpacks, snorkel gear and stuff a little heavy. Not to mention trying to get it all onto the bus along with all the locals.
Great day though. Bus trip coming back was alot more fun. Cooler was empty and everyone seemed happier. We invited some of the locals to come to NS and we would teach them to make snowmen.








ANTIGUA IS CLOUDY AND OMG.... WE HAD A HAIL STORM.

So when you are given lemons.. you make lemonade. So we sent Kevin and David to gather the hail stones and we were able to keep our beer cold.
