2009 Caribbean Trip - Day 2 - St. Lucia
These will be long posts as I’m using them as a “diary” of our trip. Check back in a couple of weeks if you want to see the photos that go with the posts as I forgot my camera cable so that I could download the photos.

We woke up the next day at 10:30am when our continental breakfast was delivered to our room. Kyle and I ate that while Ian went up to the “Mediterranean” dining room to have a buffet breakfast. I then got Kyle and myself cleaned up and dressed and when Ian got back we headed off of the ship.
Ian’s parents and brothers had already left the ship, ad we didn’t really know what there as to do on the island. We decided to rent a taxi and go to a nearby beach. Of course I hadn’t brought along a bathing suit for Kyle or I, so we just stripped him down to his shirt and diaper and he and Ian played in the water for a while. Another family enjoying the beach offered up their pair of water wings and donut-raft for us to use while they went to go grab a bite to eat at the restaurant on the beach. After the swim we changed Kyle's diaper, put hs shorts back on, and I took of one of my tank tops (I was wearing two) and we put it on Kyle. He looked like he was wearing a tank dress!
We had asked the taxi that had dropped us off to pick us up at 2:30pm, so at around 2:15pm, after unsuccessfully trying to grab a snack from the restaurant ourselves, we headed to our pick-up spot. We went back to the ship, grabbed a buffet lunch in the “Mediterranean” dining room and then I put Kyle down for his nap. When Kyle woke up it was time for dinner again. This was supposed to be a formal dining night so we met up with Ian’s parents and brothers in the “Mediterranean” dining room for a buffet dinner instead. After killing some time we headed to the theater for the early show (8:45pm Caribbean time). It was a variety show with dancing and singing that Kyle really enjoyed. Then it was back to the room to order Kyle’s “dinner” from room service. I went to the “Mediterranean” dining room for some ice cream while Ian out Kyle to bed.
