Continuing on with my diary of the Caribbean Cruise---

I could not find a picture to go along with today's diary so I just put this picture of the water on because, as you know, I love putting pictures on.

Monday, February 12, 2001----We arrived at Georgetown at 11:00am. We met Diane at breakfast this morning. She is feeling OK. She found her Supercard in another pocket. She said they had a great time at the Myan Ruins. She said there was quite a bit of walking and climbing. She said Frank fell down twice. I am not into climbing anymore. I just watch that kind of stuff on TV.

Today Donna, Laif and Clayton are going on the Snorkel-Sting Ray tour. The cruise ship is anchored out some distance from the Island. The water is too shallow near the island for the cruise ship to anchor. People will be going by Tender into Georgetown. Not I. I have been watching those tenders bob up and down and how you have to jump on and off. Of course, Clayton, Donna and Laif have to get on one to go on their tour. Another nice relaxing day for me in the sun on the deck chairs.

Georgetown is the Capital of the Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman measures 76 square miles and is about 22 miles long and 8 miles wide at its broadest point. The population is approximately 32,000 people. English is the official language.

I met a lady who is 81 and her husband is 84. They are from Michigan. They have a handicapped daughter who is probably close to 60. I talked to the daughter quite awhile. Her mother has been pushing her around in a wheel chair. She says at home she has a motorized chair. She said her mother and dad own a produce store in Michigan. She said they will not retire. They both work at the store 6 days a week. She has been going on a cruise every year with her parents since she was seven.

I forgot to mention that Diane is going on the Snorkel-Sting Ray tour. Frank is going on the Grand Cayman Highlights and Turtle Farm Tour.

I said goodbye to Diane, Donna, Clayton and Laif about 11:20. I hope they all have fun. Can hardly wait to put on my swimsuit and lay in the deck chair. I sound like I am going to miss them terribly, don't I?

Everyone got back safe and sound from their tours. They all said they had lots of fun.

Right after dinner, I was so tired that I didn't even go to the show.
