Day 4 : Ocho Rios, Jamaica

I can't get this picture to turn. However .... this is our official getting off the ship pic. Once again too cheap to buy it .... !

Jamaica
My mom and I just off the ship in Jamaica


Shels and I

Our room is on the second deck up from the bottom. The families we were with were also on the same floor. So between our rooms is a huge cement slab thing. We are on the right of it and the other 2 families with us are on the right of it. So we had them unlock all the doors on the deck so we could walk across to each others rooms. Kind of weird at night in the middle of the ocean.
Cute little village to shop in with lots of fun stores

I call my mom Miss Animal Planet for a reason. Yes... she's feeding the duck a piece of a zone bar she has in her purse. We've concluded the duck is now probably dead b/c of the chocolate she fed it.

This is our friend the peanut guy. He was selling delicious roasted peanuts. We each got a bag hoping to save them for our movie that night but later devoured them after our work out. So delicious






The dancing girls.... click on the photo to see their great colorful outfits

Check out there chains!



Finally back on the ship... enjoying Pina Coladas... and watching movies all day! Could it get any better? My mom, Shelley, and I

As the sun was setting Jamaica was so pretty all lit up. We always timed it just right with finishing our workouts. We'd be back in the room just in time to see the sun go down. : )




We all thought it would be fun to go to the country night dance party. Turns out we got there and it was beyond lame. We ended up leaving after 20 minutes.

Good thing was they were showing the movie " Mamma Mia" at 3 different times that night on the big screen. We decided to hit the 11pm showing. This time they had covered the lounge chairs that are arranged in stadium seating with covers that read "movies under the stars". Then they had placed blankets folded nicely on the end of every chair. Servers from the ship walked around handing out popcorn to everyone. With the nice breeze from the ocean it was near perfect. Maybe the only thing that would have made it nicer would have been someone to cuddle with. : ) Maybe someday! I am obsessed with this soundtrack after seeing the movie months ago. My niece and both my nephews know the words to the whole soundtrack pretty much b/c my sister listens to it so much. Got Shelley and I both hooked. Not to mention my mother LOVES Abba. So as she tried to bail out of the late night showing on the ship we quickly convinced her it would be well worth the Late Night. She agreed whole heartedly after the show.
