Jan 6 Afternoon and Formal Night

-

 Looking back at the wake of the ship
  

Sat out by the pool on the Lido deck.  The Lido bar isn't that big but the bartender made two great drinks. A Caipirinha and Ultimate Pina Colada
  

We went to the Afternoon Tea for a light snack and some music before we had to get ready for formal night.

 

We were still along the Cuban coast and would soon be turning south between Cuba and Haiti


As we walked to dinner, we watched them preparing for the Champaign waterfall.

 

At dinner, we both got the Crab Cake appetizer. I think we are spoiled with Maryland Crabcakes.


Toni had the beef tenderloin and Rob never turns down Gnocchi

 

After dinner we watched the champaign waterfall at the Captain's Welcome. We got to do it too.

  

The Island Princess' Senior staff was introduced and then the Captain talked


We couldn't let the night end there, it was onto the theatre.


The show was called On the Bayou. Lots of good music and dancing.

  




We were now turning between Cuba and Haiti and heading south. Tomorrow, another sea day before Sunday in Cartagena, Columbia

Day 31 American Samoa

American Samoa  Pago Pago Bay is one of the most dramatic harbors in the South Pacific, a region known for dramatic landscapes. Eons ago, the massive seaward wall of a volcano collapsed and the sea poured in. Today, dramatic mountain peaks encircle the deep harbor. The capital of American Samoa, Pago Pago is more village than city. The town is dominated by looming Mt. Pioa, whose summit draws moisture-bearing clouds, earning it the nickname of "The Rainmaker." Indeed, Pago Pago draws more than its fair share of rain - the island of Tutuila is a vision of deep, verdant green. Pronounced "Pango Pango," this island paradise awaits exploration. American Samoa is a US Territory and its citizens are US Nationals, not US Citizens. Home to the only US National Park in the Southern Hemisphere (below the equator). Far out view showing many islands in the area American Samoa and Samoa are two different sets of islands. American Samoa is on one side of the International Datelin

Note on ability to Comment

-
 Hi all, I just went through the blogger settings and changed it to anyone can comment.  It had defaulted to only those who had and were signed into their google account. I know have made it that anyone can comment.  Please add you name if you do comment so we know who is commenting.  We hope you are enjoying this as much as we are.   Also, if you have younger children, they might like https://braydenflatstan.blogspot.com/  Toni's cousin's grandson (the genealogy person in me will say 1st cousin, twice removed) gave us a flat Stanley (with a backup incase we dropped him into the ocean!!) on the day we left. We had no idea what it was but are having fun with it and do a blog with pictures of him and hopefully writing things a little more educational for the young ones!  I have both linked to each other.
