Wonderful leisurely day at the resort today. We did a few presents in the morning that I had brought along. DD (dear daughter) started cooking turkey dinner, then we went down the beach and did a holiday photo. DGS (dear grandson) and I did some snorkeling -- it's fairly rocky along this part of the beach, so there are a quite a few different kinds of fish about.
Had lunch and relaxed, then DGS and I went down to the pool while DD continued working on the conch shell project. They are pretty heavy, not sure how many we’ll be able to take home. I brought a pool float that is kind of like a chair with a cup holder very comfy and fun for floating about. DGS played a while with a couple of other boys who are here from Chicago.
After dinner (turkey, stuffing , instant mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans), we took a walk along the beach toward the south past some other larger condo and timeshare developments. Around a small rocky point we could see part
of the Georgetown area. Not sure if it would be a good spot to try to watch New Year’s Eve fireworks, which I understand happen near The Wharf restaurant. We could see quite a few fireworks way off in the distance tonight about 6:30 - 7:00 p.m., mostly to the north. NYE we’ll most likely be in bed long before Midnight anyway. We’ve been getting up fairly early in the morning.
A few more people have checked into the resort now, so I guess this coming week will be busier than the days before Christmas. We have two days with no large cruise ships in port, but most shops and businesses are closed today, and some will also be closed tomorrow for Boxing Day.
Altogether a totally relaxing, warm pleasant day in the Caribbean!
