We are on our 5th day at sea and I am beginning to feel that sadness you feel when you know your vacation is coming to an end. But I still have some time. We are nearing the Caribbean and will be in St Maarten tomorrow. We have been there before and love the island. We will go to Dawn Beach for most of the day.

We are having combination stone massage, foot massage and scalp massage, so we head for the rooms to take a shower. An hour later we meet up in the relaxation room after our treatments: it was heavenly. Annie's back has been hurting, so the massage helped a lot. We next went to a makeup seminar (still in our robes); It basically consisted ... read more
