Come to the Ritz! You two can pay over $700 per night to sit on top of the person in the lounge chair next to you! See our friendly sales agent in our booth!

We decided to head to Hell since there were no cruise ships on Saturday. The Little Dude got a real kick out of getting to say “Hell!” “Hey Uncle Mike, are you going to Hell with us?”
“Hey Bubba, can I ride to Hell with you?”

Loved your report and pictures……did you stay at Plantana last year and did I ask you if you ran in a 90+ year old woman name Nita from Victoria Canada. She used to swim everyday in the ocean.
You all looked like you had a great time-loved your comparison between the Ritz beach and your beach. We’re right with you on that.
That glassbottom boat from the Ritz is wild isn’t it? We saw it a year ago when they first got it gassing up at Kaibo-I believe they said it was made in Russia.
Shelly ?

Shelly…we looked for Nita again but she was not there. We’ve stayed at Plantana for the past five years. I have a lot more to go but I had to put Debbie back in the hospital this afternoon. She had pericarditis about two weeks before we left and it looks like it returned. They are running some tests and hopefully she’ll be back out in a couple of days. I’m going to add some more tonight but may not get back to it for awhile. We took over 500 pictures this trip plus 4GB of video.

We went to Macabuca after our trip to Hell. It was the first visit we have made there. It was very interesting and about 10 snorkelers came out of the water while we were there.

Bubba and I went to the Royal Palms for a beer and a chance to get on the CAG website! We also drove to Britannia to book a tee time and saw a few fella’s hanging around to get a loop!

We went back to get everyone for a trip to the Blow Holes and Kaibo and I stopped to get this picture in the Plantana parking lot. It’s funny how the little things attract your eye when you don’t have a care in the world!

We all agreed that the most fun you can have for free is a visit to the Blowholes! This was the first time in five visits that they were really “blowing!”

A rare Sunday ship. One from Club Med with only about 390 on board! What a great looking ship!
