MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
We are in Puerto Plata today and were able to take our scooters off the ship and take a quick tour of the shops and pool at the end of the pier. Stone pavement in the shop area is very rough and we had enough shaking in the scooter that we headed back to the ship pretty quickly. It is very pretty and there are a number of bars and restaurants and a pool and lazy river for those who decide to stay off the ship for a while.
Kevin had a problem on a jet ski in Labadee yesterday and ended up in the medical facility
where they determined that he did something to his back. He will have to have CT scan when we get to St.Thomas to get a complete picture of what he did and whtatt will need to happen when he gets back home. In the meantime they gave him a shot to ease the pain are predicting that he will probably be out of work for about 8 weeks. In the meantime he is sore and currently resting in his stateroom.
Can't wait for 2023 to be over. Too many sad things over the past few weeks. Pat's medical problems, Jason's father died and then one of Kevin and Lisa's friends passed away and now Kevin's accident.
Despite all that the cruise has been quite enjoyable. Food and service have been wonderful.
Slept well last night so I feel well rested despite losing an hour overnight since we are now in the Atlantic time zone.Apparently the boundary between the Eastern and Atlantic zones divides Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Was able to watch the Pats/Broncos game from our room last night. A real thriller right to the end when the Pats kicker, who had missed a field goal and an extra point earlier, managed to win the game for them with a 56 yard FG in the closing seconds of the game. He went from
goat to hero in a matter of seconds.
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday. Take care.
