St. John, Anguila

Getting the tail end of Hurricane Tomas - intermitent rain with strong winds - we did a tour of the island on Segways - there were 9 passengers who were able to be disconnected from their oxygen and feeding tubes to take this excursion.  We had a balll - it rained hard at times but we had fun - toured historical sights and the beaches - they did not let us drink alcohol at our beverage stops but we made up for it when we got back to the ship -we are having a great time but Anthony is concerned about Nikki and I am anxious about work.

I saw this sign on a street here - they obviously have a problem with this type of activity in Anguila!

A number of ships have had to change their itinerary because of the hurricane so there are two additional ships in port that got diverted from St. Lucia.  Rick and Jill are therecruise now headed there - I wonder where they will wind up.  We have made friends with Nigel - his family has lived in Barbados since the early 1700's and knows all the islands well - he is our personal travel guide for this trip and little does he know for every trip to the Carribean in the future!

  2. I probably would have fell on my butt on the Segway! You know the second week of vacation is when you are supposed to be your most relaxed the first week you are still tense for work etc., you're both doing this backwards LOL! No pun intended! I can't wait to get into the Ocean and relax myself, long overdue! Looking forward to Movie night!
