Now back to my review

 

It's our dinner night at the Carnival Steakhouse restaurant named Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse which is $35 per person extra and worth every penny!!!

 

But first the sunset 5ab13ec88aa25b561f0064a36a2238c7.jpg042298b2b6de46d84e631872483dabca.jpgd3554ce214ed44218e6d81a64c7906e0.jpg

Now for my appetizer I opted for escargot. I've always wanted to try it but just the thought of the little animal in the shell that it once was just made me not want it anymore until today. I convinced myself that they are dead and cooked in garlic and butter with pastry and well went for it989a9edf61999fb6ad179964db4940b5.jpg. It was different but really very delicious!!!! I will definitely have that again!

M and Nat had crab cakes 3b8dab0946ef0320c36974eaef038afe.jpg I also had one.....plenty of crab meat and a little cake mixed together....really good!6fcabd65a69168f49f9a172a3b82dd73.jpg M also had shrimp cocktail

Next the main entrees.....steak

50c87d882b593d91b8ae636427009682.jpg the biggest piece of meat I have ever had....I couldn't finish it....I tried, believe me I tried.8749e89d16562af8e2d201eaf84658eb.jpg this is Nat's first surf and turf and she didn't share!f6d09e2cfeaaafe91d439c3fe5984e32.jpg my sides

Congrats he is absolutely perfect and so adorable!!!!

 

I'm sorry about your family member passing away it's never easy even when you have time to prepare for it. My grandfather at 92 back in April was put into hospice, he passed away after 5 days but he had 3 good days with almost the entire family with him, even was able to meet my 6 month old son for the first time.

Last but not least desserts

I had the chocolate samplere6d6ef909dedc8c4472fe83530c9d532.jpg

Here's a short video of it....my favorite was the banana ice cream and white chocolate one on the endhttps://vimeo.com/195393937

M is a big cheesecake.....eater, so he loved the New York cheesecake and even let me try a bite.5e385559e7307c3ecd0e91af1b1ea2f2.jpg03f2534cc9e5703acd801f7b53036c40.jpg picture of my martini but I can't remember the name of it

All in all it was one of my favorite meals of all time. The service was excellent and we were very well taken care of. Everything was delicious and everyone was so helpful and attentive.

 

Next we went to the main theater for the 88 keys show.....I really liked this show a lot. It had movement and lights and dancing and music but wait don't all the shows but this one all with different pianos96473c4bdb247e3000fb6d88417606f9.jpg9cfc8c95c15d87d16a8aa7d684d9ba36.jpge82b9e743deac83e70bd9c5ba048e054.jpg

Can you tell I also like piano music and piano players. Secretly I would love to learn to play the piano....one day.

After the show, we headed out to atrium to listen to the the country duo. I loved them even though the girl was a little under the weather with a cold or something, they still sounded amazing. I really enjoyed listening to them many times98008dc1c1cabc772a87072b3227f166.jpg their name was Y2Kountry with two bad apples

After sitting there and listeningNat decided to go back to the cabin and get ready for bed and I wanted to go dancing at the night club. All the while I forgot to tell you that the boat was really a rocking and we were in the middle of the storm. We went in the nightclub while everyone else were heading out. Turns out the club was flooded with a leak from the storm or something but what I didn't understand is the club in on the 5th deck....so how was the water getting in?148c36f42fd55cefb01e365b2e5cffe3.jpg3333f01c93d2f7081573e78bff3d4b4b.jpg this would be the only time we stepped in the club just to step out with the bottom of my dress all wet. But it was an nice looking place.

Walking towards our cabin we always passed by some of the art for sale....here are some of my favorites a3a990ee17725a9614b934aa0f359094.jpg0965e6aeaa780bc910cb975f6f46df2a.jpg I don't know if I'm breaking some kind of copyright law in sharing these photos but please don't tell on me....Good night for now86bc4d3899dd97c2ae82dc16e5cb29ac.jpg froggy kind of night

Thank you for your kind words on my nephew and yes my family member did have some really good days right before she passes....even laughed and told stories so I'm glad she went peacefully and no longer in pain. Thank you for your story and sorry about your grandfather!

Back to my review.....it's Roatan, Honduras day!!!

 

I knew exactly what I wanted to do here. Thanks to some of the really good reviews on this site I knew if I ever had a chance to come here I would go to Little French Key!!!

We were so excited! I researched the web site, drooled over countless pictures online and even hipped up M about the beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters plus all the other inclusive things like the drinks, food, zoo, and snorkeling.

 

So we woke up early and ordered room service for breakfast. It was delivered promptly at 7:30 as asked. We had the usual cereal and bagels.

It looked like a wonderful morning 7f05c47a9ad3cc9cc5e1970087e71601.jpg2531453640873e893292dc2e0b7fb35a.jpg0f96c398681234ea1d3b52104c484d0a.jpg2f8c31eae323234957c382a344616995.jpg

The port is Mahogany Bay and it is beautiful

This is the walk way up to the port side which is filled with shops and restaurants and bars also another walk way to a free beach.....maybe next time.12577164134331f4b7b8b6fcd7b89fa0.jpg4f2f23c92223781dd531f9d0da559c68.jpg

All we knew is that we would have to walk all the way across the port thru the taxi area up the hill and then down the hill towards the end of the road. I was concerned because I really didn't know what I was doing or where I was going so we asked a taxi guy and he offered to take us all the way to the paying center for $10 each...I kept on walking ce659ca5eb9c472d1cd80ecf2ae1f254.jpg3f9c46968ec10a1a450e13a88987156e.jpg411634629473685873aea8a7b7dac2c0.jpg very clean and pretty with many rest areas and flowers and palm trees...yay!81a58ec557f2d10f38318ab9d15d01c4.jpgf1e056dff941d13b2bdf998fcb830eee.jpgb502a531813768bb79e4749716fa1e1e.jpg picture of the island of Roatan

Now this is where the trip started going downhill....remember that we had pushed Nat to go up the Mayan temple/pyramid and remember how I said she didn't want to....well today her leg was really hurting and she didn't want to walk and so she kept getting behind. We found the guys from Little French Key (you can't miss them...they have signs and all wear the same colored shirt, and they are super nice). He told us to follow him into a van he was filling up....well the night before had rained pretty bad and there was a lot of mud. I turned around and told Nat to be careful and try not to step on the slippery mud (like any good mom would) and right at that moment she slipped on the mud and fell on her right side. I ran and helped her up but the damage was done. Her whole right side was all muddy and her knee was bleeding from a small scrape and she was crying. Badly! We helped her up to the van and they gave me some water to wash and clean her up a little. She kept crying! They gave my a clean towel to try to dry her up also. She kept crying. And now her leg hurt even more! Needless to say I have no pictures of all this drama. I comforted her as much as I could then the van came to a sudden stop. Why? You ask. Sheep....a lot of sheep.9eb7404e8122e5288a3dd5e4e9603a13.jpg19a9046db325ba7b5dcfab8be4e9c4b9.jpg

I have stopped for cows, dogs, even ducks before but first time for sheep. Nat thought that was neat.

We got to the payment area, which is a restaurant bar area. And we were in line when the rain came.....c6aa5a34793baaf6adcfd5d2573510ca.jpg98207a978033a62667d1b8761f7362a9.jpg57d0d83948d5f68249212b9da147fbca.jpg standing in line to pay3d5026988e29e3be3ebf8be066efa372.jpg mangrove I think

Continuing on the review we finally were able to get on the little transporting boat to the Little French Key island.

2e9ee669a84b54d75da38d20fc09eca6.jpg first thing I looked for was the jaguar and lion enclosures but nothing. The guide said they had been moved to the main island because of all the strong storm that have come thru.

We were given a small tour and we choose an area in front on the bar and food area. I knew that sooner or later the rain would hit us so I decided to do a walk around and explode a little, M sat down in front of the water and Nat went in the water of course.9e697be55623d4474a519dca3eedcfd7.jpg palm trees!!!

8dfc422d27e174b336f0009e2f38c6dc.jpg playing follow the leader, at least we didn't have to be single file

a817af4b0088c196f106b27b9027951e.jpg I loved this little private beach area....good for those that want to nap and quiet time away from the noise

9e79938c9ad8698d82e085ece4c6467a.jpg kayaks, I wanted to get one but I'm to scared that it would turn over and me not being able to swim it just would be good...better safe than sorry

70ff585707eb419f03ec22aba5d0423a.jpg a funny looking fruit of some sort. My aunt said it's called a NoNi which is a kind of bitter fruit that is mixed with others and supposed to be good for the blood. I don't know I just thought it looked weird and kind of resembled a cactus pear but we didn't see a cactus anywhere.ec8715ae44102a2c6df2a36abfb20592.jpg some dining area
