lcookie Posted May 11, 2019 Author #176 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) The trip took us through the City and along the Countryside. It was a much better experience than the typical taxi ride. Edited May 11, 2019 by lcookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcookie Posted May 11, 2019 Author #177 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Not sure how much power he had but you can bet he wasn't willing to trade with one of us. He easily topped out at twice the speed we did. I tried this move a couple of o times but Teenie kept shifting her weight the wrong way. I think she was doing it on purpose!

lcookie Posted May 11, 2019 Author #178 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Maho here we are. As we ride along the beach I could not help but note how much calmer the water was this trip. Last time here you could barely stand at the water's edge without getting tossed around. We only had an hour here due to the mix-up mix-up earlier at the ATV shop. For this reason we decided to just hang out by the pool and grab a quick bite to eat. Was no need to get in the ocean for such a short time. The kiddos did not mind. To them water is water. Amazingly, they ran into their friend they had been playing with on the boat for the past couple days. Small World! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #179 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) While the kiddos were playing I took a quick stroll along the beach. Look at those swales. Perfect size for a good day at the beach. The sand at this beach is what I like to call soft and sticky. It is easy on the skin but clings to any part of the body it touches. Last trip here it took over a month to get it out of Teenie's head. I wanted to get a shot of some planes landing and taking off. Unfortunately, this is the only one I could get.

lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #180 Share Posted May 12, 2019 After my brief walk along the beach, I went back to the pool area and relaxed until it was time to go. We ordered some lunch for which they promised would only take 15 minutes to deliver. Well, 40 minutes later it arrived. We wolfed down the quesadilla to knock the dust off of us and then took the remainder back with us for the ride home. My view Good drinks. Just needed my food next to it A couple of planes on final approach Kiddos in the background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #182 Share Posted May 12, 2019 As luck would have it a plane was approaching as we were leaving on the quads. No time like the present so we took the time to catch it on film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #183 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Pics along the ride home. They took us a different way back which went through more neighborhood areas. We saw like 3 planes take off before we left the airport area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #185 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Back at the ranch we unloaded and got ready to head back to the ship but there was a BIG problem. No tour bus! For whatever reason there was no bus there to take us back to the port. They instead gave us rides back to the port on the quads. We were actually unaware of the situation for a bit as we were inside the shop soaking up the AC and eating the second half of our lunch. No pics of the food but the grill chicken BLT and seafood poorboy with crabmeat were off the hook. I really can't imagine how they screwed that up but they did. The better question for me was since the return trip was somewhat uncontrolled as the group was broken up, would the ship have to wait on you if you were late boarding. Fortunately, that question did not have to be answered. Don't forget that parking brake Our Whip! Hey where is that bus at?

lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #190 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Not too long after boarding we are pushing off the dock headed out to sea. Remember that sand I told you about? Look how it stuck to my skin inside my shoes. Me and my Baby! Edited May 12, 2019 by lcookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #191 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Welcome to Seaday 3! Just like our port at San Juan we get to spend the vast part of the day out at sea. This gives us more time to enjoy the boat. Of course the kiddos had plans and we were more than willing to oblige. They spent the next 4 plus hours at the waterpark.

lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #192 Share Posted May 12, 2019 My first glimpse of my lady this afternoon. There's that look of surprise on her face. After all these years I can still catch her totally off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #194 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Now I ain't no smart man but I can say these kids got it pretty good. They had such a great time at the aqua park. The only issue I had with the aqua park was lack of seating. See we are from the school of watch your kids. If you wanted to be at the park the only seating area was the lip of the pool. We took up residence in the chairs and loungers just upstairs. We took turns checking the rail to make sure things were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #195 Share Posted May 12, 2019 After our 30 minute hold out for our food to digest (is this really a thing or just something passed down by our parents that we simply don't question) we head up to take on the water slides.

lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #196 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Next was some zip line action All the while the kiddos were still enjoying the water park. Edited May 12, 2019 by lcookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #197 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) I was even able to pry Teenie away from the pool long enough to ride the slides. I found the less body contact on this slide the faster you could go. lifting my legs up really helped. We made a bet on who would win the racing slide. You already know what the prize would be - CHOCHOLATE for the winner. (as if we were not going to get it anyway) From these rub it in smiles yall can tell who won. What I can't decipher is is she happier she beat me or that she gets chocolate! Edited May 12, 2019 by lcookie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #199 Share Posted May 12, 2019 As the day runs out the kiddos play strong. Meanwhile, the adults start to wind down. We hung out topside until 6 pm when the water parks closed. Next was a trip to the room to get ready for part 3 of the day (nightlife). He could have used those towels to dry off. The eyes don't lie. This one is running on fumes. Mama left the spa and was already in the room relaxing when we go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcookie Posted May 12, 2019 Author #200 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Another thing I noticed about MSC was that they closed up the pool areas and stored the deck chairs at what I seemed to feel was way early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
