Castaway Cay!
I had longed for this island for so long! Will I get to put my feet on it's beloved sand? Will I get to swim it's blue ocean? I must wait until DD wakes! Do I dare hope?
Yes, DD wakes up Chipper! The Chilli Dog is out of her system?!?!
I suggest we just take a walk along the island to see how she is. We get dressed and off we go. We pick up a few souvies and with the fresh air of the island she seems her perky self!
We go back to the ship to return the souvies.
NOTE: They take your purchases back for you, no need to do it yourself.
We change, grab our snorkel gear and off we go! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I ordered a Gift Package thru Shirley which inlcuded the snorkel gear. Thanks Shirley, this was the light at end of a dark tunnel. We get to the waters edge, I dip my toe, and WHOA! Someone forgot to turn the heat on! But it was amazing how quickly you got used to the temp. It was amazing swimming with the fishies! DD enjoyed until the fish seemed nibble at her fins and she did not enjoy. I think I let her watch "JAWS" one too many times!LOL
DD was feeling hungry again, so we went over to Cookies and grabbed lunch. I also tried a Konk Kooler! Reminded me of a Creamsicle! Didn't want to over do so we headed back to the ship. We went swimming on board and then changed for Dinner.
During dinner DD started feeling the motion and had to go back and lie down. We did make it for the Disney Dreams show and you know it was great when even DD mentioned about coming back on a cruise! She got so caught up in the show, and was enjoying it so much, she forgot she wasn't feeling 100%
After the show went back and put her to bed. I packed and realized the trip that I had hoped for did not materialize.
Like the guy from Immigration said to DD, "At least you can say you were on the Wonder!"
Thanks to all and to all a fond farewell!
