Thanks for all of the feedback everyone! Hopefully I'll have some time soon to wrap up the rest of the TR while it's all still fresh in my mind...

Great update! So Gillian did enjoy the snorkeling? The reason we didn't book a snorkeling excursion was our fear of how Ally would react. So we just booked the snorkel gear on CC and it's a good thing. She freaked when she saw her first teeny tiny fish!

She did great with it - had helped that she had done plenty of snorkeling in the pool. She and Kayleigh both enjoyed getting to see all of the sights, including the fish. The only problem was the water temps @ St. John and Castaway Cay, and then the water was a bit rough @ Castaway as well, with the weather/wind - so they both wanted to go play on the beach towards the end of both of those days, which allowed Ginger and I to go back out and do a bit more just the two of us - which was nice because we were able to relax a bit more, and didn't feel like we had to be watching them both so closely as we were doing when they were coming along. Best of both worlds!
