83
F, sunny
While
we were getting ready to go to Mahogany Beach today in Roatan, we saw the
weather report for Erie, Pennsylvania. Snow and more snow, and colder and
colder. Oh dear. I will concentrate my thoughts on how much both B1 and B2 like
to snowboard and I hope that they can go to Peek and Peak this weekend to enjoy
that weather while we are on beaches amongst the palm trees.
Last
night’s dinner was just as raucous as usual. Our server, Wonna (need to check
spelling) from Thailand asked Brian to marry her. He had asked her about her
family back home. She said she had a mother and father, but no husband. Then she
said seriously, “Brian, will you marry me?” Brian, who is never caught off
guard, was speechless. Nancy (Brian’s wife) said she would be the Maid of Honor.
Lawrence continues to speak without a filter, and so we spend most of dinner
laughing at all the antics. TK used to be the voice of reason, but sadly, he is
going over to the dark side.
Lawrence’s joke of the evening: A man went to his doctor for a checkup. After
checking the man over, the doctor said, “I have bad news and even worse news.”
The
man said, “Give me the bad news first.”
The
doctor said, “You only have 3 ½ months to live.”
The
man countered, “That’s really bad
news. What could be worse than that?”
The
doctor replied, “I should have told you the bad news 3 ½ months ago.”
Brian’s joke of the evening:
A man went to his doctor and said, “I think my wife is getting hard of hearing,
but she won’t go for any tests.”
The
doctor said, “I can tell you about a test you can give her. Today when you go
home, stand 30 feet away from her and ask her a question. If she doesn’t answer
you, keep going closer until you think she finally hears you.”
That
night the man goes home. He stands about 30 feet away from her and asks, “Honey,
what are we having for dinner tonight?” No answer.
He
moves 20 feet away from her and asks again, “Honey, what are we having for
dinner tonight?” Again, his wife does not answer.
He
moves 10 feet away from her and asks again, “Honey, what are we having for
dinner tonight.” His wife does not answer.
Finally,
he is just 3 feet away from his wife and asks once again, “Honey, what are we
having for dinner tonight?”
She
replies, “I’ve told you three times, chicken and biscuits. What’s the MATTER with YOU?”
TK
just told me he did not get this joke now when I just read it and last night
when Brian told us. Maybe he has a hearing problem!!
We
spend so much time at dinner with this kind of entertainment, we still have not
seen a show on this cruise. Maybe Brian and Lawrence can get jobs on a cruise
ship.
We
spent a fabulous day on the sandy white beach in Roatan. We walked to the
beach, about half a mile.This island is so lush—large bird of paradise, and
many other flowers and plants I don’t know their names. The glorious sun and the mellow breeze made it
a perfect day by the Caribbean. Donna and Lawrence had a private photo session
before they joined us. Three changes of clothes! I don’t think TK would go for
that. I was reading in the shade under a palm tree—my favorite – a book, a
beach, and a palm to sit under!!

This
is the 3rd time we have been in Roatan. The first time we docked in
a different area, and nothing was really built up. More recently Carnival
Cruise Lines built a docking area, shopping area, and a large beach area that includes
a sky ride to the beach, several restaurant/bar areas, rest rooms, and hundreds
of lounge chairs and collapsible cabanas. People can also rent all kinds of
water toys. Two Carnival ships were in port (Dream, Pride), so the beach area
was packed with people. We did have six lounge chairs together though, some in
shade, others in the sun to please all of us.
After
a little tour of the shops (I only purchased “cozies” to support the Roatan Marine
Park), I returned to the ship and saw the huge towel animal frogs by the pool
bar, Red Frog. We have never seen towel
animals like this!
Towel frogs for B1 and B1--so big!

He’s napping on the balcony. I will ask him later…
