Mar 19 Antigua, West Indies

The ship was originally scheduled to be at sea today and stop at the island of Grand Cayman tomorrow. A few days ago, the captain notified everyone that there would be a change in our schedule because there was a problem in Grand Cayman and several cruise lines were cancelling stops at this time until the problem is resolved.

So he arranged that we would stop on the island of Antigua. Sam is excited because the excursion that he picked for today is riding an ATV!! There were only passengers that selected this excursion – it was a surprise to Sam that it wasn’t cancelled!  Sam really liked riding on the ATV. He got to sit in the front. The tour included riding on main roads, rocky paths, dirt paths, and country roads. There were a lot of bumps, dips, turns, ups and downs. Because this is the last part of the dry season, there was a lot of dust. Sam got really dirty!

On the way back to the ship, Sam had his picture taken with a steel drum band. He filled the sink with ice and water and then washed off all the dirt from the ATV ride.
