This is an island we have not visited before. We had an excursion planned but when we read the full description of it, we decided to cancel and book the new culinary class on board.

Here is our sail in.

Kingstown is set against a backdrop of lush green hills. The dry season is December to May but the rainy season ensures the beauty of the greenery.

We opted to walk around the town. It is not as well developed as the islands we just visited and there are a lot of run down properties. The people are pleasant but the drivers can be aggressive. We didn’t see any traffic lights or stop signs and you have to be very careful when trying to cross streets. This was one of the few street signs we saw! On this intersection, we saw this very entertaining officer directing traffic.

I saw a man with a t-shirt that had my slogan for the day: Worry is a misuse of your imagination.

In the afternoon, Norm and I took a cooking class that I was full during the Inaugural Cruise we took a couple of weeks ago. It was called “Snap and Savor”. We made three recipes (in the recipe booklet below) and Katherine from LINC taught us how to use the features of our iPhone camera to take pictures with different backgrounds and viewpoints. I have included some of each of the ways I took them. And we got to eat and drink all of the food and drink. Delicious.

Our dinner was in Polo and we celebrated our son Mark’s birthday. The food was delicious as always and the staff brought a cake and sang to him. Unfortunately the server will not allow me to upload these photos right now, I will hopefully add them tomorrow.

When he returned to their room, it was decorated for his birthday.

The guest entertainer tonight was a comedian, Corey Kahaney. She was very good! Her TV appearances include The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, David Letterman, Conan, The View, Fox and Friends and This week at the Comedy Cellar. She was a grand finalist on Last Comic Standing and a finalist on America’s Got Talent. Her comedy specials have aired on Comedy Central and HBO. She has appeared at festivals in the US and Canada. She will have an all new show on New Year’s Eve.
