Seriously! I think I must be dreaming. Yesterday we visited the most heavenly island I could have ever imagined. It’s the island that always comes to mind as you’re shoveling through feet of snow on a cold Colorado winter’s morning. Eight square miles of beautiful white sandy pristine beaches with deep velvet blue water dappled with patches of turquoise gems. Ahhh! Heaven! I seriously considered abandoning ship and staying there forever. I suppose you want to know the name of my newfound paradise, although I must admit I’m a bit hesitant to unleash a throng of tourists upon my sanctuary. Okay, it’s Grand Turk. Thus far it’s been hands down my most favorite Caribbean Island…take note all you travelers!
Allow me to cause more drooling with my day-in-the-life. I woke up around 10:00 a.m. (actually 11:00 a.m. from the time zone we were coming from!), and had a cup of coffee with yoghurt and fresh fruit and the vast ocean as my background. After breakfast I checked my e-mail and then took a leisurely stroll along the Promenade deck before practicing for about an hour. Then I went to my “private” gym as the ship pulled into port. I got off and went sunbathing in paradise and took a beautiful swim in the ocean. I used my goggles for makeshift snorkeling and saw a stunning grey fish with brilliant blue trim all along its body and also what I believe was a tiger fish. I strolled back along the shore admiring the myriad of conch shells speckling the beach and made it back to the ship just in time for a 4:30 rehearsal. We rehearsed for about an hour and then I had a light snack before the 7:15 show. After the show, I went up and dined on swiss chard with garlic, red cabbage with apple and broiled flounder before the 9:00 show. After the show, I practiced some more for my first big production number tonight and then drifted away to dream land.
Oh, and did I mention I didn’t even spend a dime, but made money?! Somebody pinch me!!
(I think I’ve gloated enough for one day!)
