We had a wonderful time while Mom was here. We got to go on two island tours with two different guides. One guide told (& showed) us all about the native plants that grow around the island. The other guide went into a lot of the history & talked about what it was like growing up here. It was great to get two different points of view.

We went to a Grenadian home for Christmas. We had Christmas Eve dinner at the de Big Fish restaurant. We also had a Boxing Day pot luck at the de Big Fish. We went to Grand Anse Beach. We got lobster and Gary cooked it one night. He also cooked sailfish one night.

We played lots of games including Rumicube. Mom brought us a Mexican Train game - we love it. She brought us lots of items that we could not get here. She also brought me a new pair of Keen Shoes that I ordered over the internet. The Keen's that Amanda gave me when we were on the cruise were not able to be glued anymore. Hope (from Starshine) gave me a pair that someone gave her and were too big. So now I have two pairs.

At Cool Running, the hotel that we stayed at, they had free laundry after 5 pm. I was able to wash all the rugs from the boat. Cool running also had the best internet connection since we left the U.S. We were able to Skype Sue and Steve on Christmas Eve and got to see their Christmas tree.

I was also able to talk to my Mom twice and sister, Fran, and brother, Steve.

We moved back to the boat on Saturday, December 29.

Monday was New Year's Eve. We went to de Big Fish. The dinner was seared tuna. It was delicious. We also had a bottle of Champaign. The music was great and we did some dancing. We got to watch the fireworks in London. We were back at the boat before midnight and got to watch fireworks from five different directions around the bay. It was raining at the time so we were lucky to be on the boat.
