NO fignewtons

Remember, all the fat grams in Fig Newtons. My head is killing me from non food. I hope I don't pass out walking to my car. Why can't I just be naturally skinny? This sucks. I didn't get anything good from nature!!! My gene pool sucks.

My HTML is not good. Therefore I'm trying to see if I can get a title to show up on the web site.

Cruise Amy & Paula's airline schedule

Amy and Paula are flying direct Boston-Miami on Saturday, August 31. We leave Boston at 6 AM (not Amy's best hour) and arrive in Miami at 9. We will collect our stuff and head on over to the dock from the airport.

We depart at 1:30 on the day we get back. There are 3 flights after that if we happen to miss that one.

Cruise/Tenders

I don't know what the hell a Tender is but everyone is always talking about them on cruise.com. Shannon knows, hopefully she will post on the blog soon. But here is some information on tenders.

The tender process to shore was unorganized, confusing and baffling. Also, when the tender reached the port there were crowds from other cruise lines and tours. We walked a little further past the crowd and found a taxi stand with a sign listing the prices to each hotel and location. It was $4 per person to get to Westin. When we got there we walked directly to the beach, there were chairs and tables for free, the beach was pristine and the swimming area roped off. The hotel offered a restaurant, locker room and stores. (I did not see a shower but there might have been one) A waitress patrolled the beach and offered drinks and food. A little ways down waverunners, paddle boats and kayaks were available for rental. I did not see snorkel equipment for rent but it was available for sale in the stores. It was a great day. It felt like we had the beach to one other couple and ourselves. Better than the closing scene from "Trading Places" You can arrange with your driver to come back at a certain time or take the waiting taxi’s (Vans) back to the port – negotiate the fee before you go. We left early enough to go shopping in town (but for other reasons we did not) and then make the last tender to the ship. There was a long line for the tender to the ship and it was confused with the people going to the carnival ship. Make sure you are on the right line when you get there.

Cruise/beer info

FIRST WARNING TO FUTURE TRAVELERS: You will be handed a drink as you walk across the pool deck. IT IS NOT FREE AND THEY ARE NOT WELCOMING YOU, you will be handed a bill as soon as you take the drink. Feel free to say no thank you unless you want to part with your first $7 immediately. I should also mention that all drinks have a 15% gratuity automatically added on to the drink, but the slip they hand you has a line for tips. I missed that in the beginning, so I was tipping the 15% automatic plus a 20% that I thought to be customary. No wonder they loved me. For those who want beer, ASK FOR THE BUCKET OF BEER SPECIAL. Beers alone are $4 to $5, but you can get 5 beers in a bucket for $12 to $14. Save the remaining four for later in the trip.

Roatan info

From cruise.com comments from people who have been on the Norwegian Sun

Great for water sports and snorkeling! Pay for a ship tour here. Don't go ashore just to walk around.
You'll be back on the ship in 15 minutes. It is a hole in the wall with no stores, bars, or restaurants.
It is not worth your time to walk around and is a pretty island from the ship.
