Memorable Moments: Steve bringing his blender, the boys going bottomless in the surf at Orient Beach, Gary losing his swim trunks to Judy, Steve losing one of his water walkers, Rick taking a nose dive at St. Johns Beach, Steve & Gary buying their spouses diamond rings while my husband napped on the ship; Rick so excited about getting a new camcorder that he showed up for dinner dressed inappropriately. Most fun: the catamaran, the Spirit of St. Kitts ... oh, I'd love to have one of these (at $1 million dollars, only in my dreams!).
