PJ-Comix So, you had a 9 day Caribbean cruise!
In some future posting, I would be interested to read how the cruise went for you. I haven’t traveled like that in some time.
I do recall being in Montego Bay, many years ago while in the service. T’was nice. I even tried to swim a little bit. Treading water, while holding my Double-Tequila Sunrise and listening to a live band.
Curacao was INCREDIBLE. The capital, Willemstad, was like no place I've been to before. Very, very Dutch architecture yet still tropical. The city is divided by the harbor into two sections. We walked over a pedestrian pontoon bridge to the other side but about a half hour later, the bridge was gone. They rolled it back to allow a freighter to pass but we were able to take a free shuttle boat across the harbor.
Oh, and I picked up several bottles of what is considered one of the BEST liqueurs out there: Curacao Blue. Gonna make Margaritas out of them. The liqueur is made from the peel of local grown Valencia oranges which are so sour even the goats won't eat them but the peels produce miraculous oils and frangrances... and liqueurs.
