Laila stayed in our cabin again last night as the ship moved from Isla Roatan, off the coast of Honduras, to the Cayman Islands. Yesterday was our day to have Laila, and when we tied up at the dock in Mahogany Bay, Roatan, we were ready to hit the beautiful beach. This cruise stop was created for the Carnival Ships which include Princess and Holland America. The blend of a few shops and mostly a beach atmosphere, with the required beach bar & grill was almost perfect. Patty commented more than once, this was her kind of place.

The beach was about 2 football fields long, and the water was warm and inviting.

Laila and Grandma spent over an hour on the beach, mostly searching for shells and other treasures. By the end of the afternoon, Laila's beach attire was more wet than dry. After a day on the beach, we all got cleaned up, and had an incredible dinner in the Ship's Steakhouse. I payed extra for all 7 of us to have this alternative dining experience, but it was worth it, as the steaks, the lobster, the soups, the salads, and the cheesecake desert were all really good! It took us about 2 hours for the complete dinner, and to say that we were full would be an understatement!
This morning, we tied up in the harbor at Grand Cayman Island, and Marc, Chandra, Laila, and Grandma were off on a shore excursion called Turtles, Turtles, & more Turtles. Mike, Amy, and I took one of the tenders into town. Tomorrow is a day at sea, then this wonderful experience with family will be over all too soon.
