Guadeloupe - today we went for a chill day on the beach!
We were in a taxi van headed to St Anne's area from the port and our driver wanted to pick up more people to fill the van. The 2 we added were Robert and Fred from our ship, who were going to a hotel to use a day pass they offered - 60 Euro for use of beach pool and facilities and it included hot & cold buffet lunch with cocktails. Hotel was lovely when we pulled up and secluded beach & pool lovely - so we changed plans and joined in. Robert, who is a wealth investor in our Ship, ended up paying for all 6 of us and we had a very nice day just relaxing. Rod, Fred & Robert bonded over cars and music discussions. Us ladies just chilled! A good day!

I don't know why, but I have always made great and lasting friendships with my nail & hair stylist people. Maybe because I see them regularly, we chit chat the whole appointment and share deep confidences quickly and with great respect, it's a safe zone! Stacy from Mauritius was that for me on the Odyssey . She was Spa Manager from the beginning in Belfast and took only two short vacation breaks over the two years.

I have wanted to see the famed Singapore Changi Airport for years to see the world's largest indoor waterfall. Turns out the waterfall is in a part of the airport, outside the Departure Terminals, so I still have yet to see it! The Terminal does have some interesting architecture and houses a huge shopping mall, with some very high end stores and Christmas decorations are up everywhere, the day after Halloween ( which sadly, they don't celebrate here ).
