Day 17: St. Kitts

Photos of our beautiful, smooth and quiet approach to St. Kitts this morning. We watched from Deck 16 forward in front of the Lotus Spa. St. Kitts is probably the prettiest island we visit as seen from the cruise ship pier.

On tap for today: not much. We found out the Real Feel in Barbados yesterday was 96 degrees, with the same forecasted for St. Kitts today. With beach days planned tomorrow in St. Thomas and Sunday in Grand Turk, we think it's prudent to go easy today (gosh, we ARE getting older!). We'll walk off the ship to use wifi and then return for a leisurely lunch and some time in a shady pool.

At least that's the plan. We'll see how we feel when we actually get outside.
