Before Mattie was discharged on December 24, 2008, to spend Christmas at home, he was visited by his best friend from preschool, Zachary, and two marines. These marines were visiting the hospital and providing toys to the children.

Today is a break from tours as it is a day at sea. Peter went for his fourth massage on the ship this morning. Typically this is something Peter doesn't do, but given the multiple stresses he has been balancing, this type of de-stressor is very needed. He did some sort of seaweed massage today that he was raving about!
Just as a recap, we boarded the ship on December 20. The ports we have visited so far are: 1) St. Thomas, 2) Antigua, 3) St. Kitts, 4) Barbados, 5) Martinique, and 6) Trinidad.
At 10am, my mom and I went to the ship's $10 sale held in one of the ship's dining rooms. There was a line assembling outside the dining room, where the sale was going to take place. Honestly you would think they were giving away some of the items, given the frenzy on the line. One of the items they have been pushing are Christmas ornaments for dogs. I have no problem with that, except the items have dog names on it. Which is great if you have a dog named Luna or Otis. But if you don't, I have NO IDEA why one would buy such a gift.
After lunch retreated to the ship's Sanctuary. It is an all adult venue and it costs an additional $30 a day to reserve this seat. However, if you don't secure such a seat, then I can assure you, it will be impossible to ever sit outside.
