I don't like country music that has a lot of "twange" to it. 2 hours ago, mets07 said: My husband and I went to 4 or 5 Toby Keith concerts. Fun and entertaining singer. Sad. 🎵 💙 My DW was a country music fan and introduced me to Toby Keith's music with this song. Said it reminded her of us. 😃 I was hooked & became a big fan. I have fond memories of the 5 or 6 TK concerts I've gone to so this news hits a little close to the heart. Always wanted to take Little HBE4 to one of his concerts so she could experience what her mom did. I guess I'll need to take her to a Garth Brooks show, which was DW true country music love. 🙂 Edited February 6 by HBE4 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain announced that the ocean will be angry this evening and tonight, so the ship will sail slow and steady, and we will reach Jamaica one hour later than scheduled. And will stay an extra hour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we are a lot further south than you, well below Jamaica. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also discovered the Hotel Nacional. Bolaro’s was my favorite place to get a Hurricane. Come to think of it, I think I have a favorite drink at each bar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATG Posted February 6 #114360 Share Posted February 6 We are on Oasis and are currently “stuck “ at Coco Cay. Weather wasn’t great, but sun had begun to shine when about 12:30 they announced they were closing Coco Cay and return to the ship immediately. The waves were very big and we got drenched on the pier. About 1:30 the captain announced we were leaving as soon as Freedom was away. They left (they were on the leeward side). It’s now 5:00 and we’re still here. Rumor has it that the thrusters couldn’t move us away from the pier. Not sure what happens now. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tells you the strength of the wind and waves, if the power of Oasis can’t beat the force against the side of the ship. Granted, it is a small building. Hopefully the winds will let up and you can soon be on your way. I guess it could be a wavy night for you all as well. I found this photo on-line and thanks goes out to Tim. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
