3/17 - What happened to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua 3/18-19?

We sure enjoyed our down time yesterday.  Little did we know we were in the throngs of the Torres Cruise Illness cycle.

We kept a very low profile the rest of Saturday.  Only I left the cabin to briefly meet our cruising buddies.  Tony was still very content to stay in bed never even getting anything to eat that evening.  I was also tired so we both crashed early and took advantage of the on demand movies available in our room.

Sunday morning we started slow.  Tony felt much better, but not a lot of energy.  I had even less.  But we forced ourselves upstairs to have a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice, our standard breakfast this cruise.  We sat and chatted for a while with a couple at our table and then headed back to the cabin.  I wasn't feeling well.

Long story short, I spent the next two days in bed missing our much anticipated wine makers meal.  But Tony did the responsible thing and attended and represented both of us. I think I'm safe ruling out food poisoning.  We wouldn't have been sick sequentially if it was something we ate.  After 17 cruises we've succumbed to a nasty ship virus.  We've paid our dues...2 days in bed for both of us.  But we survived!  And stronger for the experience.

By Tuesday, (3/19) I had rebounded and we were able to join our little travel gang for dinner at the Crown Grill.  Thank you Pat and Dean for a wonderful treat and many additional memories for this cruise.  I have a feeling the 6 of us may be cruising together again.

Tomorrow is Puerta Vallerta.   You can be damn sure I'm getting off this ship and having a really cold beer!

Good health is precious.
