Aruba "Aloe," Anyone?

Oranjestad, Aruba 1/19/2008
Time Zone: Eastern plus one hour

We had a leisurely breakfast and then went into town. Jeff spent his first time working on email since we left New York. We took my laptop, but they didn't have WiFi, so Jeff just worked in the Internet cafe. I didn't get much done.
Then off to Palm Beach and the Riu Resort. We took a taxi and wandered around the resort and then headed out to the beach. It was pretty windy, 26 MPH, so we didn't go into the water. We just sat and read and soon a colorful character walked past selling "Aruba Aloe." I didn't see him get any takers.

We went back the ship and enjoyed the pool before sail away.
While we were in town the crew started to prepare for the Panama Canal Transit. The preparations included removing all of the window washing machines from the side of the boat and putting them on the promenade deck until we reach Costa Rica. The also adjusted the position of the tenders that are hanging somewhat outside of the edge of the ship. The ship must be close to the maximum size that can make the transit if this is necessary. The transit starts at 7 AM on Monday with the boarding of the Pilots.
