Well, two nights complete on the ship and it's been interesting. We are having a great time, but there's been a few more bumps! HA! Oh dear! So yesterday we wake up and the girls slept GREAT for their first night. We managed to pack two pack-n-plays in our room, which is honestly amazing! These rooms are quite small, so now we can basically walk in our room and throw the little ladies on our bed and that's their play area. That's why we're not in our room much aside from naps/sleep/etc! So we did notice yesterday afternoon that both Mia and Kaylie were starting to get runny poops, and then by supper time (after a full day of fun and no odd acting at all), they had full fledged diarrhea and vomiting. So we knew we smart enough about food and water, so the whole "prevent the surprise" thing couldn't be it! But the vomiting did concern us as it was vomiting we haven't seen from them since ohhhh... 2 months old? A lot, and like a fountain! Drained them immediately. We noticed Mia getting quite exhausted and had just napped, so safety first, we called the medic! They both had (have) a fever and are just fighting a bug of some sort, but it's not viral, so we're not quarantined to our room. FEWF! Their first fever yet! And they're troopers. Just acting a little off, but still chuggin' along and smiling lots, so we just need to be extra, EXTRA careful now.
AND... we're in Roatan, Honduras! It's HOT here, and we LOVE it! We're not gettin' out in the sun that much, which is a good thing, but I still predict we'll be a shade darker when we return. Sun is just too much at times for our "northern" skin! We shopped a little and we've compared it so far to Mexico... the not so touristy parts. Little girls selling bracelets for $1 and malnourished dogs, but it's beautiful here, and the people have been great! Not too in your face, and just smiles and seems genuine to see new faces and chat. On that same note, the crew here is quite the same. We've had so many chats so far with so many crew. I think it's the fact that we do have twin infants with us! Many of the crew (including women) have infants at home that they're trying to care for financially, and they all seem to get attached to the girls. Even men! We came across one guy who has 1.5 year old twins at home and he seemed so home sick. We also found out that the crew works for 10 months straight, gets 2 off, and that includes 10 hours a day; 7 days a week! INSANE!
K... off to Belize tomorrow! Saaa-weeeeeeeeeet!
