Another Perfect Day at FDR Runaway Bay Jamaica

Feb 16,

It's me Gabriella again. Kiara won't stop long enough to write today I guess. After she watched some of her favorite cartoons on TV she said, "You do it today Bella," and took off to join Nana in the water.

Answers to yesterday's quiz -

  • 8 o'clock Jamaica time is any time between 8:30 and 9:00 - Everyone here says, You're in Jamaica mon and you're on vacation... no need to hurry, no need to worry!
  • Stamp an' Go is a cod fish fritter with some special hot sauce on top. Nana says to let her know if you want us to get any recipes.
  • A hermit crab has a spiral shaped shell on his back and he can move into that when he wants to be alone. Nana says that that might be a great thing for all of us to have.

  • Crab races take place poolside at FDR... Mine and Mommy's crab won a prize!!! A gift for my Daddy... and a bracelet for me!!
  • Tree frogs are about the size of a 25 cent coin... soo cute and they make such a big noise all night. My Tia Ruthie thought that they were birds singing when we arrived here. Nana shone a little flashlight on a flower bush and we saw one right away and we touched him ever so gently.

  • The youngest guests we met here at FDR are 2 month old twins. The oldest guests are about 80 years Nana said. I didn't think that 80 year old people went scuba diving and did aerobics and danced and smiled soo much. Here they sure do.
  • How many kids and adults are happy at FDR.......all of them!
  • From the door of our suite to the beach is between 15 to 30 feet..... depending on the size of your feet of course.

    Today we are moving to FDR Pebbles to check out that resort. We are leaving about 1 o'clock, Jamaica time, so we have all morning to do stuff before we have to pack up.

    Nana has been in the ocean... outside our door... since early this morning. Tia Ruthie is lounging in the shade just listening to the sea. Sonja is writing down some ideas for her next books, Abuelo has gone for a long walk on the beach. Mommy is all over the place taking pictures. I have to leave now for my second tennis lesson and then go to play some games in the pool, check out the kids programme for the morning, have lunch and get ready to leave by 2pm......1pm Jamaica time, remember?

    As we say in Jamaica...Ah gwon dis side till later. Soon cum.

    Gabriella, just one of the many happy guests at FDR Runaway Bay Jamaica.
