Polynesian Privy Review

 Ruth Ann wrote this review.  Though she was called to be a healer and IMHO was the best physician, wife, mother and grandmother ever, she is a better writer than she believes;

As requested by my forever friend, Kris.

Some years ago, Kris and I started rating bathrooms when we traveled, dined and shopped together.  Our Gold Standard was the ladies room in The Cincinnatian Hotel.  Our rating was on a scale of 1-10.  We considered many features such as beauty, color, decor, lighting cleanliness, quality of TP and soap, cloth versus paper towels and other offerings including hand lotion, mouthwash and "special lady needs".

Well, it has been many years since I have been to the lobby of The Cincinnatian Hotel so I now have a new Gold Standard.  This beauty is at the seaside restaurant, Fish and Blue in Raiatea, French Polynesia, where we enjoyed one of our favorite dinners so far on this amazing journey.


                                                            Was it the ocean view?


                                                        Or the seashell sink?


When I complimented the owner on not only the delicious food but the lovely bathroom, as well, she replied. "I love my bathroom and it was so much fun to design it".


                                                This one's for you, Kris Titko!!!

Devil's Island

Image
 This was a French penal colony for 100 years until 1953, where convicts went to die of disease or harsh conditions as 75% died within their first year.  We have each seen prison cells (from the outside of the cell!) so we will not tender to this 35 acre island. My most recent post worried our family that we are not enjoying our journey.  Quite the contrary, we are walking an hour every morning and working out at the fitness center 3 times per week.  We have danced, played scrabble, dined with other couples and we have each finished a book.  Our travel consultant gave us good suggestions for future excursions.  I believe it is important to not only record the positive experiences but to also write about the unfavorable accounts, as well.  I tried to add a bit of humor to make them more pleasant to read and recollect.   “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The...

Food and Wine

Image
 One more day before we reach our first port in Roseau, Dominica.  These days at sea have allowed us to organize our stateroom, read and relax.  The meal offerings are rated the best in the sea cruise industry.  After gorging the first day, we have settled into our usual routine of light breakfast and lunch followed by a moderate dinner with the weekends allowing more caloric intake.  The food is a culinary delight and good wine flows freely on our all inclusive cruise along with good beverages for those who choose to remain sober.  This reminds me of our granddaughter, Caroline.  Shortly before our departure, we were viewing photographs on my phone when she looked at a photo of me and said, "No offense Grandpa, but you look plump".  I replied, "I exercise regularly and try my best not to get fat but there is so much good food and wine".  Old Soul Caroline ended the exchange with "A Life Well Lived".  I write this story with the utmost r...
