This morning we’re stopped at the Cayman Islands, and Pokin and I are both excited to head to the turtle sanctuary.

Pokin’s always had a fascination for sea turtles, and me, I’ve always thought it would be fun to ride a sea turtle except for the fact they are mostly underwater. They have flippers like I have paws. We relate.

First, it was time to see some stingrays at Stingray City. It was pretty crowded. They got in with the sting rays. I hung out on the boat.

Next step to the sanctuary! This is one of the few places you can see turtles in all stages of life from eggs to hatchlings to mature turtles. We even got to pick some up. The turtles and I, we got to have some moments. It was great.

Day one, we get on the cruise, departing from Fort Lauderdale.

We’re posing for our bon voyage photo on the ship deck when I hear a noise.  Peep!  Peep!! Oh no.  Yep, there’s that bunny.  It’s a cadre of people myself and an unwelcome bunny.  I don’t know how he manages to do it. I try to lock him in the safe but he somehow manages to get out and have coffee. I just don’t even….
