    What a proud moment to compete such a difficult hike!! I have been awaiting seeing this adventure since you blogged about it during the trip. Special kudos for doing that hike in sketchers!!! Glad you made it back safe 👍🏼👍🏼

      Such an intense experience, but we're both so glad that we did it. Woohoo!! :D

    I knew you wouldnt say no when Dee asked so sweetly can i have one? What a good hubby. I bet she smiles every time she looks at it. Also you told her she couldn't take home a turtle when ya all was snorkeling but she got too from the trip after all ..lol

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому +2

      True... no real life turtle from St. Thomas, but picking up "Dom" was close enough, ha ha... :P

      @parodeejay  4 роки тому +3

      This was about as far outside the box as we've gone, but we're so glad we gave it a try and conquered it!! :D

    @stefk3460 4 роки тому +1

    This is why I love cruising. You can go on crazy adventures in the port all while knowing you have a relaxing pool and amazing food waiting for you as soon as you return to the ship.

    • @parodeejay

      True! I just kept thinking of my cozy bed and hot (although short) shower, ha ha... good times!! :P

      @parodeejay  4 роки тому +3

      Haaah, it really was! But Waitukubuli does offer a ton of "normal" excursions as well, ha ha... we just ended up with a challenge that day, but we're so glad we pulled it off!! :D

    Well Done Jay for making it that far! Not sure i would have, it looks treacherous! I bet you slept well that night! x

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому

      Heck yeah! We got back to the cabin and crashed for a while, and definitely slept well after doing some squats in that short shower to get the mud off, ha ha... :P

    That made my day , been a few days between Smiles but the quote, “ I thought this was snorkelling excursion “. brought much happiness 🥰🥰😂😂

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому

      I guess every excursion can be a snorkeling excursion if you try hard enough. Side note, you can drink a long island iced tea through a snorkel if you try hard enough... :P

    We did the champagne snorkel last time, it was kind of cool but not outstanding snorkelling. Very proud of you Jay. I am noticing as I hit 50 that I am more careful about talking steep trails down . Last week we went to Jasper National Park and hiked up the glacier, the last time I did that was 10 years ago at 40, 50 is a whole different ball game. My boyfriend went further down than I did, I made the same decision when I saw another lady slip in front of me, I didn't want the stress.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому

      I'd heard that the Champagne Reef took a lot of damage in a storm a few years back, and that it used to be a lot better. It sounded like a cool experience, and we might check it out eventually, hah...

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому +1

      Ah, we almost did Dunn's River, but we decided to skip that the last time around in Ocho Rios, ha ha... maybe someday. People say it's awesome, other than maybe the vendor village at the end that they usually make you walk through!! :P

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  2 роки тому

      Heyo! There's no point, really... other than just to add a little bit of visual interest, rather than eight or ten snippets in a row of the same band playing various songs. It started as a gag because we had bad sight lines in a particular venue and couldn't even see the band, but now it's done intentionally, ha ha!! :P

    In (I think) Costa Rica we did the tour Walking in the Clouds. Very similar terrain and they gave us walking canes which helped me alot. It wore the heck out of me! There is nothing wrong with being proud of that accomplishment because I was proud of myself because I wanted to quit but did not. Thanks for sharing and that waterfall was beautiful.

    Great video and Jay, you did a great job! There is no way my husband or I could do that hike. We're late 60s and have bad knees so, thank you Dee, for raising the fact that having 'bad knees' is not recommended for this hike. We're in Dominica in April 2022 on a cruise so I think we'll stick to an excursion showing the highlights of Dominica and forget the hikes :) Great job!!!

      We've seen a lot of nice island tours and things, both through the ship as well as Waitukubuli Tours. Our first trip to Dominica, we did one through the ship but it did involve the option of walking down a lot of steps to get to Trafalgar Falls.

    Wow! You guys, I’m so proud of you two. I believe I would have second thoughts about a hike like this. I love to hike but usually in a flat dry forest, 😆. Got to give you kudos Jay, you did it! 👏🏽 👏🏽

    Well done, I did a much shorter hike in the Dominica rainforest and it was slippery. My bad knees would not let me do that today, unfortunately

    • @parodeejay

      Definitely a challenging hike, but a fantastic day! We did climb the steps down to Trafalgar Falls on our first visit, which was much easier, ha ha... :D

    As Sean & Stef would say at the start of their vlogs, you needed a "hearty breakfast" in order to do this excursion. You could've done plan A with the Carnival crowd, so hopefully you'll get that opportunity.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому +1

      We actually didn't! Yes, we came across a couple of folks along the trail headed up as we were headed back down, and they were skinny folks huffing and puffing, hah... I didn't feel so bad after all!! :P ~Jay

    • @bbergs8628
      @bbergs8628 4 роки тому

      ParoDeeJay - you did great (both you & Dee)! That wasn’t an easy trail - especially when it was wet & slippery. I used to hike (before my knee told me to stop) - but I stuck to easy trails (did lots of hiking in high school & college - in upstate NY) - but I’m OLD now - so I usually opt for open air safari bus tours of the islands!

    Was there another ship in port that day which made you guys dock at the other pier?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому +1

      There was a Silversea ship in with us, so I assume they were smaller and got the main pier, leaving us at the commercial port.

    • @alk61695

  • @lostboystravels9141
    @lostboystravels9141 4 роки тому +1

    here is my question, I never been to Dominica so I know nothing about it. but what I did pick up on Jay is you said you got and email the night before and what you had book was only you and Dee. Not sure what changed you mind but it only looks like 2 ppl had booked this trip. So did they cancel what you had booked so you had no choice or what?

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому

      We partnered with Waitukubuli Tours in that they would let us tag along on any available tour that day at no cost because we would be documenting our honest experiences for the internet machine as a form of testimonial. Since no paying customers booked the snorkel, we were down to joining the two folks on the hike or the two folks for the city tour, and we went with the more adventurous option, ha ha... but we're so glad that we did it!! :D

    So much to say but I'm not saying it again(LOL)... When ever you go into a "rain forest" you must bring a poncho or an umbrella...next time you visit Puerto Rico try the "El Yunque" rain forest state park, much better prepared to walk around and beautiful as that one in Dominica.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  4 роки тому +2

      True! As we said in the intro talky bit, we didn't know we were doing a rainforest hike until the day before, ha ha... we had intended to go snorkeling in Dominica!! :P
