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 👍🏼👍🏼
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
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.
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
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
Jay, i am SO TOTALLY Proud of uou!!! I know i couldnt do that last part either, if even prior hiking. So, I'm very impressed! The owner helping you was amazing! You GO!!! 🎉👏👏👏👌🥰🇺🇸
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
This was a shorter, more refreshing part of the tour, ha ha... we definitely crashed in the cabin for a few hours once we got back on the ship, hah!! :D
WOW that is absolutely beautiful. Pretty sure I would have made it down to the falls. I know for a FACT I would not have made it out. Geeezzz that looks treacherous. Glad neither of you were injured. So proud of both of you.
I must say it is a beautiful waterful, but watching i felt so sorry for you guys, because you were not prepared for this at all. You are two humble sweet people!
We were so proud! Yes, Dom got to relax in the van while we were hiking... dang lazy turtle, haaaah... but he lives on our recording room shelf now. :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.
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...
You guys really did an amazing job and you kept up that positive attitude throughout. Dominica looks beautiful .thanks for the travel tips and commentary . It's nice that you ended up going with a pretty small group too
Congrats! This is how I felt when we did Dunns River Falls Jamaica. We are "fluffy cruisers" but I wanted to go for so long. It was so totally worth it! Now we have a new destination to check out thanks to you guys. Great vlog!
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
Yesssss Lovely Dominica,Land of many waterfalls/Rivers/. Welcome to the Nature Isle of the Caribbean (my Island)Lush Green an Unspoiled.Witukubuli Tall is Body. Yay 👏🏽👏🏽 You guys did it!!!!! I've been to Middleham several times and yes it's a Hike🏃♂️. One thing for sure after this hike No need to exercise for a week LOL 😂😂😂 Glad you all enjoyed and you're most welcome back anytime 👍🏼
Whew, we had quite the adventure but loved it! Tomorrow's video is a quick dip at Titou Gorge before we head back to the ship, ha ha... much more refreshing than the hike!! :P
You guys are my heroes. That hike is not something I can do. Thanks for showing us the beautiful sights I would otherwise not see. Congrats on Voice and steel pan.
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
Middleham Falls is beautiful and as Dee said “totally worth it.” You both had quite a workout and a spin too! Awesome guide to find Jay a walking stick. Proud moment for both of you. Thanks so much for sharing.
Definitely something I’ll be looking into! You guys did so awesome and I’m so proud of y’all! Also surprised there was no big GnR reference from Jay like the one time 😂 but congrats nonetheless! 👏🏼🏆
Wow!! I’m very very very proud of you both! I’m over 6 feet tall and 60% percent out of shape. Fluffy too. I know I couldn’t do it due to other stuff. But in the past I did. It’s soooooooo draining. Excellent job Jay!!!! Dee, you did a fantastic job too!
When the video ended I was like-Awe dang a cliff hanger! Can’t wait til the next one! Good job guys! No wonder you were able to maintain the weigh loss on mega vaca. You burned off ANY extra in Dominica!
Oh it was a very strong whiff, ha ha... I thought they were going to have to call in a helicopter and lift me out at some points, ha ha... but we did it!! :P
Wow! What a view! You two did awesome! I may be young but I don’t think I’m in the shape at the moment to go that far! Awesome job and great perseverance. I would’ve stuck with a beach or something but sometimes you’ve gotta get adventurous
Wow,Jay I am impressed, I could not have done that hike! You should be proud!!! Great job!❤👍 we hiked to Trafalger falls when we went,that was hard enough,but this is much harder!
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! 👏🏽 👏🏽
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
I'm so proud of you both! I love how you keep it real. Y'all are such an inspiration!! Thank you for the vlogs of this hike. I know I would never be able to hike it! Love y'all and your vlogs!
Wow Jay, so proud of you. I would have got down to the water that you had to go through and turned back. Beautiful waterfall. What happened to the other couple? Did they not do the hike?
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.
So I guess I won’t be doing that hike with my mobility scooter!! Nope!! Did you have to sign a waiver beforehand?? Looked like it was the type of hike that experienced hikers would enjoy!
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
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!
Oh Jay!!! You jumped right in there and did the dog gone thing. I'm so proud of you (happy tears). All outside of your comfort and stuff. You inspired me. Dee you fid good too, but I expected you to. Lol Jay and I are the same. Not your typical Dee/Jay excursion, but beautiful.
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?
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.
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
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
True... no real life turtle from St. Thomas, but picking up "Dom" was close enough, ha ha... :P
Well I’m glad I got to see it through your eyes, because I will never hike there to see it. You guys did a great job.
Thankee thankee! Definitely something we're glad we did at least once, ha ha... :D
Dee, awesome job vlogging. Y’all just give me so much courage to get out of my comfort zone!!!!!!
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
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.
True! I just kept thinking of my cozy bed and hot (although short) shower, ha ha... good times!! :P
OMG so proud of both of you!!! Thank you for sharing, my knees would not allow me to do this hike...
Thankee! It felt great to have accomplished something so adventurous for us!! :D
Wow, that was a tough hike. Congrats to you guys on doing it. I won’t be signing up for that.
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
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
Jay, i am SO TOTALLY Proud of uou!!! I know i couldnt do that last part either, if even prior hiking. So, I'm very impressed! The owner helping you was amazing! You GO!!! 🎉👏👏👏👌🥰🇺🇸
That made my day , been a few days between Smiles but the quote, “ I thought this was snorkelling excursion “. brought much happiness 🥰🥰😂😂
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
Wow! You guys did great, especially not being properly prepared. Beautiful.
We were all set for snorkeling, ha ha... but we adapted as best we could!! :P
Jay.. I'm proud of you both! Also that was Dee's first solo spin. Dee you did a great job on the vlogging while Jay was catching up. I love Parodeejay
Hah, she saved the vlog that day, ha ha... I was too worried about getting up and down that mountain to break out the camera and talk much... :P ~Jay
I can't believe there is a second part to this adventure. I would have been ready for a nap after that hike!
This was a shorter, more refreshing part of the tour, ha ha... we definitely crashed in the cabin for a few hours once we got back on the ship, hah!! :D
I know I couldn’t do this hike. Good work Dee and Jay.
We felt super accomplished afterwards, ha ha... woohoo!! :D
WOW that is absolutely beautiful. Pretty sure I would have made it down to the falls. I know for a FACT I would not have made it out. Geeezzz that looks treacherous. Glad neither of you were injured. So proud of both of you.
Thankee! We definitely had an awesome adventure and a challenge, ha ha... :P
Way to go, Jay and Dee! That was one heck of a hike but totally worth the experience and the views.
It really was, ha ha... so glad we conquered that hike!! :P
Way to go guys!! That looked rough but very worth it in the end!
Definitely a tough hike but super awesome in the end!! :D
Yeah!!! It's a wonderful hike and the Gorge, so very special :) thanks guys
Thanks so much for the amazing tour! What a challenge, but we felt so great to see such a beautiful place!! :D
@@parodeejay Thanks for the plug. See you all soon! :) next hike; The Boiling Lake Challenge
That is awesome! Great job both of you! Slippery is the worst! Just beautiful!!
That was a hike and a half, ha ha... but we were super proud!! :P
Wow, very different excursion for ya'll. And ya'll DID IT WONDERFUL!!!!
Thankee! Super different for us, ha ha... but an awesome experience overall!! :D
I must say it is a beautiful waterful, but watching i felt so sorry for you guys, because you were not prepared for this at all. You are two humble sweet people!
We ended up making it work, despite our limited selection of shoes, ha ha... it was a great day overall!! :P
I am very proud of you Jay!!!!! I have balance issues and couldn't have done this
My balance isn't the greatest either, but that was a great experience to have accomplished!! :D
Great job guys! You did it and you should be proud of yourselves!!! Hope Dom is doing well in his new home... ;)
We were so proud! Yes, Dom got to relax in the van while we were hiking... dang lazy turtle, haaaah... but he lives on our recording room shelf now. :P
Fantastic job getting through that hike. Beautiful place.
So worth it, but that was a hike and a half, ha ha... :P
Love these type videos. You really get to see what the island is like. I am proud of Jay and you. I have to admit I would have been sitting with Jay.
Thanks so much! I'm surprised I made it as far as I did... whew!! :P ~Jay
Congrats Dee and Jay!
Thanks so much!! :D
I think you guys did an awesome job with the hike. Dee you did great on clogging. Jay, you can be proud of your accomplishment on the hike.
Thanks so much! Yes, she stepped right in and recorded all the best footage that day, ha ha... :D
Loved today’s video. Beautiful!
Thanks so much! We love how green Dominica is!! :D
Then you would love Norway 😊
Jay you are a champion 👏
Top of the world, woohoo!! :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 .

I agree looks great through your eyes ,but we will never be doing that hike, thanks for the video, we are proud of you guys, real troopers 👍
Haaah, thanks so much! We're glad we conquered that mountain, ha ha... :D
Oh my gosh, Jay I'm soooo proud you did this! I wouldn't have made it at all!! Great job to you both! 💖
Thankee thankee!! :D
Just imagine Jay! You paid for that hike! You did a great job, both of you! Thanks for the experience!
We were so proud of ourselves for pulling off that hike... woohoo!! :D
You guys really did an amazing job and you kept up that positive attitude throughout. Dominica looks beautiful .thanks for the travel tips and commentary . It's nice that you ended up going with a pretty small group too
Thanks so much! What a challenge, but we felt so good afterwards, ha ha... :P
Congrats! This is how I felt when we did Dunns River Falls Jamaica. We are "fluffy cruisers" but I wanted to go for so long. It was so totally worth it! Now we have a new destination to check out thanks to you guys. Great vlog!

Glad you all enjoyed and you're most welcome back anytime 👍🏼
Whew, we had quite the adventure but loved it! Tomorrow's video is a quick dip at Titou Gorge before we head back to the ship, ha ha... much more refreshing than the hike!! :P
You guys are my heroes. That hike is not something I can do. Thanks for showing us the beautiful sights I would otherwise not see. Congrats on Voice and steel pan.

Middleham Falls is beautiful and as Dee said “totally worth it.” You both had quite a workout and a spin too! Awesome guide to find Jay a walking stick. Proud moment for both of you. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hubert was the maaan for sure! Knew where to step to not slip, how to best traverse certain sections, finding that stick, super cool!! :D
Congrats on doing that hike, I would have never made it🎉🎊
That was quite the challenge, but worth it, ha ha!! :D
You guys did great! Totally impressed! And it looked so beautiful but glad to be enjoying it on my couch😉
Hah, thanks so much! We definitely had the adventure that day!! :D
Definitely something I’ll be looking into! You guys did so awesome and I’m so proud of y’all! Also surprised there was no big GnR reference from Jay like the one time 😂 but congrats nonetheless! 👏🏼🏆
Hah, that might have been last time in Dominica... welcome to the jungle!! :P
Wow, great job on that hike guys!
We were dang proud of ourselves that day, ha ha... :P
God bless you both! I couldn’t do it! You both did great 🎉
Woohoo, thankee thankee!! :D
I’m late to the party with you guys, but OMG I love the honesty, humour and you guys! ❤
You can definitely cross that off your bucket list!!! Wow!!!!!! Awesome spin Dee!!!
I don't remember if I had "grueling hike" on the bucket list, but it's crossed off there now... woohoo!! :P
Awesome hike you guys! Thanks for sharing.
We had quite the adventurous day, ha ha... whew!! :D
Awesome hike, looks beautiful :)
That was an amazing experience for sure, hah!! :D
Wow!! I’m very very very proud of you both! I’m over 6 feet tall and 60% percent out of shape. Fluffy too. I know I couldn’t do it due to other stuff. But in the past I did. It’s soooooooo draining. Excellent job Jay!!!! Dee, you did a fantastic job too!
When the video ended I was like-Awe dang a cliff hanger! Can’t wait til the next one! Good job guys! No wonder you were able to maintain the weigh loss on mega vaca. You burned off ANY extra in Dominica!
Hah, we wanted to include as much of the hike footage as possible, so we had to bump Titou Gorge to tomorrow. Definitely got some exercise though!! :P
Good job Jay!
and also a good job Dee
Thankee thankee!! :D
How fun! I love a good hike!
We definitely got our steps in on this excursion, hah... but it was great!! :D
Wow....great job by the two of you...be very proud of yourself :)
We were both super proud and super tired, hah!! :P
That's a good work out. Proud of you Jay for doing it.
Woohoo, thanks! Definitely a good workout, but some awesome views along the way!! :D
LOL Jay! There is a strong whiff of "What have I let myself in for?" in this video ;-)
Oh it was a very strong whiff, ha ha... I thought they were going to have to call in a helicopter and lift me out at some points, ha ha... but we did it!! :P
Wow! What a view! You two did awesome! I may be young but I don’t think I’m in the shape at the moment to go that far! Awesome job and great perseverance. I would’ve stuck with a beach or something but sometimes you’ve gotta get adventurous
Thankee! We were so glad that we took the chance on tackling that hike... whew!! :D
I’d be up sitting with Jay trying to order a margarita!
That's what they needed on that hike... bar service!! :P
That's right 👍 no one left behind, especially if it's your husband. Lol......
👏👏👏 Proud of you you both
Ohana means family! No one gets left behind or forgotten in Dominica!! :P
SWEATY! 🤣🤣🤣 Dee, you did an amazing job! I’m so proud of both of y’all! You truly inspire my hubs and me to do more adventurous stuff!
Super sweaty, ha ha... such a feeling of accomplishment though... woohoo!! :D
you guys rocked it! rough hike! loved the impromptu Deevlogs!
She was vlogging and spinning like a champ, ha ha... :P
Wow,Jay I am impressed, I could not have done that hike! You should be proud!!! Great job!❤👍 we hiked to Trafalger falls when we went,that was hard enough,but this is much harder!
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.
Ah, that's awesome! Such a great feeling to know you've conquered something adventurous, ha ha... :D
OMGOSH guys you did So well, I couldn’t have done that !!!! What an accomplishment!! Proud of you 👍🏼
That was such an adventure in terms of what we normally do in port, ha ha... but it was great!! :D
So proud of you both, your honesty is so wonderful, Jay you are awesome, I am like you🥰
Wow that’s amazing you two!!!!
Such a cool adventure, even though it was a struggle, ha ha... :P
hey guys!! we love Dominica ! we did water tubing through the rain forest ! it is so beautiful there, Congratulations on your hike to the falls!
Ah, that's cool! We've done tubing in Belize but hadn't even thought about that for Dominica. The natural aspects of the island are amazing!! :D
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Good Job Jay👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I would have died doing that hike!
Toughest excursion ever, but so glad we did it!! :D
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!!!

It was definitely an adventure, ha ha... but looking back, it was such an awesome thing to have accomplished!! :D
Good hiking job Jay....nice turtle you got there Dee😁👍
That was a hike and a half, I tell ya, ha ha... :P
Ohh so nice of you for naming your turtle after me lol 😂
You noticed! Ha ha... funny... :P
Go you two! Great hike
Such an adventure for us, but so worth it!! :D
Hello Dee , don’t think Scott from “ Scott Singer Cruises “. Would have enjoyed that trip 🥰🥰😂😂
While you were taking a break a UA-cam commercial popped up..."you need a break? KitKat!" 😂 Good one UA-cam 👍
Funny! If only it had been a Coffee Crisp commercial, ha ha... but I guess the Kit Kat slogan did make more sense... :P
This will get you kids energized In Dominica rock On
i slip on my front porch in sketchers!! Good for you Dee
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
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
Kudos to you both for the hike! That makes some of the hikes I've done with my Cub Scout pack look pretty tame in comparison! Definitely not for me!
That was definitely a challenge, but we were so proud of ourselves that day, ha ha… :P
Nice hike. Glad to see your video - I don’t think it is for my wife’s knees !
It was definitely a struggle, hah... and my joints are all working fine at the moment. Such a cool experience, but a tough hike for us!! :P
I am proud of you 👏. 🇩🇲
I'm so proud of you both! I love how you keep it real. Y'all are such an inspiration!! Thank you for the vlogs of this hike. I know I would never be able to hike it! Love y'all and your vlogs!
Thanks so much! We definitely had quite the Dominica adventure, ha ha... :D
Wow Jay, so proud of you. I would have got down to the water that you had to go through and turned back. Beautiful waterfall. What happened to the other couple? Did they not do the hike?
good job Jay
Thanks so much! Adventure mode, activate!! :D
Dee you are a natural vlogger!!!!! Do it more often. We have heard enough of Jay lol just kidding Jay.
Oh mercy, if both Dee and I started running our mouths at the same rate... the world would be in trouble!! :P ~Jay
Wow you guys are amazing, I don’t know if I could have made it. 😳
It was a tough one, but we felt so good about it after we finished... woohoo!! :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.
We definitely needed some "hearty breakfast" fuel for this excursion, ha ha... funny!! :D
So I guess I won’t be doing that hike with my mobility scooter!! Nope!! Did you have to sign a waiver beforehand?? Looked like it was the type of hike that experienced hikers would enjoy!
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

So proud of you Jay!
Thankee thankee!! :D
All the best places a inaccesible for disabled people. It looks amazing
Oh Jay!!! You jumped right in there and did the dog gone thing. I'm so proud of you (happy tears). All outside of your comfort and stuff. You inspired me. Dee you fid good too, but I expected you to. Lol Jay and I are the same. Not your typical Dee/Jay excursion, but beautiful.
Haaah, that was such a challenge but such a feeling of accomplishment to have pulled it off!! :D
Was there another ship in port that day which made you guys dock at the other pier?
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.
I wonder where they'd put a third ship if that ever happens?
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?
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
I have a lot if family from Dominica.
That is one excursion that I would not take even if they paid me. Jay you’re a wonderful husband.
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.
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
🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hope you don't fall and scrape your knees in this episode
Falling did occur, but the knees were saved this time around!! :P
Amazing job on that hike!!
We were SO proud of ourselves, ha ha... whew!! :P
