For my birthday, Kevin made a lovely pancake breakfast and announced that we'd be spending the night at True Blue Bay, one of the island's nicest resorts. So we packed an overnight bag and headed over. We arrived just in time for lunch and we had a delicious meal at the Dodgy Dock restaurant, overlooking the bay. We splurged and ordered the specialty cocktails - a True Blue Bay Lemonade for me and a True Blue Margarita for Kevin. In the spirit of the resort theme, both drinks were electric blue and very tasty. Our room overlooked the bay and one of the pools; it was nice to swim in freshwater for once. For dinner we got dressed up (well, as dressed up as cruisers ever get) and headed over to La Luna, one of the top restaurants in Grenada. The restaurant overlooked the Morne Rouge beach and the dinner was fabulous - yummy tempura shrimp, tenderloin with porcini cream sauce, and profiteroles because it's not a birthday dinner until you've had a sinful dessert.
When we got back to the boat the next day, I discovered to my surprise that my birthday wasn't over. Our friends Linda, Ginette, and Barb had borrowed the key from Kevin and decorated the boat with balloons and streamers! They had also put some champagne in the fridge along with some delicious poached pears. It was such an unexpected surprise, I was really touched. So my birthday this year was full of wonderful surprises. Almost makes me forget that I'm getting older!
