After checking in at the Long Beach Hilton, I decided to go out for dinner. I picked a place in the Thai district. I’m going to walk there so I’ll get to see some of downtown Long Beach along the way.

Good Morning. We’re docking in Coxen Hole, Roatan today. I’m going to the Gumbalimba Animal Reserve & Sanctuary.

In Roatan, I normally use the free beach when I’m with Carnival. Since we aren’t going to be in the Carnival port this time, I’m using this opportunity to do something different. I booked Gumbalimba Preserve & Animal Sanctuary. That’s an $85 tour that I paid $35 for after…
