Day 5, October 16, Thursday, Beautiful Bay of Fundy
We will be docking around 9 A.M. The time changed from 6 to 7 A.M. Clocks moved up one hour.
We ate breakfast in the Garden Cafe. There I ate scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage, cheese, and water.
Everyone on the Beautiful Bay of Fundy excursion meets in the Manhattan room @ 9:30 A.M.
We left the ship and went into port @ 10:15 A.M. We loaded onto the bus. Our driver was Terry Finnegan, and our guide was Paul.
Our first stop was the Cave Restaurant in St Martin's, where we were served seafood Chowder. (The food was delicious.) and a cookie for dessert.
The famous creamy Chowder comes with scallops, lobster, haddock, and a biscuit.
To find the Cave Restaurant, drive through Saint Martin Village until you reach the harbor. Take the covered bridge, and the restaurant is the second restaurant on the right, where the caves are.
The tide was low, so several people walked down to the caves. It was lots of rocks and wet. I was wearing tennis shoes and didn't want to get my feet wet, so I just walked to the edge.
We stopped at the Visitor Center at Fundy Footpath and walked along the Big Salmon River to the Bay of Fundy swinging bridge, which was closed.

In Saint Martin's, we stopped to take pictures of the two covered bridges we passed on our way to the restaurant. There was an ice cream shop where everyone bought an ice cream. We purchased a peanut butter chocolate waffle cone.
The tide was still out, and all the boats that were docked were on dry land.
We rode back to Saint John, stopping on a hill overlooking the town, where we could see our ship.
Here, everyone got off the bus to take pictures.
The bus took us back to the port, and there we shopped at the Container Village.
We loaded back onto the ship in time for dinner. We ate dinner in the Garden Cafe. I ate a taco with sour cream, avocado dip, chips, and lemon cake.
At 8P.M., we walked down to the Effie Store to collect two more charms, and we won a watch at the Watch store.
I bought two more charms for my bracelet.
We returned to our room, took a shower, and went to bed.

Day 6: October 17, Friday: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
We slept until 7 A.M.
We did not have an excursion planned for today. We thought we would explore the town.
We ate breakfast in the Savor Dining room @ 9:00 A.M. I ordered a parfait, a bagel with salmon.
After breakfast, we went ashore, stopping at the Immigration Research Area.
I have family who immigrated to Canada, so I wanted to see what I could find.
Some of my family came before 1865, and there weren't many records before then.
I did find others that came later.
We walked down the Boardwalk on Pier 21, past the Immigration Museum, train car, and historic markers about immigration.
We walked past the children's play area, many stores, shops, and food areas. We walked all the way to the Maritime Museum, which we visited the last time we were in Halifax.
We stopped at Crème Cafe, Cakes, Cocktails ( a distinctive restaurant united by excellence in cuisine and atmosphere) for passion fruit cheesecake, located at 341 Lower Water Street, Unit 123, Halifax, NS, B3J 3R3.
We walked back to the ship and at 6:30 P.M., we ate dinner in the Manhattan Dining Room, where we ordered two lobster tails, creamed potatoes from Cagney's restaurant for $25.00.
Hubby ordered shrimp Pasta, and I gave him one of the lobster tails.
We went to the Effie Store, where we collected another charm, then we went to the Atrium area to watch a game show. The Wild Cards.

Day 7: October 18, Saturday, Sea Day
We ate breakfast in the Taste Dining Room (deck 6), where I ordered a spinach, mushroom omelet, a bagel with cream cheese, and a strawberry parfait.
Hubby ordered three fried eggs, waffles, and toast.
For lunch, we ate fish and chips, a chocolate brownie, and cheesecake at O'Sheehans (deck 7).
After lunch, I went outside. On the first day, it was not cold and wet, so I walked. I walked 3 miles around the ship.
We watched several shows and went to Effie for more charms.
For dinner, we ate at the Garden Cafe, which had the best meal in this area on the cruise: seafood. I got grilled shrimp, corn on the cob, potato wedges, and lemon cake.
From 7-8, we watched Rumors, a tribute to Fleetwood Mack
Packed for the trip home tomorrow.

Breakfast in the Savor Dining Room, where I ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, potatoes, and a strawberry parfait. Went to our room to get our luggage, put black tags on our luggage, and walked to the theater on deck 7 to meet our group for our excursion.
We were the first group to disembark. Our bus was the first on the left as we left the terminal.
Our driver was Harold on bus 760 Provost.
We rode through New York down 59th Street, Columbus Circle, Lincoln Square, Central Park, 49th Street, Times Square, Garment District, 34th Street Penn Station, passed Macy's, Trump Tower, Apple Store, St Patrick's Cathedral, NBC News, Ropckerfellow Center, Hershey's, University of NY, and stopping at the Grand Central Terminal.
We walked through the main Concourse level of Grand Central Terminal to the Summit.

The Summit is a three-level multi-sensory art immersion.
Level 1 is on the 91st observation floor.
Level 2 is on the 92 observation floor, where you are standing in a glass-bottomed ledge extending 1,000 feet over Madison Avenue.
Level 3 is on the 93rd Observation floor, an open-air terrace with views of Manhattan and beyond.
When finished, we rode the elevator down and walked through Grand Central Terminal to the bus.
The bus takes everyone to the airport as we pass through Eugene, Hudson Yards, Chelsea, 34th St, Herald Square, Koreatown, W36th St, and Bryant Park.
We go through security and onto our gate. Our plane is not scheduled to leave until 7:30 P.M. Central Time. Our gate location changed 4 times while we waited for our flight. 60,61,69,75.
Confirmation GEIC WW LGA to Hsv, Canadair Bombardier Regional Jet 900 for 2 hours 40 minutes.
We ate lunch at Jimmy John's: a submarine sandwich, cookies, and Cheetos.
We sat in the dining area where we met a professor from Renoke, NC. She said she had two daughters.
We found several reclining seats in the sunny area, and that is where we sat until it was time to go to our gate.
We boarded the plane at 6:50 P.M., arrived at Huntsville Airport around 10:30 P.M., collected our luggage, and started our trip home.
There aren't many places to eat that late, so we stopped at Buc-ee's in Athens, where we bought a BBQ sandwich, chips, and Coke to share. It was very late when we arrived home.
