Gary and I just got back from our Western Caribbean cruise and it was something! There were both good and bad things about it, but the good far outweighed the bad. The only wrinkle was two fold: 1) the kid behind Gary in the flight between Atlanta and Peoria, kicked the back of Gary's chair non-stop until about 20 minutes before we landed. He was slamming the window shutter open and close alot! Then the little darlin' started puking the last 20 minutes. Oh what fun!
2) There were several children, very young children on this flight. Around 2 - 3 years old - 3 of them. Two of them coughed non-stop throughout the flight and the neither Mom nor Dad taught them to cover their face when coughing. Thus, I now have some kind of chest congestion this morning. Not feeling too bad, but I have a bad cough and my throat is scratchy. Yeah! We each got something.
Anyway, back to the trip. Chloe had a good time with her friends at Play All Day Doggie Daycare and hotel. And yes, she did play all day, every day!
We had beautiful weather. The ship was huge! 6,000 people on board with us. Our cabin steward took good care of us - coffee and juice and a fruit plate every morning! The thing I was most impressed by was how the captain (or Master) of the ship could park that thang so gently! No banging against the pier - no cussing, no problems! I hate to think what I would do trying to get the ship into port! Watch out everyone!
We had a balcony facing the ocean. The Caribbean is a beautiful blue and I do mean blue! And clear! One day we saw a school of dolphins swimming next to us and leaping. I think they were saying hello! Didn't get a picture of them because I was afraid to leave the balcony and miss them!
It was warm and very humid at the ports we stopped at: Labadee Haiti, Falmouth Jamaica, and Cozumel Mexico. But it wasn't too bad. We went on excursions at each port, which in hindsight, I don't think we will do again. At least not at every port.
That's all I'm telling you for now. More to come in future posts. Just wanted to tantalize you with my adventures!
Last call to sign up for my April classes, which start next week! Contact me by Friday if you haven't signed up, but wish to do so. The trip was only 1 week, but it feels like I've been gone a lot longer than that! Hope I remember how to make these cards and how to cut paper!
Have a blessed day!
Sheryl
