Spring Vacation Days 3 and 4

-

On Sunday Day 3, our group met up at the port to board The Freedom of The Seas. After going through the check-in process, we headed to our cabins to check out our accommodations. Then it was time for our Bon Voyage party on Deck 10 as we headed out to sea.







Day 4 was spent entirely at sea as we cruised to Labadee, a port located on the northern coast of Haiti. As a service to our fellow passengers, we made sure to QC the pool bar by testing various selections, including but not limited to, the drink of the day. After a thorough examination we concluded that the ice was safe.

Monday night was the first formal dinner of the cruise. There were a couple of us that did not attend, myself included. Instead, we opted for casual dining in one of the ships smaller restaurants. The majority of our group did go however, and they looked marvelous.

Rizzo! The trip was organized by our motorcycle buddies Mr. & Mrs. Moto (that's their mototorcyle name) and their family. They were nice enough to invite us along. One couple in the group had an amazing stateroom that they were generous enough to let the group use as a gathering place.

Hi Rubye Jean - It was a great time. I think the Pina Coladas were my favorite drink on the ship. Probably about only 500 calories each. And yes, the casual dining worked for me too.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

What's A Girl To Do About Packing?

Salsa Shark I'm going on vacation in a few weeks to some place warm. Thought it might be a good idea today to try on my shorts. All of them, except for four pairs, somehow shrunk in my drawer over the winter. So off to the mall I went. I picked up a few pairs of shorts, along with a big new suitcase. Can somebody please tell me when a suitcase started costing between $200 and $350? Who needs ballistic nylon encasing their bathing suit and suntan lotion? Apparently a lot of folks do because the suitcases I saw could withstand any sort of attack, foreign or domestic. Nice to know if, God forbid, the plane goes down, my underwear will remain intact inside my Samsonite. I better be careful what I pack. Somethings are better not found. I finished off my evening with dinner at a Mexican restaurant. That's when the Salsa Shark appeared. If only I had handy my new suitcase that doubles as a shark cage. Oh well, maybe I can try that feature while on vacation.
