Well of course being at sea I am lost to day and time, so Panama Canal is tomorrow, today we are in Costa Rica! I will publish more pictures soon. We are going down a river on a boat (talked Dawn out of the zip line) into the jungle. That way I can take more [...]
Not too much going on yesterday or today – pretty much being a beach bum, on my third book and almost done with that. Two people from WGTS just yelled at me for checking work email and copied Dawn on that email so now I better be careful Went swimming in the salt-water pool which [...]
Well Cozumel ended up being where we docked and Dawn signed us up for an excursion over near Playo Del Carmen at a place called Xcaret Eco-Archeological Park. So now Dawn is no long allowed to pick excursions. It was a man made park that had some neat things, so we enjoyed ourselves, except it [...]
Tonight was formal night at dinner so Dawn got dolled up, and well I got away with my standard suit and tie (pheww I hate tuxes). They mix between Casual, Informal, and Formal. Hal got himself in trouble with the waiter for cracking too many jokes so he had to wear the Dunce cap he [...]
Today we were at sea all day. Mostly Dawn and I sat on the deck and read. Dawn hid under the canopy in the morning, where I finally told her we would be laying in the sun! So we ate Lunch and went back out on the deck in the sun. Dawn dragged me to [...]
We took some pictures on the deck at night and enjoyed a little walk after dinner. But we were so tired from traveling, that we hit the library of course, especially to get our bags under the weight limit I had to leave 3 hardback books at home, so much for finishing my Blue Ocean [...]
Dawn’s suitcases had arrived before our drill, but mine hadn’t. All I had was jeans and a yucky shirt. Just as we got ready to go my suitcase arrived, so I flash changed into slacks and a sportshirt (informal dining tonight). Dawn looked gorgeous. We had nice seating by a window and got to see [...]
We went on deck and watched all the people and walked around the upper decks. Galveston is an ugly harbor, but to be expected. We were amazed by how many of the historic buildings were there. They really rebuilt or survived after that big Hurricane in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s (forgot the date, but watched [...]
Finally made it to the docks and there is where customer service reigned supreme. Got booked in, embarked onto the ship! Everyone was so nice, and our room is on the same floor as where we entered. It has a big window and we can see the ship nicely. Dawn’s mom tried to upgrade us [...]
What a day, it began at 2:45am. Andy was a bit upset at being left at home, but we left, got the airport on time, and made our flight. The flight from Dallas to Houston was delayed a bit. Ironically by fog because it left from Dulles (we left from BWI). Once in Houston we [...]
