Home from the Sea

Returning home from the sea is different now than when I was in the USN of course, but it was a great cruise and a lot of fun with the family. Our stateroom:

This is the interior of our stateroom

The rooms were nice and well cared for. WE had the do not disturb sign out most of the time (Not for the usual reasons, LOL).  We are conservative and don't care too much about being fawned  over. WE can use a towel and wash cloth more than once! If you would like, the steward will do your room like this every day.  

This is our crew going aboard:

This is our family, minus Corey and his kids who live in Utah & Oregon.  It was not possible for them to make it last year when the cruise was set up.

The actual trip did not go off as planned.  What is that old adage? The best laid plans of mice and men....  The Sunday they had hoped to go to Disney, the park closed at 6PM for special groups to enjoy the park.  So together they decided to make the trip to Disney upon our return.  So some of them did that yesterday.

Back to the beginning, once everyone was here we went out to eat.  Great Grand daughters Elsie Mae (from Utah & 7yrs old) and Stella (3yrs old from North Carolina) got reaquainted.  They hit it off perfectly! We ate then the Balloon lady came around, of course every kid must have a balloon.

I choose both girls, they were absolutely sweet. No jealousy between the two and they stuck together like glue the whole cruise.  It was sorta nice, each parent could give the other a little break.

 Elsie chose an Owl and Stella chose an Elephant.


So the theme was set, the girls became the best of friends even with the difference in their ages.

My system is still messed up for me, I had hoped it would heal itself while I was gone, but not a chance.

It was a 5 day cruise, we visited Georgetown in the Cayman Islands first. The Caymans are South of Cuba.  Then we headed about directly west for Cozumel, Mexico for a day, then back toward TAmpa Florida.

More on the cruise in the next couple days.  We will remain in the Orlando vicinity for the next few days. At this posting we have heard that everyone is back home Except Mark, Sherece and Stella.  According to their time frame they should be home by now.
