Day 2---Off to the Caribbean

End of line...2 1/2 hrs to ship from here

Another exciting day getting to where we're going! We slept for 12 hours---I haven't slept for 12 hours straight in I don't know how many years, but after getting up at 3 AM we were both ready to sleep by 5 PM California time.

Suitcases for the ship

Had a nice buffet breakfast at the hotel, then took a van to the ship, where queue has been raised to a fine art. First, the line to get into the building (think hot and humid already), then the line in the building to go through the security check (machines and pat downs), then the line to go through the passport check and room key acquisition, THEN the wait to get on the ship, which was the longest of all. Finally, on the ship.

Seems like a very nice cruise line, enough room to store things and a miniscule balcony which is worth every penny extra spent to have it. Nice to stick your head outside into the warm and humid air. We had a get together with the quilting group with free margaritas (nice) then went to dinner, also nice...prime rib with veggies and potato. Now it's off to bed early, as we're both tired again. At least we don't have to worry about getting anywhere tomorrow.

First dinner on the ship

SORRY ABOUT NO PICS, BUT THE INTERNET HERE IS PAINFULLY SLOW.  I WILL TRY TO FIND A TIME OF DAY WHEN IT IS FASTER.  ENJOYING MYSELF, ALREADY HAVE MY NEXT CRUISE PICKED OUT :-)  Now back at home, will catch up with pictures now!
