There aren't enough good words to describe how good the cruise was. I'll attempt to post a few pics here & at facebook. Some highlights: Derick & family spent the night with me in the trailer before the cruise. The girls had so much fun in the bunk beds!
Cruise day 1: the grandsons spent the first 2 nights with me. I foolishly laid my glasses on the bed & Houston accidently knelt on them, popping out both lenses. Luckily I had my new prescription sunglasses so I looked like a blues brother for the rest of the trip. Day 2: weather was chilly so the kids spent lots of time in the hot tub. Thought they were gonna cook! For dinner each night the kids had pizza & french fries; it was a terrific dining experience with all of them.
Did a glass bottom boat tour sighting sharks, huge grouper and many colorful fish. Twas windy & cool. Next day we went to the beach at Wyndom resort and had a ball. The buffet there was great. On the last day we were at sea & the weather was perfect: 72, sunny & no breeze. That night the full ,moon lit up the world!
Left the ship in good time & went to get my glasses fixed: it took 5 mins. & they were good as new. After setting up went for a long scooter ride down A1A. The cycle dudes are such snobs. I was the only Vespa I saw & got several smiling waves from motorists.
Last night had king mackeral & corn on the cob from my grill. Sat out in shorts & tee shirt cooking & watching the full moon. I'm getting used to this lifestyle very quickly. Mastering this little keyboard may take longer.
Thanks for checking in on me. Now that my mobile internet is working I hope to post every day or 2. Stay warm!

Way to go, Fred! Thanks for posting the photos. My holidays sucked. Read my blog.
ReplyDeleteBlues Brother?? Come on man you look like a Blues Father! :-) Nice pix. Post more. Sorry the doctors and lawyers on their Harleys won't wave. Maybe you will meet a nice Italian girl who can appreciate a real "Scooter Man".
