Beach Time in Grand Cayman

 Spent time at Tiki Beach while in Grand Cayman Island. Beautiful turquoise water,  soft white sand, free lounge chairs, and cold rum punches! Check out the video on what I did next!

Cruise Day!

Finally! March 17th arrived. The day the ship leaves port is called embarkation day. A big Lido deck sail away party took place as all the ships left Port Everglades around 5 pm. Drinks all around! Fun and music and food! We took off exploring the ship and watching all the other cruise ships leave port.

 

Carnival ship off our port side. Got in line behind us. There were eight other ships leaving that day.

 

Rudy likes our stateroom. He was a hit all over the ship. He especially liked going to the Lotus pool deck to sun bathe.

One day to go!

We are leaving for Ft. Lauderdale this morning, March 16th. We are staying at a hotel in Port Everglades. Smith family members are seeing us off! The Coral Princess sails tomorrow at 5 pm!

2 days

Yesterday, I received this large, edible arrangement at work from my three daughters. All kinds of tropical fruit to enjoy before we leave on our cruise. So, breakfast and lunch are taken care of for the next two days! Thank you - Kristin, Caroline, and Melanie. They dipped the pineapple in chocolate and vanilla icing - yum!

3 Days

Going to be tight - but I think everything's going to fit. Still have a few hang up items to add.

On a joyful note * we have a new Pope. Prayers and blessings to Francis 1.

Going to work today and tomorrow. Saturday we leave!

4 Days

Got Allan's bags packed. Everything fit. Will have plenty of shirts, both short and long sleeve, since weather is very unpredictable this time of the year. Next up, my bags!

5 Days

Caught Rudy basking in the sunshine while stretched out on his new beach towel wearing his new shades. Such a spoiled monkey!

10 Days

After all of our cold weather, I am looking forward to spending A LOT of time in cute, skimpy swim wear while basking in the tropical sunshine on the Lido deck of the M/S Coral Princess. Need I say more?

15 Days

Love my sandals! Taking all those pictured above, including extra straps and snaps. Over the top, I know. Don't care! I'll wear them all!
