WE - ARE - GOING - WHERE???????

Well, yesterday was interesting to say the least. The drive from Texas City to Galveston was short and of course we drove the sea wall. Beach was clean and really nice. The road is always crowded, so when we heard a siren behind us, decided to pull in to a convience store, and guess what? ambulance pulled in behind us. Oh well. Nothing serious.

The "getting on" the ship was entirely different from any other trip but went quickly. One of the new things is that to use the electricity in your room, you put your room key in a tray. Waiting to see who gets locked out first.

Left Galveston about 4:00 and about 5:45 we were told we were returning to Galveston. Medical emergency. Just before we docked back in Galveston, we were told there was another medical situation and another guest was getting off. Sooo about 7:30 we were on our way again. Then smooth sailing.

Welcome aboard show was as usual really good, but wasn't until 10:30, but guess what? I made it.

Just wanted to check in and will try to post pics tonight. This ship is loaded for kids as there is a water park with water slides, mini golf, rope course, pool table and foos ball and probably some things we don't even know of. Adults have special areas too and more seating than on any other ship to just enjoy reading and sleeping.

so until later
