DOCKED AT ST THOMAS

Yesterday morning we got up at 5:30 to get to the New Orleans airport. No problem! Then it hit us as we drove into long term parking........no shuttle! LONG walk pulling luggage wore these old folks out... Then took a long time to go through a short line. Not too fond of this airport! Tampa airport was wonderful. Built in the round with all the eating places and shops in the middle with ceiling to floor windows on the outside and wide walkways......80 people on our New Orleans flight transferred to the San Juan flight.....yep, all cruisers. Others were already on the flight! It had been raining in San Juan, but the sun welcomed us. However, we had another LONG walk to get to our transfer and walked a lot more to get on the ship. These people need to figure out the shortest way from point A to point B. We have never sailed away at 10:00 at night before so that was odd that we had been to the welcome show, had safety drill at 9:30. Was ready for bed, but still had to unpack. Monte headed up top to watch the Atlanta-New Orleans football game on the outside screen. We have been to St Thomas before, so decided to take it easy today. In fact, that is what we do every day! 

Have had a nice rain this afternoon and sun shining again. Sharing a picture of St Thomas and the wonderful gift we received in our cabin........2 big bottles of water! Thank You Carnival!!

So this catches you up a little bit on our journey, so until later........
