Here we are on the eve of our cruise and we are getting excited to start this new adventure. It sort of feels like a dream and I wonder when I will wake up. Am I really going on a cruise, out on the ocean to places that only seemed real on TV or in books? Yes that is me, nervous, but ready to walk out of my comfort zone, try something new and confront my fear of seasickness. I have purchased lots of ant nausea meds so I am prepared. The fear is reality based as I have had my share of motion sickness and it is not fun. Anyone who gets motion sickness can relate to the overwhelming helplessness you feel when the motion does not stop. I get dizzy thinking about it so it is best I get off that topic. All will be fine I am sure.
Today started off cool but by one o`clock the sun was shining bright and the temperature warm and perfect for an afternoon around the pool. It was a little breezy by the ocean but there were families on the beach, but not too many in the water. We were happy to step out our door and in to the pool as we visited with other guests here and had a few drinks. A lazy afternoon in the sun is as good as anything.
This evening we went out for supper with our Michigan friends to a restaurant on the ocean and while seated by the window overlooking the water we watched the light fade and the sky turn from blue to pink to dark. The stars sparkled in the sky and the water glistened as it caught the light, a perfect setting for the lit up cruise ships that sailed by in the distance. It was a picture to behold. The food and the margaritas were excellent as well.
Tonight we finished sorting clothes and packing for the cruise. I think we are ready as we are going to be. We may not have access to internet as freely as we have had here as it is very expensive on the ship. If we get a chance we will email or post a blog, but we may be out of contact for the week. I will be sure to let everyone know how the cruise went when we return.
Take care all. Will post when I can.
Cheers for now!
