in Sarnia again after a week on the Carnival Destiny, in the Caribbean.

We had a great time!

Lots of sun, lots of food (didn't need that), lots of sights and some landscape scenery too.
Key West, Grand Caymen, Ocho Rios and Miami.
It was nice to get away, and leave all the real world crap behind, albeit for a short time.

If I ever win the Lotto, Jamaica is where you'll find me. :nanatar:I could learn to like Bob Marley quite easily, I think. Yea Mon.
B Body Victim and his wife came with us, adjoining cabins and a shared balcony. BBV and my wife went swimming with Stingrays.
We met people from all over the world, heard some great dialects & accents. Met a couple from Halifax, and found out the wife grew up about three miles from me in Cape Breton! Small world we live in.
I spent most of the time in a wheelchair - some mobility issues made the chair a neccessity - and was kinda disappointed at the lack of accessibility for handicapped folks, not too mention all the fat-assed people who would run you over getting to the buffets and the elevators. The amount of food wasted was shameful. Thankfully. those assholes were out numbered by the people with clues.
We're frickin' tired today, couldn't access the bus to take us on an Everglades tour in Miami yesterday, so we spent most of the day waiting at the airport. Got back to home last night around 1:30 or so.
Kinda congested from the combo of high temps & humidity, and frigid A/C on the ship.

If you ever get the chance to go to the Caribbean, go.

All rested up and raring to go?

If I could ever get my wife onto a cruise ship, the Caribbean would the first trip.

Sounds nice. Wifey really want's to see the ocean, hopefully someday.

 

[giowest]

The Barf boats just scare the crap out of me. The wife says we fly or forget it:huh:

 

[restoman]

Gio, we hardly felt the ship moving at all. Booze would counteract the rough seas, if there were any.

The cruise was pretty cheap - my wife's income tax return covered it.

It just looks like a really big puddle, not really anything to look at....:huh:

 

[Dr.Jass]

The ocean is just like the Great Lakes, 'cept it's greener and warmer. Oh, and the waves are less violent. Ship captains who've rode both will tell you that last part.

Take her to Milwaukee or Chi-Town and she's got the idea.

True, that. My brother-in-law used to Captain the big ships. He's an inspector now, but his last few years were on lakers and he said he missed the ocean trips because they were smoother sailing..... I think he just liked the long stints away from his wife. :toot:

 

[XLR8R]

So that explains why you didn't answer the door Saturday. I thought you were back Friday.
I will see you tomorrow....

I was refering to all the recent outbreaks of flu like symptoms that seem to plague these floating petri dish's.
My brother in law did a four day cruise from seattle to alaska without a hitch but they were concerned about the food and ventilation.
