Getting ready to get on the damn ship...

These were obviously taken a few days ago as I'm now in Puerto Rico, but the internet is not so bueno in the West Indies!


And of course I had to take a horrible photo of the Statue of Liberty.  But you know, it was actually my first time at seeing it in person, even if it was really far off.  Still pretty exciting to be honest.

To ensure a successful cruise, you must first identify the important areas on the cruise ship.  Area number one is the soft serve ice cream lady!  She rocks!  Sprinkles even...but she left her post at 6p.



After a summer of 100+ degree heat in Tucson I was really looking forward to some cooler temps.  Fortunately NY did not let me down!  Raining and 55f or so.  I loved it!  But apparently I was the only one.

My mother and grandmother.  They are the main reason I went on this cruise.  Unfortunately as we get older we realize that our relatives are also getting older and my not always be as active as we remember.  While they are both doing relatively well right now, it may not be that way forever.
