    We were up early in case we would be able to put into port in Aruba.  But, as we ate breakfast, the captain announced that Omar, which had passed through Aruba yesterday as a tropical storm, had been upgraded to a hurricane.  Although we were in no danger (the hurricane was moving away from us–in…

    15 Oct 2008 » 1 min read

     Up before 7 AM and feeling much better, although a little groggy.  The sea seemed calmer this morning there are blue skies and sunshine.  I sat out on the balcony for a little while and then we headed for breakfast.  The Horizon Court was empty at 7 AM, compared to what it was at 9…

  • Cruise day 2: At sea

    14 Oct 2008 » 3 min read

    Up sometime between 7 and 8 AM.  We headed up to the Horizon Court for breakfast and found a nice table at the very front of the ship, so we could watch us plow through choppy seas and overcast skies.  So far the seas on this cruise have been far more choppier than the cruise…

    Our last guests left our suite sometime around 12:30 AM and we managed to get in at least 6 good hours of sleep. We were up around 7 AM and got our things together pretty quickly. Kelly’s parents came by at around 7:30 to get the room key (they were collecting stuff from our room…

  • Under pressure

    10 Oct 2008 » 2 min read

    Boy, we had planned everything out so well for the wedding that I was certain that these last few days would be calm and relaxed; they are anything but.  Lots of last minute errands, lots of people in town, running around.  I can barely catch my breath.  Not in a bad way–it’s just busy. Despite having 7…

  • We’re on vacation!

    09 Oct 2008 » 2 min read

    Up and into work this morning.  It was one of those days that seemed to grow steadily more hectic as the day progressed.  I kept an eye on Doug’s flights, and I headed home around lunchtime to wait for him to arrive.  They got here shortly after noon, and it was really good to see them.  The…

    We drove into work this morning and as we pulled toward the parking lot, I realized that we forgot the parking pass. We had to come home to get it. Fortunately, we live close by. Busy work day today. Trying to wrap stuff up before I head off on vacation. I worked steadily until 2…

    I went to deposit some checks at the local branch of our bank and it turned out the branch was closed because it had been robbed. This is a mall branch. Go figure. After work, Casey took me over to Saturn to pick up my car. When I called earlier in the afternoon, I was…
