    We are sitting in the terminal at Fort Lauderdale, awaiting our flight back to Washington, D.C., after our ship returned early this morning.  We had a great time, and got to see a lot of really cool places.  I realize that I am way behind on updates for the trip, but I still have tomorrow and Friday (plus…

    Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have backposted most of the cruise blog entries up to the present.  You can read them here.  They are all tagged as vacation.2008.  I have not yet backposted the wedding day and rehearsal day posts as I haven’t had time to finish them yet.  But…

  • Cruise day 5: Cartagena, Colombia

     …which is probably why we were up well before 6 AM this morning.  That and the fact that the ship set its clock back one hour last night for reasons that were not fully clear to me.  I tried to sleep a little longer, but couldn’t, so up on deck I went to take pictures…

    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…

    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…
