Hello,
I am currently posting from the cruise ship Carnival Miracle. This is a sea day for us and tomorrow morning we will be arriving in Cozumel, Mexico. Our cruise director told us this morning that we will be one of the first ships back to Cozumel after hurricane Wilma (I think that was the name of it). We were so excited yesterday as we were boarding the ship. I have waited for this ever since we got off of the boat last year. I love traveling and I always like to be planning a vacation; that way I always have something to look forward to and to work towards. Life is too short not to be able to play and enjoy ourselves. It is my belief that God did not put us on this earth to simply become programmable robots working 9 to 5, getting home and eating supper, watch TV for 3 hours, and going to bed. Enough about that, I could get on a soap box about that.
Let's get back to this cruise that my home based business has afforded me. Last evening we ate in the fine dining room and I had a four course meal including; delicately smoked salmon as an appetizer, fresh greens and tomato salad with cucumbers, for my main course I enjoyed golden crusted coconut tiger shrimp with sweet and sour sauce (delicious), and for desert chocolate mocha champagne cake which was as beautiful as it was delicious. After dinner we went to an after dinner comedy show, which was pretty good. I have heard better but this guy was funny. By that time it was about 11:00 to 11:30 and Carmen and I went to the casino. I consider playing some craps but decided against it instead I sat down beside Carmen and we played video blackjack she lost about $40 I lost $80. Afterwards we went off to bed. In case you have never been on a cruise, most of these ships are literally floating resorts.
This morning we used room service as our wake up call and they delivered smoked salmon (yes I like that stuff) and coffee, for me. Carmen, enjoyed toast and chocolate milk. Afterwards, she went to the spa and purchased a hot stone massage 100 minutes for $175. This afternoon she is also getting her haircut there and I have no idea what she is paying for that. She is an amazing women, she works hard, and she deserves it. I went to a workshop talking about all of our excursions that we could purchase at each port. I will tell you more about that as they come available. I also made a stop by the casino and won a $100 before walking out. I will leave here and go tan on the deck and enjoy the rest of the afternoon. This afternoon is the Captain's Galla, which means we will be dressed formal with men in tuxs or coat and tie and women in gowns. This evening the menu includes Lobster and Prime Rib. (YUMMY).
That's it for now I don't want this to get too long and boring. Readers as you read this please leave comments. Feel free to ask questions about my cruise or let me know what you would really like to hear more about and I will focus my blog post around your request.
