Back Home!

[gja1000]

WHEW! I'm so glad to be back home from the Caribbean cruise. It was OK, but I will NEVER do that again and Gary swore he wouldn't either! I hope he meant it.

It was fun to be with his sisters, brothers-in-law, and nieces. They all had a great time and really loved being together.

But the cruise just mostly irritated me. And it was horribly rough for at least 4 days while sailing. We were never near the hurricanes/tropical storms in the gulf - but I think that is what caused our weather to be cloudy and WINDY! There were some days you had to be very careful walking because the sway and pitch of the ship would almost cause you to fall. I had to wear a scopalamine patch every day.

Gary did OK, not good and not terrible. At first he tried to do too much and was just exhausted on the fourth day and had to sleep most of that day. He took it easier and was able to do some things. He played blackjack in the casino every night, but could only stay about an hour due to the smoke in there. One night was non-smoking and although it stunk like smoke, it was better as no one was smoking. He started with $100 and ended up with $300 so he was happy with that. His brother-in-law won the $500 blackjack tournament. That was lots of fun to cheer him on!

I have a few pix - didn't take many. I'll get them posted soon!
