Cruising

The Inspiration.

Looks like she's up to something doesn't it?

Another tough day!
Yup this retirement stuff is tough.

John & Rosie (good friends)
Lynn & Rosie at Margaritagrill.

Our boat for the air boat ride.

Being the sweet, kind , loving husband that I am, I decided it was time to give the wife a much needed break. (She keeps telling me that I'm impossible to live with). After an exhausting search I found the perfect vacation for my dear wife. (Actually John & Rosie called with the info and Sheila booked it) We have been talking about taking a cruise for a long time and decided it was time to go for it.
We just got back from our Caribbean cruise. The weather was perfect, the food was good and the company was great. We went on the carnival cruise ship “Inspiration.” The ship was pretty well decked out, two theaters, a pool, a water slide and an adult only area with a couple of hot tubs. My favorite part was the 7/24 pizza shop and the 7/24 ice cream machines. Of course I gained six pounds, so it's a good thing the trip was only 5 nights long. On the last day we got delayed twelve hours due to dense fog shutting down the harbor so we got an extra day of just hanging out and stuffing our faces. We thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling at Grand Cayman and the shopping at Cozumel brought back a lot of memories of Mexico. The wife came back well rested and ready to put up with me for a little while longer.


When we got back Lynn and Rosie were waiting for us. We didn't do much while they were here but went on an air boat trip that was pretty cool. We got to see quite a bit of the local waterways, including sponges, coral, migratory birds and fish. All in all it was a very enjoyable trip.

  1. We should've warned you about the food on those cruises. Being stuck on a floating buffet with nothing to do all day but eat and sleep, how can you lose. Now you know that a cruise is the only vacation that you can take where you don't need to rest once you get home.
