JenNM:
Hey isn't that what true friends are for, thanks for the update on Pua, we thought that they were due back on thursday. Any word on Smitty ?
Hi Jen and everyone! We just got home from the Holiday in Mobile at 10:30 P.M. We flew from Pensacola to Atlanta this afternoon and then from Atlanta to Pittsburgh this evening. It was a great cruise on a lovely ship. We met Jetskier/Dave in person on the Holiday on Friday. We had missed him earlier in the week, as I took Diane to the wrong bar by the wrong pool on the Lido Deck on Monday for a drink on our first afternoon onboard. We also met several great couples, Tom and Lois who gave us a free ride to Pensacols Airport from the Holiday and were our tablemates at dinner all week, and Danny and Gilda who we hung out with a lot all week. Gilda and Diane shopped a lot in Playa Del Carmen in between the raindrops. Danny showed me all the places in Playa Del Carmen with $1.00 beer while our wives shopped.
The crew of the Holiday had great food, nice parties, and lots of fun activities for their guests this week. The rain in both Cozumel and in Calica/Playa Del Carmen was a bit of a nuisance, but not enough to ruin a cruise. It was a fantastic vacation!
We love you Kalyn Padget and Rosie Unsworth (our lovely adopted daughters), Amy Barton, Melanie Therrien, TJ, and Rick! The Fun Crew puts the fun in Carnival Cruising! Thank you Butch for being a fantastic CD!
I've only been off the Holiday for a short time, and I'm already having fits of melancholy. I guess unless we can cruise every two months, I'll probably never be satisfied again.
Our 7 YO and 6 YO grandsons decided that they would prefer a Thanksgiving Cruise to Key West and Cozumel on the Destiny to Thanksgiving in Orlando/Kissimmee this November. We must be teaching them well. Thanks for an excuse for my booking another cruise, guys!

We went on two Norwegian Cruise Line Tramp Steamer Cruises - Thank goodness we were too busy on our honeymoon in 1978 to realize how crummy the cruise actually was - Then they ruined our 2007 Hawaii Cruise that was my retirement gift from my wife - Two chances is enough! - Never again!
Our current future dream cruise is 15 days back-to-back on the Freedom / 8-day Eastern (Fort Lauderdale) and the Valor / 7-day Western (Port of Miami) with a 45 minute private shuttle ride in between the two Fun Ships.
