Luna Tail

I am on the ocean! How cool is that! Okay wait, I’m not on the ocean, I stand corrected. LOL. I’m on the Gulf of Mexico, so I guess I won’t be able to drop my camera into the Atlantic ocean. Woo hoo! I’m glad about that! LOL.

We slept at the Days Inn last night and it was okay, pretty much a dive but we lived. We lounged around this morning in the hotel room and I took a nap, which was very nice indeed.

We got to the port at about 11:30ish and we got the first glimpse of the Carnival Legend, the ship we’ll be on for the next 7 days.

The above picture is of Mark and Leann, my cruise mates. I work with Mark, and Leann is his sister, and we are getting along great and having a wonderful time together!

It’s going to cost me .75 cents per minute to be online on the ship, so I’m composing this post using Blog Desk and will upload it when I’m done. So I hope I don’t spend too much money on internet service. There are ample opportunities to spend money on the ship. Not only internet, but a full body massage is $59. Which I guess isn’t too much, but it’s a bit pricey for me. Soda cards are $45 for unlimited sodas. I don’t drink that much soda so I’m not going to get one. Leann and Mark both did though. I had two specialy drinks today already, and a glass of wine. I bought a bottle of wine.. ooo it’s yummy. It’s a Carbinet/Merlot, Black Opal, and it’s yummy.

We all ate way too much at dinner! Okay and before dinner… they have yogurt stands all over where you can get a cone anytime you want. I had two! Man, I’m eating too much. I had a Mediteranian meal for dinner, oh I couldn’t stop eating it was so good. And the chocolate melt cake with vanilla ice cream was to die for. Man where is my spare hollow leg, I need it now!

Here is Mark and Leann again on the boat. We haven’t left dock yet but getting close! Below is me on the deck too!

Indoors the ship is awesome, I’m very impressed. There is even a chapel and you can get married. Mark is below doing… err.. not sure what, in the chapel itself.

We are traveling at about 18 knots, which isn’t all that fast, but I’m not sure what the conversion to miles per hour is. I think it’s pretty similar. The sunset was goregous… I didn’t get any pictures of it I don’t think I have the right equipment. Maybe someday I will.

Our Stateroom is quite nice! Way better than the Days Inn. LOL. It’s small, but it’s nice and cozy and we love our balcony!

It’s hard for me to pick what pictures to post! These are just a few. I took 146 today. LOL yeah Marie, I know, that’s so many! We had a slide show tonight to watch them all. I told my friends about how we did that at dog camp too. It’s a great idea!

Here is a view from one of the top decks on the ship. Lots of people when we were moving away from port. (What is that called anyway… casting off? I forget!) As I sit here and type this I can feel the sway of the ship. I love it. I love the water and the sway and the feel. A part of me desires the water.. not sure why.

Tonight we are tired… it’s almost 10pm here, Eastern Time. And time to get to sleep. Though I have to go to the library and get some internet so I can upload this post. And I hope the pictures aren’t too big and take to long. I think all the internet here is satellite. I might check my email too… briefly. Not sure I’ll send any. So Hi everyone!

I’ll try to post tomorrow night too. Tomorrow is a sea day and we are gonna sleep in. Well, Mark and Leann think sleeping in is 6am, so we’ll see how late we can get!

On this day..
