On the ship!

We got up at 5:30 AM to get ourselves ready to leave and close up the motorhome.  Breakfast at McDonald's then on to Ft. Lauderdale.  With the aid of our car GPS and Google maps on my phone we made it to Park n Go to leave our car and ride their bus to the cruise port.

Then it was a long winding walk, screening, sign-in and finally to our cabin.  Soon it was time for "the unlikely event" that the ship had a problem and we had to hit the drink drill.  Soon after the ship left the port.  Afterward we unloaded our suitcases and got settled.

We went to dinner about 6 PM and sat at an interesting table of 10 people.  I took forever to order our dinner as many people had to order wine and beer.

Three couples were nice and interesting but the fourth couple was right from the backwoods of Iowa.  And of course he wanted to dominate the table.  He is a hog farmer and wanted to relate to all of us about his work.  We learned about manure, artificial insemination, etc. Great dinner conversation.  We also found out Pres. Obama is a terrorist.

Dinner was good, we had prime rib.  I had a shuffle for dessert, Don had ice cream.
